🤠 Verse 1:
        A                         A
I'm the last of the babies of the World War 2
D                           D
 World War 2 and that's the one we didn't lose
I heard that
      A                            A
I was raised on biscuits, spam and powdered eggs
  D                     D
DiMaggio's baseball and Marilyn's legs

🤠 Verse 2:
    A                                         A
I remember when the great train, they used to run on coal
D                                D
 And they would run on coal and I would be ready to go, me too
A                     A
Old white shirt and a tired overall
D                    D
Sometimes I think my daddy knew it all

    A                     A
I remember Louisiana in a hot steamy night
D                             D
 Hot steamy night and she was holding me tight
   A                    A
An old red Chevy with a big back seat
  D                    D
I had me some two tall shoes off my feet


🤠 Chorus: 
            D           A       A

      A                      A
I'm a world war baby holding mama's hand
D                       D
 Mama's hand and how my daddy knew the land
A                        A
 Truck bearin' music and poverty and wealth
D                      D
 I got some great big scars on myself


🤠 Chorus: 
            D           A       A
Now I'm the last of the drifters
            A             A
Last of the drifters, yeah

I'm the last tie roller with the last good hand
D                         D
 Last good hand and I'm a gambling man
A                         A
All them bombs and people wakin' on that boom
D                        D
Sometimes I reckon I got here too soon


🤠 Outro: 
        D           A       A
