CAPO 2nd Fret
[INTRO]
D
[CHORUS]
DI know you like a brother, and I know you as well
DThere's somethings we could talk about, some A7things we'll never tell
GA few things in partiDcular, Gare meant for Dsolitude
DOh I could write a A7book about Dyou, (now listen to this)
(Waylon):
ABig Betty wore a lot of makeup, didn't she sweat a lot
AThe mabilene ran like a river, whenever she got hot
GLast time I saw DBetty, as Gbest as I can Drecall
GYou were ridin' her Dpiggyback A7down that motel hall (now wait a minute that ain't it)
(Willie):
GThat's not the way I Dremember it, Gyou're lyin' like a rug on the Dfloor
GThe only Betty that DI can remember I A7remember was Dyours (sure)
And Asince you brought up the subject, let's talk about your taste in art
The Awindows and walls and the ceilings and floors, you mighta got a little too dark
And there's a Gmotel out in DFresno, Gwhere neither one of us can go Dback
GYou had a thing about Dyellow and greens so you painted the whole room A7black
(Waylon):
GThat ain't the way I Dremember it, Gseems like I had a little Dhelp
GYou weren't along jDust for the ride, A7you hit a few strokes Dyourself, yeah
[CHORUS]
DI know you like a brother, and I know you as well
DThere's somethings we could talk about, some A7things we'll never tell
GA few things in partiDcular, Gare meant for Dsolitude
DOh I could write a A7book about Dyou,
(But you don't have to worry Waylon I ain't gonna Gdo it) (I hope not!)
DI could write a A7book about Dyou
