CAPO 2nd Fret
[INTRO]
D
[CHORUS]
D
I know you like a brother, and I know you as well
D A7
There's somethings we could talk about, some things we'll never tell
G D G D
A few things in particular, are meant for solitude
D A7 D
Oh I could write a book about you, (now listen to this)
(Waylon):
A
Big Betty wore a lot of makeup, didn't she sweat a lot
A
The mabilene ran like a river, whenever she got hot
G D G D
Last time I saw Betty, as best as I can recall
G D A7
You were ridin' her piggyback down that motel hall (now wait a minute that ain't it)
(Willie):
G D G D
That's not the way I remember it, you're lyin' like a rug on the floor
G D A7 D
The only Betty that I can remember I remember was yours (sure)
A
And since you brought up the subject, let's talk about your taste in art
A
The windows and walls and the ceilings and floors, you mighta got a little too dark
G D G D
And there's a motel out in Fresno, where neither one of us can go back
G D A7
You had a thing about yellow and greens so you painted the whole room black
(Waylon):
G D G D
That ain't the way I remember it, seems like I had a little help
G D A7 D
You weren't along just for the ride, you hit a few strokes yourself, yeah
[CHORUS]
D
I know you like a brother, and I know you as well
D A7
There's somethings we could talk about, some things we'll never tell
G D G D
A few things in particular, are meant for solitude
D A7 D
Oh I could write a book about you,
G
(But you don't have to worry Waylon I ain't gonna do it) (I hope not!)
D A7 D
I could write a book about you
