Waiting Around to Die Townes Van Zandt
Capo 4
(Chords relative to capo)
[Am]Sometimes I don't know where this dirty[Dm] road is taking me
Some[Am]times I don't even know the reason[Em] why
I [Am]guess I'll keep a'gambling
Lots of [Dm]booze and lots of rambling
It's [Am]easier than just a[Em]-waitin' around t[Am]o die
[Am]One-time friends I had a ma,[Dm] I even had a pa
He b[Am]eat her with a belt once cause she [Em]cried
Sh[Am]e told him to take care of me
She head[Dm]ed down to Tennessee
It's e[Am]asier than just a[Em]-waitin' 'round to [Am]die
[Am]I came of age and found a girl in a Tus[Dm]caloosa bar
She [Am]cleaned me out and hit it on the s[Em]ly
I [Am]tried to kill the pain
I bought[Dm] some wine and hopped a train
Seeme[Am]d easier than just[Em] a-waitin' 'round[Am] to die
[Am]A friend said he knew where some easy m[Dm]oney was
We r[Am]obbed a man and brother did we fly[Em]
Th[Am]e posse caught up with me
Drug me [Dm]back to Muskogee
It's [Am]two long years, ju[Em]st a-waitin' 'rou[Am]nd to die
[Am]Now I'm out of prison, I got me a frien[Dm]d at last
He d[Am]on't steal or cheat or drink or li[Em]e
Hi[Am]s name's codeine
He's the[Dm] nicest thing I've seen
Toget[Am]her we're gonna wa[Em]it around and die[Am]
