D MajorD               G+G D MajorD
On a cold and foggy evening in 1959
        FF        D MajorD
Waylon Jennings nearly lost his life

The Big Bopper talked the outlaw

With Buddy Holly on that midnight flight

We were on the road with Haggard back in '85
            FF       D MajorD
The year they wrote The Amber Waves of Grain
              G+G        D MajorD
The Okie from Muskogee was speaking for us all

When he wrote that song to bring the farmer’s aid

  G+G                  D MajorD
But just last month I heard that he got tired
  G+G                D MajorD
And went away to rest and write some place
   G+G         FF     G+G      D MajorD
Tell Merle we're on his side cause he and Mama Tried
            C majorC        D MajorD
And I say hat's off to another hard luck ace

G+G              D MajorD
Some of them are with us and some of them are gone
C majorC                  A augmentedA
Some of them are out there somewhere barely hanging on
G+G             D MajorD
Each one is a treasure no one can take his place

♫ Verse 3:
               G+G      G+G
I remember meeting Janis in a bar in Santa Cruz
           FF      D MajorD
With a dealer she pretended to ignore
                      G+G         D MajorD
She was swiggin' southern comfort and every time her glass ran low
