You Never Even Called Me by My Name   David Allan Coe

You Never Even Called Me by My Name  David Allan Coe






 


 [(C)] Well it was all that I could [(G)]do to keep from [(C)]cryin'


 Some[(F)]times it seemed so [(G)]useless to [(C)]remain


 But [(F)]you don't have to c[(G)]all me darlin'[(C)] da[(Am)]rlin'


 You [(C)]never even [(G)]call me by my [(C)]name


 You don't have to c[(G)]all me Waylon J[(C)]ennings


 And [(F)]you don't have to [(G)]call me Charley [(C)]Pride


 And [(F)]you don't have to [(G)]call me Merle Hag[(C)]gard any[(Am)]more


 [(D)] Even though you're on my figti[(G)]n' side


 And I'll [(C)]hang around as l[(G)]ong as you will let [(C)]me


 and I [(F)]never minded sta[(G)]ndingin the r[(C)]ain.


 But [(F)]you don't have to c[(G)]all me darlin[(C)]' da[(Am)]rlin'


 you n[(C)]ever even [(G)]call me by my [(C)]name


 Well I've heard my name[(G)] a few times in your [(C)]phonebook (hello hello)


 And I've[(F)] seen it on [(G)]signs where I've pla[(C)]yed


 But the [(F)]only time I k[(G)]now I'll [(C)]hear David Allan[(Am)] Coe


 Is when J[(D)]esus has his final judgement [(G)]day


 So I'll [(C)]hang around as l[(G)]ong as you will let [(C)]me


 and I [(F)]never minded sta[(G)]nding in the ra[(C)]in.


 But [(F)]you don't have to c[(G)]all me darlin'[(C)] da[(Am)]rlin'


 you [(C)]never even [(G)]call me by my [(C)]name


 


 (Well a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song, and he told me it was


 the perfect country and western song


 I wrote him back a letter and told him


 It was not the percfect country and western song


 Because he hadn't said anything at all about mama


 Or trains or trucks or prison or gettin' drunk


 Well he sat down and wrote another verse to the song and he sent it to me


 And after reading it I realized


 That my friend had written the perfect country and western song


 And I felt at last obliged to itself the last verse goes like this here)


 Well I was [(C)]drunk the day my [(G)]mom got out o[(C)]f prison


 And I [(F)]went to pick her [(G)]up in the [(C)]rain


 But bef[(F)]ore I could [(G)]get to the station in a[(C)] pickup [(Am)]truck


 [(D)] She got run'd over by a damned old [(G)]train


 And I'll [(C)]hang around as [(G)]long as you will [(C)]let me


 and I [(F)]never minded s[(G)]tanding in the [(C)]rain.


 But [(F)]you don't have to [(G)]call me darlin'[(C)] da[(Am)]rlin'


 you [(C)]never even [(G)]called me,


 well I [(C)]wonder why you don't [(Am)]call me,


 why [(C)]dont you ever [(G)]call me by my [(C)]name.


 


 


 


 


 I looked for this song in a lot of places but never could find it, so i learned it


 by ear. I still haven't quit got the part where he talks about Steve Goodman but


 I'll add it as soon as i figure it out or if one of you know the cords please feel


 free to email them to me. Thanks.
