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

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

if not for Django and Jimmie.

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