Eyes Of Waylon

Hank Williams Jr.


Tom: G

        G                       F            G 
When it comes to real rounders, there's only one 
         G                    F           G 
That was better than I was at havin' some fun 
         G             F           G 
Now it's true he shows grey in his beard 
     G                                  F            D     
Does that mean he's history, or is he a pillar and a peer 
     G                     F                G 
This music called country, somethin' we all make 
       G                           F          D 
No, it didn't just happen cause of the latest rage 
                G                              F                  G  
Soon he was the biggest thing to come along in Nashville in those days 
            G                              F            G 
He sang his song called \"Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way\" 
        G                           F                G 
I don't know if he did or not but I sure know what I saw 
        G                                F              D  
The 1st triple platinum in that town was hanging on his wall 
    G                  F             G 
Radio will play him until the end of time 
        G                                D  
Because he's a real legend not the phony kind 
 
      G             D       C 
And I looked in the eyes of Waylon 
    G                                         D 
And there I saw things that I'd never seen before 
        G            D             C 
I saw a father and a brother and a friend 
          G                                D 
I saw the nights we spent while out on the road 
             G                   D                  G 
It's not the money, it's not the fame, it's not the ladies 
        G              F            G 
And the eyes of Waylon just told me so 
        G            D       C 
Yes, I looked in the eyes of Waylon 
G                                    D             
There I learned things that I better know 
         G                  D         C 
And if I doubted there is a hillbilly heaven 
    G              F            G   
The eyes of Waylon just told me so 
 
And if I doubted there is a hillbilly heaven 
The eyes of old Waylon just told me so
