Red Bandana Merle Haggard
[D]We left home when we were barely past eleven-teen[G]
Been bac[D]k and forth and all around through hell and rain[A7]
[D] [G]I???ve loved you half of your life and I???ll keep on loving you
But I c[A7]an???t change and live the way you want me too[D]
[D]We spend a lot of time out on the highway[G]
C[D]oming from some town we played along the way[A7]
After thi[D]rty years of knowing me the way you do[G]
[D]But I can???t change and live the w[A7]ay you want me too[D]
[A7] [D]But babe, that red bandana wrapped around your auburn hair
You look[A7] like you ought to be somebody???s wife somewhere[D]
[D] [G]Yeah you???re never gonna be no Bobby McGee but your trying to
But I c[D]an???t change and live the w[A7]ay you want me too[D]
[D] [G]Every time you leave the stage I know you???ve had your fill
And I wond[D]er why you grew up and why I never will[A7]
Yeah I???m forty[D]-one today still going on twenty-two[G]
But I c[D]an???t change and live the wa[A7]y you want me too[D]
That red[A7] bandana wrapped around your auburn hair[D]
You look[A7] like you ought to be somebody???s wife somewhere[D]
[D] [G]Yeah you???re never gonna be no Bobby McGee but your trying to
[D] [A7] [D]Yeah, but I can???t change and live the way you want me too
No I c[D]an???t change and live the wa[A7]y you want me too[D]
