^DEveryone suspected ole ^AWillie's time was ^Dnear 'Cause ^Glately he'd been ^Dtalkin' 'bout the Lord & leavin' ^Ahere He ^Dsaid if I fight the devil when I ^Adie I know I'll ^Dlose To ^Gsing my soul to ^DHeaven 'for the ^Adevil gets the ^Dnews

Well, ^Deverybody cried when ^Apoor ole Willie ^Ddied And his ^Gold flat top gui- ^Dtar was that all Willie left be- ^Ahind They ^Dtook it to the graveyard when they ^Alaid him down to ^Drest ^GSomeone tuned it ^Dup and answered ^AWillie's last re- ^Dquest

The ^DTavern choir from ^GMarvin's Bar on ^DWine Street gathered ^A'round They be- ^Dlieve Willie's soul passed through ^GHeaven's golden gate Be- ^Dfore his ^Abody touched the ^Dground They sang ?A- ^Dmazing Grace, how ^Gsweet the sound? I ^Dcome to the garden a- ^Alone The ^DTavern choir from ^GMarvin's Bar on ^DWine Street ^Asang ole Willie ^Dhome

There's an ^Dole flat top guitar on the ^Awall behind the ^Dbar And ^Gsomewhere there's a ^Dtwinkle in a far distant ^Astar Now ^Dthat ole Satan raised some Hell when he ^Afinally got the ^Dnews That the ^Gonly soul that ^DWillie left was on a ^Apair of his worn out ^Dshoes

The ^DTavern choir from ^GMarvin's Bar on ^DWine Street gathered ^A'round They be- ^Dlieve Willie's soul passed through ^GHeaven's golden gate Be- ^Dfore his ^Abody touched the ^Dground They sang ?A- ^Dmazing Grace, how ^Gsweet the sound? I ^Dcome to the garden a- ^Alone The ^DTavern choir from ^GMarvin's Bar on ^DWine Street ^Asang ole Willie ^Dhome ^{D7 G}
