Verse 1
(C major) He came to town with a lot
of dreams swapped BMG for KFC
And four (F major) strings on his Gibson (C major)
and now he's frying chicken
He swore (F major) someday the world (C major) of country mu
(D major) sic but he held on to his (G major) faded dreams
Would be his'n his jeans and cowboy hat
He drove (C major) a beat up Chevy truck he
still leans in that microphone
And he (F major) didn't have no money (C major) says
you want some fries with that
But (F major) he was such a god (C major)
ole boy
Chorus: The last time that I saw him
Back (G major) when he was hungry (C major) he was singin'
down at Tootsie's
He wrote some songs and walked the streets
a big tattoo on both his arms
(F major) Beggin' folks to listen (C major) and his
earring was a beauty
Sometimes (F major) he crawled just (C major) like a snake
he said I'm goin' rock'n roll
Without (D major) a pit to (G major) hiss in those guys
make all the money
He looked (C major) like Garth and sang like
Hank from now on you can call me
And (F major) everybody loved (C major) him the Artist
Formerly Known As Hungry
(F major) He swore he'd never change (C major) a
thing back (G major) when he was hungry (C major)
Back (F major) when BMI and (C major)
CMA were only letters
And R&R was what you took
to get to feeling (G major) better
And Bill (F major) board was a road sign not
a chart (C major) that came on Monday (F major)
Life (C major) was oh so simple back then back (G major)
when he was hungry (C major) (F major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
And then one day he wrote a song that
got (F major) someone's atten (C major) tion
The (F major) A&R at (C major) BMG got
J- (D major) O- E to (G major) listen
Then Joe (C major) called James and
James called Don
Don (F major) called Mrs Hil (C major) ley and (F major)
Oermann wrote he's (C major) gonna be
The nex (G major) t big hot hillbilly (C major) well
his record went to Number One
And the (F major) good ole boy went crazy (C major)
he hired (F major) a band then fired (C major) a band
He (D major) toured and then got lazy (G major)
suddenly (C major) he knew it all
The rest (F major) of us were dum (C major) mies he
scarcely (F major) could remem (C major) ber
Back (G major) when he was hungry (C major)
Well he married and then he got divorced
and (F major) met this cute young (C major) honey
He thought (F major) she craved his body (C major)
but she (D major) only craved his money (G major)
She (C major) cleaned out his bank account
then ran (F major) off with his drum (C major) mer
(F major) Left him where he star (C major) ted from
back (G major) when he was hungry (C major)
Well he lost his deal and life got real and he had (F major) to give up pick (C major) in'
