Me And Big Dave chords by Colter Wall

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

A augmentedA                      E MajorE
Me and a big Dave were just trying to stay upright

                           A augmentedA
We were chasing white lines and warping our minds last night

We were killing the time though we sure didn't know it

D MajorD
Hunting down rhymes with a Kentucky poet

E MajorE                    A augmentedA
Me and big Dave were just trying to stay alive

Verse 2:

A augmentedA
There's some folks around town

                    E MajorE
That might cuss our names down to the floor

They might claim that were loners

           A augmentedA
No account stoners and more

It's the same kind of people claim to be chosen

D MajorD
Their ears made of stone and their tongues made of poison

 E MajorE                          A augmentedA
The doctrine they preach has got nothing that they can teach me

Verse 3:

 A augmentedA                              E MajorE
Well I don't know if Dave hates the same kind of hate that I do

                          A augmentedA
He knows that I know that he's been cut down by it too

Well people get talking 'bout things that we uses

D MajorD
I ain't in the business of making excuses

E MajorE                    A augmentedA
Me and big Dave were just trying to stay alive

This whole world's full of ghosts

                  E MajorE
That I believe that most folks can't see

                         A augmentedA
The particular demons that reason with big Dave and me

Lyrics from Willie Nelson - Red Headed Stranger


D MajorD                  A augmentedA                       E MajorE
Don't cross him, don't boss him, he's wild in his sorrow, he's ridin' and hidin' his pain

D MajorD                 A augmentedA          E MajorE           A augmentedA
Don't fight him, don't spite him, let's wait till tomorrow maybe he'll ride on again
