(G major) A few times in your (C major) phone book
(F major) (hello, hello)

Verse 6
(C major) Well, a friend of mine named Steve
Goodman wrote that song
And he (A minor) told me it (G major) was the perfect
country & western song
I wrote him back a letter and I told him it was not
the perfect country & western song
Because he hadn't said (C major) any
thing at all about mama
Or trains, (A minor) (G major) or trucks, or prison,
(C major) or getting' drunk (G major)
Well, he sat down an (C major) d wrote another
verse to the song and he sent it to me
And after reading it I realized that my friend had
written the perfect country & western song
And I felt obliged to include
it on this album
The last verse goes like this here
(A minor) Well, (G major) I was drunk
Verse 7
(C major) the day my
(G major) mom got out of pris (C major) on
And I went to pick her up (G major) in the (C major) rain
But be (F major) fore I could get to the station
in my (C major) pickup (A minor) truck (D major)
She got run over by a damned old (G major) train
Verse 8
And I'll (F major) hang around as
long as you will (C major) let me
And I never minded (G major) standing' in the (C major) rain,
no
But (F major) you don't have to call me darlin',
(C major) darlin'
You never even called (G major) me
Well, I (C major) wonder why you don't call (F major) me
Why (C major) don't you ever call (G major) me by my (F major) name
(C major)
