[Intro]
F Bb F Bb
[Verse]
F Bb
He had a Martin I had a Fender, we were thirteen years of age
F C
Out back in the tool shed, we were searchin? for the same
F Bb
Everyday all through that summer, we?d rock n roll and rage
F C F
All the neighbors kept complainin?, but it never slowed us down.
[Chorus]
Bb F Bb
We sang Three Verses of Dixie, Can?t Get No Satisfaction
F C
Rainy Women Numbers 12 and 35
Bb F Bb
Try A Little Tenderness, A Whiter Shape Of Pale
G F Bb C F
Turn Turn Turn, For What It?s Worth, Long Black Veil.
Bb F Bb
F Bb
Moved out to California, shootin? for the stars
F C
The biggest thing since Elvis, nothin? could go wrong
F Bb
But they took us for all our money, and everything else we owned
F C F
So we got ourselves some whiskey, and we drank it all night long.
[Chorus 2]
Bb F Bb
We sang Three Verses of Dixie, Can?t Get No Satisfaction
F C
Rainy Women, and A Bad Moon On The Rise
Bb F Bb
Try A Little Tenderness, A Whiter Shape Of Pale

Turn Turn Turn, For What It?s Worth, Long Black Veil.

D Bb F C D
Oh we never quite got over it, we when out separate ways
Bb F C
He traded in his music for cocaine nights, and reckless days
Bb F C Bb
Still I knew he always wanted, to make one last journey home.
F Bb F
Near a small white church in the valley, beneath a wooden bridge
C
Patiently we waited, on that cold Alabama rain
F Bb
Then the preacher started preachin?, about lives and about our times
F C F
The sun was slowly sinkin?, as we laid his body down.
[Chorus 3]
Bb F Bb
We sang Three Verses of Dixie, What a Friend We Have In Jesus
F C
Walkin? In The Garden, and The Old Rugged Cross
Bb F Bb
Try A Little Tenderness, A Whiter Shape Of Pale
G F Bb C F Bb
Turn Turn Turn, For What It?s Worth, Long Black Veil.
[Outro]
F Bb
We sang Long Black Veil
F Bb F Bb F Bb F Bb F Bb
We sang Long Black Veil.
