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

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

INSTRUMENTAL: Em D Em

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

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

   G       D   F#     G
There might not have been a Merle or a Willie,
  Em   A     D
if not for Django and Jimmie.
