Here is the tab to one of Hank's early songs. It doesn't include any of the instrumentals, but you can
probably figure those out as they just use the same chords as the rest of the song: C, Am, and G

Capo on 2
C
Baby close your eyes
and hear the words I say
Am
Oh I realize
That you're in a lot of pain
G
and I apologize
I never wanted it this way,
C G
Please...don't cry
C
Baby I sold your dog on eBay
Am
We both knew that we had bills to pay
G C
It was either him or my PlayStation 2
G C
which doesn't even eat food
G C G
and will never ever pee on the duvet
C
One day I came home
and that dog had escaped
Am
he forsook his bone
and instead he ate
G
everything I own
from the couch to the drapes
C G
I called you on the phone
C
And said "I'm selling him on eBay
Am
We both know that we've got bills to pay
G C
He peed on season 2 of Deep Space 9
G C
That's crossing the line
G C G
I'm listing the auction today"
C G
I put him in a box with some Styrofoam peanuts
C
a bag of kibble and a couple of milk bones
C G
the guy online paid for overnight shipping
C G C
so the very next day he was in Buffalo
C G C
Oh, please don't cry,
G C
Oh, please don't cry,
G C
Baby, please don't cry,
G
Goddammit, stop crying.
C
He is an ugly dog
like a ball of walking fuzz
Am
and he poops constantly
more than any other dog does
G
but we won't have to worry
about it anymore because
C G
please listen to me
C
Yeah I sold him on eBay
Am
we both knew that we had bills to pay
G C
I got a hundred fifty dollars for
G C
that mutt that peed all over my floor
G C G
and I know they'll be hell to pay
C
Yeah we had bills to pay
Am
so I sold her dog on eBay
G C
I told her "you have got to understand it
G C
yeah, he could sit
G C G
but he absolutely couldn't stay.
C G
yeah, he could sit
C G C
but he absolutely couldn't stay."
