Guitars That Won't Stay In Tune
(Willie):
        WEell I grew up lean and hungry
        I worked hard for my money
        Said IA’m gonna live my lB7ife the way I pElease
        I spent some time on the road of life
        Saw an angel once and the devil twice
        I caAme across some tB7hings that I don't nEeed
[CHORUS]
        LEike a cAold hearted wEoman, wAhiskey in my wEater
        AC#mnd only one wB7ay out of a motel rEoom
        PaAyments on the CEadillac, aAnd too many qEuestions
        AC#mnd old guitars that jB7ust won't stay in tEune
(Waylon):
        YEou know there's good and bad breaks
        EYou learn from your mistakes
        IAt's all in how you hB7andle them do's and dEon'ts
        EA hillbilly boy is hard to convince
        Wild and stubborn and not much sense
        BAut I’ve got enough to kB7now what I don't wEant
[CHORUS]

Guitars That Won't Stay In Tune

(Willie):

Well I grew up lean and hungry

I worked hard for my money

A B7 E

Said I’m gonna live my life the way I please

I spent some time on the road of life

Saw an angel once and the devil twice

A B7 E

I came across some things that I don't need

[CHORUS]

E A E A E

Like a cold hearted woman, whiskey in my water

C#m B7 E

And only one way out of a motel room

A E A E

Payments on the Cadillac, and too many questions

C#m B7 E

And old guitars that just won't stay in tune

(Waylon):

You know there's good and bad breaks

You learn from your mistakes

A B7 E

It's all in how you handle them do's and don'ts

A hillbilly boy is hard to convince

Wild and stubborn and not much sense

A B7 E

But I’ve got enough to know what I don't want

[CHORUS]

E A E A E

Like a cold hearted woman, whiskey in my water

C#m B7 E

And only one way out of a motel room

A E A E

Payments on the Cadillac, and too many questions

C#m B7 E

And old guitars that just won't stay in tune

C#m B7 E

And old guitars that just won't stay in tune
