FSeven long Cyears together Gplaying those one night Gstands

FHold On a Csong he wrote Gtear your heart Gright out
CWe Ctraveled the Fnorthern route and Cfrom the Great Lakes to Montreal
FHitting all Cthe honkytonks GI bet we played them Gall

I Fnever Cunderstood how he Gplayed it so Ggood while drinking himself half blind.

And you... Fwouldn't think a Gman so weak Am... could be so Fstrong....
DmTake a crowd of Amrowdy drunks and Ghush them with a song
Chorus
And I'd Crather be Fsinging my Gheart out in a dark and Amdingy Gbar F
FHitting those Chigh notes with GWillie's sad guitar.
And I'd Crather be Fsinging a blues Gsong singing Amsweet Gand Fhigh
FWillie standing right Cby my side Gplaying country Cslide
