OK, this is the way I play "You Never Even Call Me By My Name", written by Steve Goodman and embellished by D.A.C. ------------------------------------- You Never Even Call Me By My Name - Steve Goodman (and David Allen Coe?!?)
It was Fall that I could Gdo to keep from Fcryin' SomeFtimes it seems so Guseless to reFmain FYou don't have to Gcall me darlin',F darAmlin' You Fnever even Gcall me by my Fname F
FYou don't have to Gcall me Waylon FJennings And Fyou don't have to Gcall me Charlie FPride And Fyou don't have to Gcall me Merle FHaggard...anyAmmore D7 Even though you're on my fightin' Gside
Chorus:
And I'll Fhang around as long as you will Flet me 'Cause I Fnever minded Gstandin' in the Frain FYou don't have to Gcall me Darlin',F DarAmlin' But you Fnever even Gcall me by my Fname F
Well I've Fseen my name a Gfew times in your Fphone book And I've Fseen it on the Gsigns where I've Fplayed But the Fonly time I Gknow I'll Fhear "David AAmllen Coe" Is when D7Jesus has his final judgement Gday
Chorus: So I'll hang around... Talk: "Well, a friend of mine, Steve Goodman, wrote this song and he said it was the perfect country and western song. I wrote him back a letter and told him that it was not the perfect country-western song because he hadn't said anything at all about Momma, or trains, or trucks, or prison, or getting drunk. Well, he sat down and wrote another verse to the song and he sent it to me and, after reading it, I realized that my friend had written the perfect country-western song, and I felt obliged to include it on this album. The last verse goes like this here:"
Well I was Fdrunk the day my GMomma got out of Fprison And I Fwent to pick her Gup in the Frain But Fbefore I could Gget to the station in my Fpickup Amtruck My D7Momma, she got run over by a damned old Gtrain
Chorus:
So I'll Fhang around just as Glong as you will Flet me 'Cause I Fnever minded Gstanding in the Frain FYou don't have to Gcall me darlin',F darAmlin' But you Fnever even Gcall me... I Fwonder why you don't Amcall me... Why Fdon't you even Gcall me by my Fname? F -------------------------
