[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G C G C
Me and Willie played in a country band
G D
Seven long years together playing those one-night stands
G C G
We used to say the booze and bars were going to wear him out
C G D
"Hold On", a song he wrote will tear your heart right out
[Verse 2]
G C G
We traveled the northern route from the Great Lakes to Montreal
C G D
Hitting all the honky tonks I bet we played them all
G C G
Willie played to ease his soul and he drank to ease his mind
C G D
I never understood how he played so good drinking himself half-blind
[Chorus]
D C D Em C
And you wouldn't think a man so weak could be so strong
Am Em D
Take a crowd of rowdy drunks and hush them with a song
G C D Em C
And I'd rather be singing my heart out in a dark and dingy bar
G D
Hitting those high notes with Willie's sad guitar
G C D Em C
And I'd rather be singing a blues song singing sweet and high
G D G G
Willie standing right by my side playing country slide
[Verse 3]
G C G
Me and Willie watched a lot of dreams die young
C G D
Plans we made how quick they fade fumbling one by one
G C G
Willie never let it bother him and if he did it didn't show
C G D
You know he had a way of letting go and making the blue turn gold
[Chorus]
D C D Em C
And you wouldn't think a man so weak could be so strong
Am D Em D
Take the blues right out of you and put them in a song
G C D Em C
And I'd rather be singing my heart out in a dark and dingy bar
G D
Hitting those high notes with Willie's sad guitar
G C D Em C
And I'd rather be singing a blues song, singing sweet and high
G D G
Willie standing right by my side playing country slide
[Instrumental]
G C D Em C G D G
[Verse 4]
G C G
I left Willie in a bar in Mariett
C G D
Couldn't stand to watch the man I love drink himself to death
G C G
And I'm working in Ottawa and I'm doing well, I guess
C G D
The good life don't look so good from behind a desk
[Reprise]
G C D Em C
I'd rather be singing my heart out in a dark and dingy bar
G D
Hitting those high notes with Willie's sad guitar
G C D Em C
And I'd rather be singing a blues song singing sweet and high
G D G C
Willie standing right by my side playing country slide
