VERSE 1
            D MajorD                          G MajorG    A majorA                D MajorD
Well I'm a kid with a guitar trying to play Nuages when they ask.
G MajorG               A#A#         D MajorD
Where does your style come from?
D MajorD                            G MajorG            D MajorD
I know what you mean, 'cause I learned to sing
G MajorG                 A majorA            D MajorD
Listening to Blue Yodel number 1.
   B minorBm                       F# minorF#m                            G MajorG
We love Hank and Lefty, Bob Wills, Ernest Tubbs and Johnny Cash,
       E minorEm                                                 A majorA
but if we had to pinpoint the start of who we are we'd go back.


CHORUS
   G MajorG          D MajorD       A majorA         D MajorD
To Django and Jimmie, Paris and Mississippi.
  G MajorG             D MajorD           A majorA
A majorA young singing brakeman, a jazz playing gypsy.
      G MajorG              D MajorD      F#F#         G MajorG
There might not have been a Merle or a Willie,
   E minorEm      A majorA          D MajorD
if not for Django and Jimmie.

VERSE 2
            D MajorD             G MajorG      A majorA                   D MajorD
Through the 20's and 30's Jimmie sang his way to the top,
G MajorG                A#A#     D MajorD
despite of those old TB blues.
D MajorD                  G MajorG              D MajorD
Django was a star, he burned up a guitar
G MajorG                   A majorA         D MajorD
with just two good fingers to use.
          B minorBm                F# minorF#m                  G MajorG
You can't turn back time or put more sand in the glass,
    E minorEm                                         A majorA
but sometimes at night, I close my eyes and go back...


CHORUS
   G MajorG          D MajorD       A majorA         D MajorD
To Django and Jimmie, Paris and Mississippi.
  G MajorG             D MajorD           A majorA
A majorA young singing brakeman, a jazz playing gypsy.
      G MajorG              D MajorD      F#F#         G MajorG
There might not have been a Merle or a Willie,
   E minorEm      A majorA          D MajorD
if not for Django and Jimmie.

      G MajorG              D MajorD      F#F#         G MajorG
There might not have been a Merle or a Willie,
   E minorEm      A majorA          D MajorD
if not for Django and Jimmie.
