Waylon Jennings


Tom: D

Intro: D

    D                            G          D
The bars are all closed, and the ladies are leavin'
                      E7           A7
There's nobody nobody knows on the street
       D                          G           D
Just a few stranded souls waitin' cold at the station
     G          D         A7         D
with nowhere to go but to bed and to sleep

G
Lord, would you look at me
D
Now that I'm here
        A7
lookin' back through the years
        D
see the hard way I've come


    G
All alone all the way
         D
right or wrong, now who's to say
       A        A7         A
That I threw it away for a song
                                   D
Boy I've sure come a long way from home

Break: D  G D    E A

Solo: (D  G D    G D A D)


        D               G        D
So it's so long so many so far behind me
D                              E7     A
Fair-weather friends that I no longer know
     D                           G          D
I've still got some same old sad songs to remind me
   G         D         A         D   D7
Of someone I used to be, so long ago

G
Lord, would you look at me
D
Now that I'm here
        A7
lookin' back through the years
        D
see the hard way I've come


    G
All alone all the way
         D
right or wrong, now who's to say
       A        A7         A
That I threw it away for a song
                                   D
Boy I've sure come a long way from home
