INTRO: D (Waylon Jennings:)
DYou'd have thought a king had died DThe way those people cried GInstead of one more broken Dentertainer
(Kris Kristofferson:) It struck those in his trade He could have had it made If he'd only been a little saner (Waylon Jennings:)
AThey traveled far to see him (Kris Kristofferson:) DOh, the humble and the hGigh (Waylon Jennings:) DThey said goodbye as Bmif he were a frF#miend
Chorus: (All:)
ANow somewhere he is smiling DOn those who idolized Ghim DBut would they even rBmecognizeF#m him AIf he came back aDgain?
(Willie Nelson:) He was born of modest means But had outrageous dreams They never let him rest Till he fulfilled them (Johnny Cash:) While he rode that train of song His devils tagged along The whiskey and the pills Just couldn't kill him (Willie Nelson:) He didn't mean to be a rebel (Johnny Cash:) Ah, the real ones never do (Willie Nelson:) They're born apart from ordinary men Chorus... (Waylon Jennings:)
AIt's an old familiar story (Kris Kristofferson:) DBut it's a damn shame none-the-Gless (Willie Nelson:) DThey don't forgive his kind (Johnny Cash:) DTill they lay them down to rAest
Chorus...
