verse 1
Am G C F E
I saw the ghost of Hank Williams this mornin’
Am
On sixteenth avenue
Am G C F E
Selling homeless papers on the corner for a dollar
Am
Beneath the statue of The Muse
C G/B Am G F G
And I said, “Hank, have you come back to haunt or save?”
C G/B Am G F
He said, “I been rolling, rolling, rolling in my grave.
E Am
I’m tired of rolling in my grave.”
verse 2
Am G C F E
He said, “Sometimes I’ll walk along these streets alone for hours
Am
With a guitar in my hand
G C F E
I rattle doors and press my face against the windows
Am
Nobody lets me in.”
C G/B Am G F G
And I said, “Hank, have you come back to haunt or save?”
C G/B Am G F
He said, “I been rolling, rolling, rolling in my grave.
E Am
I’m tired of rolling in my grave.”
Bridge
C G/B Am G
He said, “Son, it looks like you’ve worn the soles clear out your boots.
F C G/B
Trying to walk that long, hard road so far from your roots,
Am G F C
But don’t you ever be ashamed of a lonesome song with three chords and the truth.”
Dm G
And I paid him for the paper with some change
Dm C G
And he shook my hand as it began to rain
C G/B Am G F G
And I said, “Hank, have you come back to haunt or save?”
C G/B Am G F
He said, “I been rolling, rolling, rolling in my grave.
E Am
I’m tired of rolling in my grave.”
