(now when you play the D# and F He plays power chords believe me it makes the difference)
CI was thumbin' back from Montgomery D#
D#with a guitar on my back
FWhen a stranger pulled up beside me in an anCtique Cadillac.
CWell, he was dressed like 1950, half dD#runk and hallow eyed
FIts a long walk to Nashville, would you like a rCide, son.
CHe sat down in the front seat, and tuD#rned on the radio
and them sFad old songs comin' outta them speakers was soClid country gold.
TChen I noticed the stranger was ghost white pale when he asD#ked me for a light.
And kFnew there was somethin' strange about this rCide.
CHORUS: (Same thing here power chords)
He said: MiA#ster can you make folks cFry when you play and sCang.
CCan you pay your dues, can you moan the blues
Can you bGend them guitar strangs.
He said: BA#oy, can you make folks fFeel what you feel inCside,
Cause if your bA#ig star bound let me wFarn you its a long hard rCide.
2.
Well, he cried just south of Nashville, and he turned that car around.
he said: (spoken) this is where you get off, boy
cause I'm going back to Alabam'.
I stepped out of that ole Cadillac and I said Mister, many thanks.
he said you don't have to call me mister, Mister.
The whole world calls me Hank.
repeat Chorus once or heck if you want to put an awesome solo in here just play
around the blues scale in C!
