VERSE: (Spoken)
C                      F
 Old friends and boats, and stuff that works
C                G
 A Randall knife, an old blue shirt
C                  F
 Strong and steady, like Texas dirt
C                     G
 It's a place to hide  when you really hurt

C                                    F
 Well, Coleman Bonner and Sis Draper, a worn-out fiddle case
C                                G
 Old Skinny Dennis, I can still hear him singing bass
C                     F
 Well, that workbench  was a holy place
C                     G
 His favorite picture, Susanna's face

 And there ain't nothin' like  a Guy Clark song
G                                C
 You're feeling fragile, afraid you don't belong
F                   C                 Am
 It's a lonely road  you're traveling on
C             G           F                F  F
 There ain't nothin' like  a Guy Clark song


VERSE: (Spoken)
C                   F
 Homegrown tomatoes  and a Dallas whore
C                                   G
 A girl named Rita doing a slow bandera across a dance hall floor
C                      F
 Oh, he rolled his own  and he loved to roar
C
 Man, it's been over 40 years since
     G
We shared that stage at the Troubadour


CHORUS: (Sing)
F                              C
 Well there ain't nothin' like  a Guy Clark song
G                                C
 You're feeling fragile, afraid you don't belong
F                   C                 Am
 It's a lonely road  you're traveling on
C             G           F                F  F
 There ain't nothin' like  a Guy Clark song

 Well, what do you do when your heroes die?

 'Cause Desperadoes don't worry  or wonder why
