Hank Williams Jr. ? Hank
F Bb C
They say FHank was a mighty heavy Cdrinker, I don?t Fknow
They say Hank was a mighty heavy thinker, I reckon that?s Cso
All the songs he Fwrote, all the things he said
It didn?t come Bbfrom a light thinker?s Fhead
Some say whiskey, wreaked Hank?s Chealth, but they don?t Fknow.
[Chorus]
They say BbHank sung a real good song, and I?ll say he Fdid
Cause he opened up his heart and he poured out the soul 
That most of the folks always keep Chid (yes he did)
Long as I Flive I?ll never forget, he?s the first Bbsinger that I ever Fmet
They say he?s the greatest one Cyet, I don?t Dmknow
But I Fwouldn?t be surprised at Call if that ain?t Fso.
They tell me FHank he wasn?t much on Clooks, I don?t Fknow
Lord I seen his picture in lots of song books but I still don?t Cknow
They said he was Fweak for the women and wine
And he looked plumb Bbheart-sick most of the Ftime
His songs but goose bumps right on my Cspine that?s all I Fknow.
[Chorus 2]
They say BbHank sung a real good song, and I?ll say he Fdid
Because he opened up his heart and he poured out the soul 
That most of the singers always keep Chid (yes he did)
Long as I Flive I?m gonna regret, I can?t remember Bbhim singin? me to Fbed
They say he?s the greatest one Cyet, I don?t Dmknow
But I Fwouldn?t be surprised at Call if that ain?t Fso. (no I won?t)
I wouldn?t be surprised at Call if this all ain?t Fso. C  F
