	G	C
	"Do you know who I am?" said	Bill Haley

	G	D
	in a pancake house near the Rio	Grande

	G	C
	the waitress said, "I don't know you from	diddley"

	G	D	G	C
	"To me you're just a	nother tired old	man"

VERSE 2:

He walked alone down on Main street

a hot wind was blowing up from the south

there were two eyes staring in a pawn shop window

and a whiskey bottle was lifted up to his mouth

CHORUS

	C	D	G
	there was no moon	shining on the	Rio Grande

	C	D	G
	as a truck of	migrants pulled through	town

	C	D	G	D/F#	Em	D
	and the jukebox was	busted at the	bus	de -	pot

C |G````|D`C`|G```|D`C`|

when Haley's Comet hit the ground

VERSE 3:

He blacked out all the windows in his bedroom

he was talking to the ceiling and the walls

he closed his eyes and hit the stage in 1955

as the screams of the children filled the hall

(repeat CHORUS)

VERSE 4:

This cop walked into a pancake house in Texas

and ordered up a couple of cups to go

and he tells the waitress, "Hey, I just found the body

of some guy who was famous long ago"

(final CHORUS uses |G```|D`C`| pattern played 4 times - same as intro)
