Guitar chords with lyrics

  • Difficulty: Beginner 👶
Chorus:
  D                                G        D
I know that I'm not great and some say I imitate
   D                          E7               A7
Anymore I don't know I'm just doing the best I can
      G                       D
After all I'm standing in the shadows
     A           D
Of a very famous man

Verse:
  D
As I travel around from town to town
  G                             D
I have a lot of dad's fans and friends come around
They say I know Hank would be proud of you if he were here today
  E7                              A7
Now well we're all so glad and we know he would be too
                                         D
That you're carryin' on his music this way

Verse:

  D
Yes they say Hank was the all time great
 G                                      D
And we know you'll be just as good as your dad
 G                           D
But I just smile and say there'll never be another Hank Williams friends
        A7                           D
That's the part that always makes them sad

Chorus:

  D                                G        D
I know that I'm not great and some say I imitate
   D                          E7               A7
Anymore I don't know I'm just doing the best I can
      G                       D
It's Hard standing in the shadows
     A           D
Of a very famous man

Verse:

  D                                  G                           D
So many times when I'm on that stage I feel something go through me
         D                                   E7                              A7
And for a minute I'm in a different world and that's when it does something to me
D
The people are a hollering and clapping real aloud
G                              D
While I'm out there taking my bows
  G                             D                         A7                     D
I look toward the ceiling and I say to myself listen dad just listen to that crowd

Verse:

      D
But as the show goes on the people clap and holler more
 G                                     D
I start singing another of your great songs
  G                          D                         A7                            *D
That's the time that I know although you're gone your music will live on and on and on
