Here I Come by John Baumann
Here I Come
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
C G | C G | C G | D
[Verse 1]
C G C G
When I was a young boy my father asked what I wanna be
C G D
I said I wanna be a flatlander, Jimmie Dale, Butch, or Ely
C G C G
I wanna play guitar and sing, and make the people stomp the floor
C G
I wanna write the best of the best
D
And be a high plains troubadour
[Verse 2]
C G C G
He bought a beat up Takamine for me on my 14th birthday
C G D
With a couple of Terry Allen tapes I played to everyday
C G C G
I started writing songs that sucked on the surface and cliches
C G D
I must have wrote two hundred bad ones before a good one came my way
[Chorus]
C D
Now I'm damn near almost thirty with this trailer to load
G Em
My name is misspelled on the marquee 500 miles down the road
C D
My skin is so much thicker now that I've been in this shit
G Em
It's too soon for accolades and it's too late to quit
C D
So here I aaaaaaaam
C
And here I come
[Interlude]
C G | C G | C G | D
[Verse 3]
C G C G
I've never been much of anything but tying words to a string
C G D
Picking with two fingers, using my ears to sing
C G C G
Looking up at pictures of John T's and Gruene Hall
C G D
And paying my respects to the great ones on the wall
[Verse 4]
C G C G
I think back on afternoons when this was all just a dream
C G D
Still got big ambitions and a head full of steam
C G C G
As I look out past the curtain and out on to the floor
C G D
I'm one day closer to a high plains troubadour
[Chorus]
C D
Now I'm damn near almost thirty with this trailer to load
G Em
My name is misspelled on the marquee 500 miles down the road
C D
My skin is so much thicker now that I've been in this shit
G Em
It's too soon for accolades and it's too late to quit
C D
So here I aaaaaaaam
C
And here I come
[Interlude]
C G | C G | C G | D
[Outro]
C D
So here I aaaaaaaam
C G C G D
And here I come
