[Intro]
Em G D Em
[Verse]
Em G D
Mirror image of his father before him
Em
The notes flow through his veins
Em G D
Bottom so big, you can still hear a thunder
Em
From the Opry stage
[Verse]
Em G D
Worked his first master when he was just sixteen
Em
The boy could slap a Kay
Em G D
King Edward Specials on his lip and in his pocket
Em
He smoked it every day
[Chorus]
C D C D
Hear the colors, wrapped in flannel
C D Em
Forever wedged in my mind
C D C D
Hear the colors, no he ain't crazy
C D Em
Just run the number, here's the time
[Interlude]
Em G D
[Verse]
Em G
He was a brother, husband and father
D Em
A damn good man, a rambler and a friend
Em G D
So here's a song just to say farewell, rest in peace
Em
Until we pick again
[Chorus]
C D C D
Hear the colors, wrapped in flannel
C D Em
Forever wedged in my mind
C D C D
Hear the colors, no he ain't crazy
C D Em
Just run the number, here's the time
[Bridge]
Em G D
Oooh
Em G D
Oooh
Em G D
Oooh
Em G D
Oooh
[Chorus]
C D C D
Hear the colors, wrapped in flannel
C D Em
Forever wedged in my mind
C D C D
Hear the colors, no he ain't crazy
C D Em
Just run the number, here's the time
C D Em
Just run the number, here's the time
C D Em
Just run the number, here's the time
[Outro]
Em G D Em
Oooh
