 [ch]A[/ch]                                [ch]D[/ch]\r\nI bet he's gone to Dallas Rest his soul[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab]    [ch]D[/ch]\r\nNow He was a wino, tried and true[/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch]\r\nDone about everything there is to do[/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]A[/ch]\r\nHe worked on freighters, he worked in bars[/tab]\r\n[tab]                          [ch]D[/ch]                         \r\nHe worked on farms, 'n he worked on cars[/tab]\r\n \r\n[tab]           [ch]D[/ch]\r\nNow it was white port whine, that put that look in his eye[/tab]\r\n[tab]     [ch]G[/ch]\r\nThat grown men get when they need to cry[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]A[/ch]\r\nAnd we sat down on the curb to rest [/tab]\r\n[tab]                                   [ch]D[/ch]\r\nAnd his head just fell down on his chest[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab]         [ch]D[/ch]\r\nHe said \"Every single day it gets[/tab]\r\n[tab]       [ch]G[/ch]\r\njust a little bit harder to handle and yet...\"[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]A[/ch]\r\nThen he lost the thread and his mind got cluttered[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                      [ch]D[/ch]\r\nThe words just rolled off down in the gutter[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab]         [ch]D[/ch]\r\nHe was a elevator man in a cheap hotel[/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]G[/ch]\r\nIn exchange for the rent on a one room cell[/tab]\r\n[tab]         [ch]A[/ch]\r\nAnd he's years old before his time[/tab]\r\n[tab]                                [ch]D[/ch]\r\nNo thanks to the world, and the white Port wine[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab]             [ch]D[/ch]\r\nAnd he said \"Son\", he always called me son[/tab]\r\n[tab]          [ch]G[/ch]\r\nHe said, \"Life for you has just begun\"[/tab]\r\n[tab]            [ch]A[/ch]\r\nAnd then he told me the story that I heard before[/tab]\r\n[tab]                           [ch]D[/ch]\r\nHow he fell in love with a Dallas whore[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab]         [ch]D[/ch]\r\nHe could cut through the years to the very night[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]G[/ch]\r\nThat it all ended, in a whore house fight[/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]A[/ch]\r\nAnd she turned his last proposal down[/tab]\r\n[tab]                    [ch]D[/ch]\r\nIn favor of being a girl about town[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab]              [ch]D[/ch]\r\nNow it's been seventeen years right in line[/tab]\r\n[tab]       [ch]G[/ch]\r\nAnd he ain't been straight none of the time[/tab]\r\n[tab]     [ch]A[/ch]\r\nIt's too many years of fightin' the weather[/tab]\r\n[tab]                           [ch]D[/ch]\r\nAnd too many nights of not being together[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nSo he died...[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab]        [ch]D[/ch]                  [ch]G[/ch]\r\nLet him roll, boys let him roll[/tab]\r\n[tab]  [ch]A[/ch]                                [ch]D[/ch] \r\nI bet he's gone to Dallas Rest his

[ch]G[/ch]             [ch]D[/ch]\r\nwas just a Dallas whore[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab]     [ch]D[/ch]\r\nWhen they went through his personal affects[/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]G[/ch]\r\nIn among the stubs from the welfare checks[/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]A[/ch]\r\nWas a crumblin' picture of a girl in a door[/tab]\r\n[tab]                          [ch]D[/ch]\r\nAn address in Dallas, and nothin' more[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab]         [ch]D[/ch]\r\nWell the welfare people provided the priest[/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]G[/ch]\r\nAnd a couple from the mission down the street[/tab]\r\n[tab]      [ch]A[/ch]\r\nSang Amasing Grace, and nobody cried[/tab]\r\n[tab]                             [ch]D[/ch]\r\n'Cept some lady in black way off to the side[/tab]\r\n\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]\r\nWe all left and
