Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA x2

Verse 1:
    A augmentedA
Oh, the last time I saw Hank
    D MajorD                A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
He was walking through a cornfield all alone

He was looking kinda hungry
    F# minorF#m                  E MajorE
Like a dog that buried but could not find the bone
   A augmentedA
And I asked him, did he need a drink?
     D MajorD               A augmentedA   Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
He said, "Son, you can take that to the bank"

Then I woke up in a cold sweat
    E MajorE                 A augmentedA   Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
In this dream I call "The Last Time I Saw Hank"

Verse 2:
    A augmentedA
Oh, the last time I saw George Jones
   D MajorD               A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
Was a honky tonk on the road to Galveston

I believe he was still drinking
        F# minorF#m   E MajorE
Must have been 1980, 1981
      A augmentedA
And you can feel the pain and sorrow
    D MajorD                   A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
As his words flew out and rose high then they sank

Then a bottle broke though my windshield
    E MajorE                 A augmentedA   Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
In this dream I call "The Last Time I Saw Hank"

Bridge 1:
    D MajorD
Oh, the last time I saw Jesus
                  A augmentedA Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
He was walking up the hill of Calvary

And he stumbled but he got some help
    F# minorF#m            E MajorE
From a man they call "Simon of Cyrene"
        D MajorD
I called out, "Jesus, I am drowning"
                           C# minorC#m
He says, "It's no one drowns, 'cause I will walk the plank"
   B minorBm
And I woke up treading water
    E MajorE                 A augmentedA   Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
In this dream I call "The Last Time I Saw Hank"

Interlude:

Verse 3:
    A augmentedA
Oh, the last time I saw my father
  D MajorD                 A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
He looked as if he'd just got out of jail

And he said, "I'm gonna win it back"
    F# minorF#m             E MajorE
Like a man convinced somehow he had failed
     A augmentedA
From the corn fields of Iowa
  D MajorD                 A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
To Hollywood and three months in the tank

Oh, the great American dreamer
   E MajorE                 A augmentedA   Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
In a dream I call "The Last Time I Saw Hank"

Bridge 2:
    D MajorD
Oh, the last time I saw my mother
               A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
Someone put a rose on her forehead

Was this miracle or mockery?
       F# minorF#m              E MajorE
I'd scream, "She's asleep, she ain't really dead"
   D MajorD
And I sang my old song "Alkali"
                  C# minorC#m
She opened up her eyes and then she winked
      B minorBm
And it all moved in a circle
    E MajorE                 A augmentedA   Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
In this dream I call "The Last Time I Saw Hank"

Interlude:

Verse 4:
    A augmentedA
Oh, the last time I saw Hank
    D MajorD                A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
He was walking through a cornfield all alone
