[Verse 1] 
Am        G             C              F      E
I saw the ghost of Hank Williams this mornin’ 
                  Am
On sixteenth avenue
Am               G             C            F       E
Selling homeless papers on the corner for a dollar 
                             Am
Beneath the statue of The Muse


[Chorus]
             C            G/B       Am      G        F         G
And I said, “Hank, have you come back to haunt or save?”
                 C        G/B      Am      G       F
He said, “I been rolling, rolling, rolling in my grave. 
E                             Am
I’m tired of rolling in my grave.”


[Verse 2]
Am                       G                 C                 F     E
He said, “Sometimes I’ll walk along these streets alone for hours
                       Am
With a guitar in my hand
         G                  C                F       E
I rattle doors and press my face against the windows 
                 Am
Nobody lets me in.”


[Chorus]
             C            G/B       Am      G        F         G
And I said, “Hank, have you come back to haunt or save?”
                 C        G/B      Am      G       F
He said, “I been rolling, rolling, rolling in my grave. 
E                             Am
I’m tired of rolling in my grave.”


[Bridge]
          C                  G/B             Am                         G
He said, “Son, it looks like you’ve worn the soles clear out your boots.
F                                   C                     G/B
Trying to walk that long, hard road so far from your roots,
Am                                 G                  F                    C
But don’t you ever be ashamed of a lonesome song with three chords and the truth.”
      Dm                                     G
And I paid him for the paper with some change
       Dm               C             G
And he shook my hand as it began to rain


[Chorus]
             C            G/B       Am      G        F         G
And I said, “Hank, have you come back to haunt or save?”
                 C        G/B      Am      G       F
He said, “I been rolling, rolling, rolling in my grave. 
E                             Am
I’m tired of rolling in my grave.”


[Verse/Outro]
Am        G             C              F      E
I saw the ghost of Hank Williams this mornin’ 
                  Am
On sixteenth avenue
Am               G             C            F       E
Selling homeless papers on the corner for a dollar 
                             Am*
Beneath the statue of The Muse
