#1.
Chord diagramE MajorE
I seen an old fighter, tired and in trouble,
                          Chord diagramBB
who just couldn't take anymore.
Chord diagramB minorBm        Chord diagramBB
Somethin' inside him kept fighting to finish,
                          Chord diagramE MajorE
with only his feet on the floor, yeah.
#2.
Chord diagramE MajorE
Lord, I know that it's worth any price you
                                    Chord diagramBB  Chord diagramA augmentedA
could pay, to see truth in whatever disguise.
    Chord diagramBB
But I'd have paid double for one look of pleasure,
                         Chord diagramE MajorE
a piece of relief in his eyes.


CHORUS:
           Chord diagramA augmentedA                    Chord diagramE MajorE      Chord diagramA augmentedA
Ain't that clown, laughin' like crazy, ain't his
Chord diagramBB              Chord diagramE MajorE
eyes empty and deep?
         Chord diagramA augmentedA               Chord diagramE MajorE              Chord diagramBB
Don't he sound, sad as a baby, when she cries out
       Chord diagramE MajorE
in her sleep.

Chord diagramE MajorE
We measured the space between Waylon and Willie,
                          Chord diagramBB
and Willie and Waylon and me.
Chord diagramBB
But there wasn't nothin' like Billy Jo Shaver,
              Chord diagramDbmDbm           Chord diagramE MajorE
what Billy Jo Shaver should be, no.

When he showed up sick, later, all bit by a spider,

He put on a show that was sad as it should have been,
                     Chord diagramE MajorE
and nobody even knew why.
