Misc Unsigned Bands - Tom t hall - the year that clayton delaney died

I re^Dbmember the year that ^AbClayton Delaney ^Dbdied. They ^Gbsaid for the last two weeks that he suffered and ^Dbcried. It ^Gbmade a big impression on me, although I was a barefoot ^Dbkid. They said he got religion at the ^Abend and I'm glad that he ^Dbdid.

^DbClayton was the best guitar ^Abpicker in our ^Dbtown. I ^Gbthought he was a hero and I used to follow Clayton a^Dbround. I ^Gboften wondered why Clayton, who seemed so good to ^Dbme, never took his ^Dbmguitar and ^Abmade it down in Tenn-o-^Dbsee.

Well, ^DbDaddy said he drank a lot, but ^AbI could never under^Dbstand. I ^Gbknew he used to pick up in Ohio with a five-piece ^Dbband. ^GbClayton used to ^Dbtell me, ^Gbson, you better put that old guitar a^Dbway. ^DbThere ain't no money in it, it'll ^Ablead you to an early ^Dbgrave.

I ^Dbguess if I'd admit it, ^AbClayton taught me how to drink ^Dbbooze. I can ^Gbsee him half-^Dbstoned, a-^Gbpickin' out the Lovesick ^DbBlues. When ^GbClayton died I ^Dbmade him a ^Gbpromise, I was gonna carry on some^Dbhow. I'd give a hundred dollars if ^Abhe could only see me ^Dbnow.

I re^Dbmember the year that ^AbClayton Delaney ^Dbdied. No^Gbbody ever knew it, but I went out in the woods and I ^Dbcried. ^DbWell, I know there's a ^Gblotta big preachers that know a lot more than I ^Dbdo. But it could be that the Good Lord ^Ablikes a little pickin', ^Dbtoo. Yeah, I re^Dbmember the year that ^AbClayton Delaney ^Dbdied.
