Biografía:
James McMurtry, born March 18, 1962, Fort Worth, Texas, is an American rock and folk-rock/americana singer, songwriter, guitarist, bandleader and occasional actor (Daisy Miller, Lonesome Dove). He performs with veteran bandmates and rhythm section The Heartless Bastards.
His father, novelist Larry McMurtry, gave him his first guitar at age seven. His mother, an English professor, taught him how to play it: "My mother taught me three chords and the rest I just stole as I went along. I learned everything by ear or by watching people."

Don't Waste Away - James McMurtry
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>From "Candyland"
Transcribed by John Kean.
Capo 2nd fret (or just over strings 1-5).
INTRO:
D/F# G A11 (x4)
VERSE 1:
D/F# G A11
Is that smile for me
D/F# G A11
Or did you come by it honestly
D/F# G A11
Can I show you around
D/F# G A11
Can I help you tear your fences down
G D/F#
Cos' I know you foster few illusions
A11 D/F#
You suffer no fools
G D/F# A11
And you don't leave much to chance
G D/F#
But you're out past the breakers
A11 D/F#
And you're drifting fast
G A11
I can see it at a glance
CHORUS:
G D A11 D
You've been a long time locked inside
G D A11 D
A long time on a lonely ride
G D A11 D
Prisoner of wisdom, prisoner of pride
G D/F# A11
Don't just waste away
G D/F# A11
Don't just waste away
BRIDGE (as for intro)
VERSE 2:
Is that smile for me
Have you kept it hidden consciously
Like an old-time movie queen
Always noticed, rarely seen
I've got no answers
No magic cures
And I've got no plans
But I know the darkness
That haunts your eyes
And I know those trembling hands
CHORUS
SOLO:
D/F# G A11
D/F# G A11
