(E minor) (G major) (D major) (A minor) (G major) (A minor)
Verse 1
(G major) Jerry Jeff Walker stumbled
(D major) up the stairs on his (C major) way to the stage
With (D major) a Martin guitar and a six- (G major) pack
Yeah, and he was the poet
of the (D major) Lone Star state
And (C major) I was young enough to think I (D major) was
good enough to be his (G major) openin' act (G minor) (G major)

Verse 2
And in a (E minor) cloud of smoke he
took an (A major) other toke
And counted (C major) one, two, three
And I (E minor) knew right there just
(A major) breathing his air
What I (C major) wanted to be
(D major)
Verse 3
(G major)
Buckar (D major) oos and jaded
lovers (E minor)
L.A. freeway and (C major) redneck mother
(G major) Mothers who had raised (D major) a son so well (C major)
Talking (D major) outlawed,
(G major) long hair loners and (D major) (G major) stoners
Verse 4
Singing about to (C major) come back home and (G major)
Most likely (D major) too far gone
to (G major) get there
(D major) (C major)
Verse 5
(G major)
Hey, Kix, that was (D major) '76
That was (C major) just enough beer to
get us (D major) through the set
And get as (G major) high as our crowd (G minor)
We got (G major) 700 miles Jerry, (D major) we gotta go
You're (C major) out of your mind
You'll never (D major) make it on time
Why not just (G major) have another round?
Verse 6
Oh, we were (E minor) trying to get paid
Yes, we're (A major) trying to get laid
(C major) Living on love
Sleep (E minor) ing on the stage
Just (A major) turn another page
Never (C major) thinking we'd ever grow (D major) up (G major)
Verse 7
Buckar (D major) oos and jaded lovers (E minor)
L.A. freeway and (C major) redneck mother
(G major) Mothers who had (D major) raised a son so
well (C major) (aah good boy)
Talking (D major) outlawed,
(E minor) long (D major) hair (G major) loners and (D major) (G major) stoners
Verse 8
Singing about to (C major) come back home and (G major)
Most likely too (D major) far gone to (G major) get there (E minor) (G major)
Verse 9
(C major) Well, the way I recall the (D major) '70's
We were down in Austin and the estab (G major) lishment
were saying we were wasting our (C major) time
The next thing I know,
we were (G major) making more money than we could count
We're all being sued by the (D major) IRS
And having more fun than the law allowed
Verse 10
Yeah, I'm talking (G major) loners and stoners
And (D major) (G major) sing about to (C major) come back home
And (G major) most likely (D major) too far
gone to (G major) get there (C major)
Yeah, they were (G major) all most likely
(D major) too far gone to (G major) get there
Verse 11
(G major) Jerry Jeff Walker stumbled (D major) up
the stairs on his (C major) way to the stage
With a Mar (D major) tin guitar and a six- pack (G major)
