With a heartful of hard-luck country songs

Nashville Tennessee, they didn't understand him
      C                                  Dm

And even from the waist up, he gave the world a thrill

Alcohol and pills, is a cryin' shame
    Gm                                        Bb
You think they might have been happy with the glory and the fame

Janis Joplin, she was wild and reckless
C                                 Dm
Then there was Gram Parsons, then there was Jimmy Hendrix
Dm                                  Bb

Sometimes somebody won't wake up one day

Sometimes it's a heart attack, sometimes they won't say
          Dm                                     Bb
