The Troublemaker - Willie Nelson
Intro:
| G |
Verse 1:
G Bm Am
I could tell the moment that I saw Him
G D/A
He was nothing but the trouble making kind
C Bm C Bm
His hair was much too long and his motley group of friends
F Am
Had nothing but rebellion on their minds
Verse 2:
G Bm Am
He's rejected the establishment completely
G D/A
I know for sure He's never held a job
C Bm C Bm
He just goes from town to town, stirring up the young folks
F Am G
Till they're nothing but a disrespectful mob
Verse 3:
G/A D/A A
I know for sure He's never joined the army
D/A
And served his country like we all have done
D A D B A
He'd rather wear His sandals and His flowers
D B A
While others wage the war that must be won
Verse 4:
G Bm Am
They arrested Him last week and found Him guilty
G D/A
And sentenced Him to die but that's no great loss
C Bm C Bm
Friday they will take Him to a place called Calvary
F G
And hang that troublemaker to a cross.
