Waco Moon chords by Todd Snider

Yellow Rose, Waco Moon
C                           G
Quit too late you're gonna die too soon
C                           G
Woman with a needle and a silver spoon
D
Holed up singin' the devil's tune
C                    D
Playin' the blues, payin' your dues
G              D/F#       Em
Speedin' your young life away
         G                    Em
I never will get over what I heard about you
     C          D          G
The first thing New Year's Day

G
I can't say I felt so sad
C              G
The truth is I think I'm mad
        C              G
At the selfish way you left your dad
D
When you know what a hard luck time he's had
C                   D
Sleepin' through a dream come true
G                     D/F#      Em
You just threw all that talent away
        G                                EM
I never will get over what I heard about you
C               D          G
The first thing New Year's Day


D     C     G
Ooooo hoooooo

Ooooo hoooooo

New Year's Day


G
I threw the phone against the wall
C                  G
Falling apart when I got the call
  C                         G
I went out walkin' with the weight of it all
D
That's when it hit me like a waterfall
C                      D
I'm playin' the blues, payin' my dues
G             D/F#      Em
Speedin' my young life away
        G                                Em
I never will get over what I heard about you
C          D               G
The first thing New Year's Day


D     C     G
Ooooo hoooooo
           D
Slippin' away
      C     G
Ooooo hoooooo

We'll be missing you
