Intro: C Dm C Dm
C F G C
Well, I'm a kid with a guitar trying to play nuages when they ask
F Ab C
Where does your style come from
C F C
I know what you mean 'cause I learned to sing
F G C
Listening to blue yodel number one
Am Em F
We love Hank and Lefty, Bob Wills, Ernest Tubb and Johnny Cash
Dm G
But if we had to pin point the star of who we are we'd go back
F C G C
To Django and Jimmie Paris Mississippi
F C G
A young singing brakeman, a jazz playing gypsy
F C E F
There might not have been a Merle or a Willie
Dm G C Dm C Dm
If not for Django and Jimmie
C F G C
Through the twenties and thirties Jimmie sang his way to the top
F Ab C
In spite of those old TB blues
C F C
Django was a star, he burned up a guitar
F G C
With just two good fingers to use
Am Em F
You can't turn back time or put more sand in the glass
Dm G
But sometimes at night, I close my eyes and go back
Chorus
