American Remains
Performed by Waylon Jennings
Transcribed by Eric Pettit
[Am]I am a shotgun rider, for the sanyasento [F]line
The [C]desert is my brother, my skin is cracked and [G]dry.
I was [Am]riding on a full coach, and everything was [F]fine
till we [C]took a shorter road to save some [G]time.
The [F]bandits only fired once, they[C] shot me in the chest.
They may have wounded me but they'll never get the [G]best
of better [F]men, and I'll ride [Am]again.
[Am]I am a river gambler, I make a living dealing [F]cards
My [C]clothes are smooth and honest, my heart is cold and [G]hard
I was [Am]shufflin for some Delta boys on a boat for New Or[F]leans
I [C]was the greatest shark they'd ever [G]seen.
But the [F]captain bumped a sandbar and an [C]ace fell from my sleeve
They threw me overboard as I swore I didn't [G]cheat
But I could [F]swim, and I'll ride [Am]again.
CHORUS:
We are [C]heroes of the homeland, American [G]remains,

We [C]will not be forgotten we wont be left [G]behind

[Am]I am a midwest farmer I make a living off the [F]land,
I [C]ride a john deer tractor im a liberated [G]man
But the [Am]rain it hasn't fallen since the middle of J[F]uly,
And [C]if it dont come soon my crops will [G]die
The [F]bankman says he likes me but theres [Am]nothing he can do,
He [C]tells me that he's coming, but the clouds are coming [G]too,
He ain't my [F]friend, and I'll ride [Am]again.
[Am]I am an American Indian, my tribe is [F]Cherokee
[C]My forefathers loved this land they left it here for [G]me
But the [Am]white man came with poaching trains and dirty facto[F]ries
[C]Poisoned my existence with his [G]deed
[F]Nature is our mother we are [Am]sucklings at her breast,
[C]He who tries to beat her down will lose her to the [G]rest
They'll never [F]win, and I'll ride [Am]again.

ME AND BOBBY McGEE
Performed by Waylon Jennings
Transcribed by Eric Pettit
B[C]usted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the train
Feelin' nearly faded as my [G7]jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down,
Just before it rained
Took us all the way to New [C]Orleans
[C]I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
And was blowing sad while [C7]Bobby sang the [F]blues
With those windshield wipers slappin' time
And [C]Bobby clappin' hands
We finally [G7]sang up every song that driver [C]knew
1st Chorus:
[F]Freedom's just another word for [C]nothin' left to lose
[G7]Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's [C]free
[F]Feeling good was easy Lord when [C]Bobby sang the blues
[G7]Feeling good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby [C]McGee
>From the coal mines of Kentucky to the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standin' right beside me Lord
Through everything I've done
And every night she kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas Lord I let her slip away
Lookin' for the home I hope she'll find
And I'd trade all of my tomorrows
For a single yesterday
Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
2nd Chorus:
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' left is all she left for me
Feeling good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
And buddy that was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

*************** PUT ME ON A TRAIN BACK TO TEXAS ***************
written by Jim Hurt,Billy Nelson and Roy Clayborne
performed by Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings.
Verse 1: (Willie)
I[D]'ve been on the road most all of my life
Traveled from coast to co[A]ast
In search of some pleasures and treasures and things
Whatever pleased me the m[D]ost
Like bandanas and blue jeans and old cowboy clothes
That bring back an old country s[G]ong
About rough rides and red-eyes and [D]old broken bones
And r[C/G]ailroad tracks r[G]unning back h[D]ome
Chorus: (Willie & Waylon)
P[G]ut me on a train back to Te[D]xas
I've b[G]een where the highwaymen r[D]oam
P[G]ut me on a train back to Te[D]xas
Wake me [C/G]up when we r[G]each San Ant[D]one
Wake me [C/G]up when we r[G]each San Ant[D]one
Verse 2: (Waylon)
M[D]amma says home's where the heart is
Like Bob Wills said in a po[A]em
My heart is there in the middle of Texas
Beside the old Alam[D]o
Like my broken in saddle and old leather boots
I'm worn but i'm still going str[G]ong
Cowboys can tell when the s[D]eason is changing
And[C/G] i think it's t[G]ime to move [D]on
Red Velvet

Transcribed by Eric Pettit
[A]Four months ago last [B]April on a [E]day coach she came [D]down,
[A]Nasty Autumn [E]winds began to [A]blow.[E]
Should have [A]known I couldn't [B]hold her living o[E]ut so far from [D]town,
The [A]nights to come were [E]long and slow to [A]go.[E]
If [A]I had [E]known, when [D]first we [A]kissed
[Bm]You can't keep [G]Red Velvet on a [E]border farm like this
[D]Now she's up and [E]left me and I'm [A]walking [D]down the [G]line
[D]dusty Autumn [A]winds began to [D]blow
All [D]dressed up in [E]red velvet in her [A]high heel shoes so [G]fine
The [D]nights to come were [A]long and slow to [D]go
[D]Somewhere in Vietnam a 19 year old soldier walked out of a [Am]barroom
and he [C]said I must be seeing things, that bourbon hit me [G]like a
baseball [D]bat.
In Belfast Ireland a little lady dropped her shovel in her [Am]garden
she [C]raced across the yard and asked her neighbor Mrs [G]Clancy, what was [D]that?
In Memphis Tennesee a teacher raised the window closest to the [Am]river

In Washington DC a private secretaries lips began to [Am]quiver
and the [C]president just put aside his papers and rose quickly [G]to his [D]feet.
[E]I lay in a cheap motel in the arms of someone else's [Bm]woman
[D]when a loud explosion rocked the room and turned the [A]morning into [E]night.
[E]I jumped out of bed and ran into the street with hardly any [Bm]clothes on,
as the [D]sky lit up my heart stood still and I could feel my face as [A]turned to [E]white.
[A]All at once the clouds rolled back and there stood Jesus Christ in all
his [E]glory and I realized the saddest eyes I'd ever seen were
looking straight at [B]me.
[D]I guess I was awakened by the penetrating sound of my own [Am]screaming
and it [C]didn't take me long to stumble out of bed and fall [G]down on my [D]knees.
As tears rolled down my face I cried dear lord I'm thankful I was only [Am]dreaming,
and if I never go to [C]hell lord it'll be because you scared it [G]out of [D]me.

Go home and [B]wait until tomorrow[A], you just might find a better [E]way.
[E]But against my better judgement, I kicked in the door,
They looked up from the bed to see my blazing 44
Can't this w[A]ait until tomorrow, it just my be a better [E]day
Go home and [B]wait until tomorrow,[A] just might find a better [E]way.
[E]The jailer serves me my last meal, the barber shaved my head,
I looked down at that little green door, and this is what I said,
Can't this [A]wait until tomorrow, it just might be a better [E]day.
Y'all [B]wait until tomorrow[A], there's got to be a better [E]way.
[E]So all you would be heroes, when you pass your baby's yard,
Leave them Harleys where you find em, leave them TV's where they are
Go home and [A]wait until tomorrow, just might be a better [E]day
You better [B]wait until tomorrow,[A] just might find a better [E]way.
Wave Goodbye To Me (and I'll be Leaving)
Performed by Waylon Jennings
Transcribed by Eric Pettit
[C]I'm just here to get my [F]things and I'll be [C]leaving
And I've [F]got somebody waiting just [C]outside
So don't [F]start to cry to me about your [C]hurt and misery
Cause the [D7]only thing that's a hurting is your [G]pride
Just [C]wave goodbye to [F]me and I'll be [C]leaving
Walk me to the door and say so [G]long
No need [C]talking any[F]more saying [C]things I've heard [F]before
Just [C]wave goodbye to [F]me and I'll be [C]gone, [F]gone, [C]gone, [F]gone
[C]Wave goodbye to [G]me and I'll be [C]gone.
[D]Go tell all your [G]friends that I'm a [D]cheater
[G]Tell em how I've cause you all this [D]pain
But if [G]they start asking you just [D]why I proved untrue
That [E7]might not be so easy to [A]explain
Just [D]wave goodbye to [G]me and I'll be [D]leaving
Walk me to the door and say so [A]long
No need [D]talking any[G]more saying [D]things I've heard [G]before
Just [D]wave goodbye to [G]me and I'll be [D]gone, [G]gone, [D]gone, [G]gone
[D]Wave goodbye to [A]me and I'll be [D]gone.
What About You
Performed by Waylon Jennings
Transcribed by Eric Pettit
[G] [C] [C]The days have seemed [F]long, and I've been [C]lonesome
Recalling the [G]dreams, that never came [C]true
The nights have been [F]lonely, but now that's all [C]over
Ive paid my [G]debts, for trusting in [C]you
CHORUS
[C]Every [F]day, you're memory grows [C]dimmer, clouds drift [G]away,
sunshine seeps [C]through.
[C]Every [F]night, no longer you'll [C]haunt me, my conscience is [G]clear,
what about [C]you
[C]Its hard to [F]believe, that you are the [C]same one
That once meant so [G]much, that I loved so [C]true
It's hard to [F]know, I've worshiped the wr[C]ong one
But I've paid for it[G], what about yo[C]u.
Chorus
Words Come Easy
Performed by Waylon Jennings
Transcribed by Eric Pettit
[C]Words come [F]easy like the wind, when you're [C]sorry.
But you're [G]only sorry when you [C]want me back again.
And the [F]love that used to be, still lives [C]in my memory,
words come [G]easy, for you but not for [C]me.
[C]You've forgotten long ago, how to be [F]true.
And you're [G]sorry, when each new love tires of [C]you.
You come running back to see, if theres [F]still a chance with me
and you [G]stay just long enough to know there [C]is.
[C]Words come [F]easy like the wind, when you're [C]sorry.
But you're [G]only sorry when you [C]want me back again.
And the [F]love that used to be, still lives [C]in my memory,
words come [G]easy, for you but not for [C]me.

Performed by Waylon Jennings
Transcribed by Eric Pettit
[A]You're the only world I know, youre the one I cant let [E7]go
Youre my laughter and my tears, and I'll love you all my [A]years
Youre the beating of my heart, you're my thoughts when we're [E7]apart
You're the one I can't let go, you're the only, only world [A]I know.
[A]You're the only world I know, youre the one I cant let [E7]go
Youre my laughter and my tears, and I'll love you all my [A]years
You're my nightime and my day, you're my one love all the [E7]way
You're the one I can't let go, you're the only, only world [A]I know.
