If Ole Hank Could Only See Us Now

Waylon Jennings


Tom: G

G
If Ole Hank could only see us now
   C                              G
If he could see what we got goin’ down
       D7
We got legits and buses chauffeured limousines
D7
We done moved from the Ryman and Opry’s on TV
D7
I’d give a hundred dollars if I could know somehow
                                              G
What’d ya think if ole Hank could only see us now


[Verse]

G
Well Nashville’s got to rich to sing the blues
        C                                                  G
They’ve traded in their cowboy boots for high-heeled Gucci shoes
      D7
Looks like they took the music out to lunch
                                  G
There ain’t a decent yodel in the bunch


[Chorus]

       G
If ole Hank could only see us now
   C                              G
If he could see what we got goin’ down
       D7
We got game shows and videos and a lot of souvenirs
D7
From machines and synthesizers ringin’ in our ears
D7
I’d give a hundred dollars if I could know somehow
                                              G
What’d ya think if ole Hank could only see us now


[Verse]

      G
It’s still a long hard road but you know you’re at the top
         C                                G
When the CMA awards you for crossin’ over pop
  D7
I guess they finally think we’ve come of age
                                               G
Singin’ through the smoke strobe lights on the stage
