Intro 1
(E minor) (G major) (C major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
Verse 1
Down (G major) the
dusty road from our Brazos' (C major) home,
we (G major) made our breakaway
We did (C major) n't have much to carry (A major) ,
except each (D major) other along the way
But Reddy (G major) played the (C major) violin
(D major) and (A major) Round Boy played the bass (D major)
And me, (C major) I picked guitar (D major)
and did the singing (G major)
Lord, (E minor) I'm looking back (C major) to them
big band (G major) days (E minor) of mine (G major)
When me (C major) and Red and Round (A major) Boy,
one time (D major) we sounded fine
Old Reddy (G major) played the viol (C major) in
an (D major) d (A major) Round Boy played the bass (D major)
And me, (C major) I picked guitar (D major) and
did the singing (G major)
Now we (E minor) had dreams (G major) of go (C major) ing far,
so (C minor) we (G major) got us a job
Bought a car, (C major) pickin' in tall cotton,
(A major) playin' music (D major) in a bar
But Round Boy, (G major) he took to drinkin'
(D major) and Red went on to oth (A major) er things
And (D major) me, well, I picked (C major) the guitar
and did (D major) the singin' (G major)
Then one night I tried to
(C major) fire the whole band
Why, (G major) them boys was just gettin'
plumb outta hand (C major)
Growin' out (A major) that hair and kick (D major)
in' Watermelon Man
And Red, (G major) he tried to steal the show (D major)
Round (A major) Boy played (D major) every damn
bass (C major) lick that he knowed.
(D major) Well, I couldn't even hear my (G major) guitar
when I was singing.
Lord, (E minor) I'm looking (C major) back to them
big (G major) band (E minor) days of mine
When me (C major) and Red and Round (A major) Boy,
one time we (D major) sounded fine
Oh, Red, (G major) he played the (D major) violin
and (A major) Round Boy played the bass (D major)
And me, (C major) I picked guitar (D major) and
did the singing. (C major) (G major) (C major)
(G major) Now, they don't know (C major) just
exactly what happene (G major) d yet,
but I'm sure it's something that
they (C major) won't soon forget. (A major)
The way (D major) that our little band
got busted up back in Wichita, (G major)
well, Round (D major) Boy,
he found him a mother (A major) -in -law.
Fred (D major) got in some trouble with (C major) the law.
I (D major) wonder who called the sheriff
(G major) and did the singing.
(D major) Lord, (E minor) I'm looking back (G major) (C major) to them
big band (G major) days (E minor) of mine, (G major)
(E minor) when (C major) me and Red and Round (A major) Boy,
one time we (D major) sounded fine
cause (G major) Reddy played the violin (D major)
and (A major) Round Boy played the bass (D major) and me
(C major) I picked guitar (D major) and did the singing (G major) (E minor)
(G major) Lord I'm looking back (C major) to them
big band (E minor) days (G major) of mine
when (C major) me and Red and Round (A major) Boy
one time we (D major) sounded fine
cause Reddy (G major) played the viol (D major) in
Round Boy (A major) played the bass (D major) and me
(C major) I picked guitar (D major) and
did the singing (G major) (G major)
