Verses –

Then there was the time I saw the great Hank Williams singing on the stage in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
and he was all dressed up in drag

as he drank from a brown paper bag
And the songs he sang of love and pain so pure perfect reflections of human imperfections,
it damn near choked me up
But the rest of the show, was kind of slow And then someone woke me up

Repeat Intro

Later on the Astros were silently beating the living crap out of Cincinnati on the
TV above and a little to the left of the great Hank Williams’ head
As a busty suicide blonde waitress poured him a double shot of ‘whatever you got’ and laughingly said
”I thought you were dead”
The pool balls cracked as he tilted his head back and told her how he had been a big star
but now country music was full of freaks
He sat there, in the TV glare Mascara streaked his cheeks

Repeat Intro

When I was only sixteen years old I went from Houston to Abilene with a spunky stunningly handsome woman
in a Volkswagen Bug
She was grown with some kids all her own, a committment-free divorcee,
and I was a man in love
We had only one 8-track tape but it was of the late great Hank Williams and
we sang in two-part harmony
”Hey good lookin’, how’s about cookin' Something up with me”

Repeat Intro

Back at the bar they were calling last call so I gave the barmaid a credit card
to pay up my tab
The TV was turned off and the stage was dark and the great Hank Williams was gone
so I asked her to call me a cab
She said if you like I can give you a ride, so there we were out the door
and into the city of brotherly love
Into the night, out of sight, In a VW Bug

– Just listen to the song, and plug in the walk-ups/downs in as needed. The verses sound find just strumming chords, but you
gotta get the walk-ups/downs
in between to keep the atmosphere of the song.

This is my first attempt at a tab, let me know what you think. I’ve been looking for this song forever, finally figured it out
on my own as my skills slowly
build.
