of the favorite memories of my boyhood days in Arkansas[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                                           [ch]A[/ch]\r\nAre scattered around an old wood stove at a place we call John's[/tab]\r\n\r\nIt was just an old tar paper shack\r\n[tab]                                 [ch]E[/ch]\r\nWith a pump out front and some junk out back[/tab]\r\n\r\nBut inside there was always a hot cup of coffee\r\n[tab]                                       [ch]A[/ch]\r\nAnd a warm place around the fire for anyone[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                                        [ch]E[/ch]\r\nJohn pumped gas for a living and he fixed tires on the side[/tab]\r\n\r\nAnd I guess old John could fix most anything\r\n[tab]                            [ch]A[/ch]\r\nIf you didn't push it he'd try[/tab]\r\n\r\nAnd he gave me my first charge account for some gas\r\n[tab]       [ch]E[/ch]\r\nAnd financed my first date[/tab]\r\n\r\nEven fixed my old radio just in case I got lucky\r\n[tab]                                [ch]A[/ch]\r\nAnd wanted to park down by the lake[/tab]\r\n\r\n[Chorus]\r\n[tab]      [ch]D[/ch]                                         \r\nAnd among the

night[/tab]\r\n\r\nNobody would ever say a word, not even during Martha White\r\n[tab]                                                 [ch]E[/ch]\r\nAnd I was awfully young back then, but still I knew just why[/tab]\r\n\r\nThat John closed the shop the whole day\r\n[tab]                             [ch]A[/ch]\r\nWhen we heard that Hank had died[/tab]\r\n\r\nThere was something else special about
