Waylon Jennings - I could write a book about you

^DI know you like a brother, and I know you as well ^DThere's somethings we could talk about, some th^A7ings we'll never tell ^GA few things in pa^Drticular, ^Gare meant for so^Dlitude ^DOh I could write a ^A7book about ^Dyou, (now listen to this)

^ABig Betty wore a lot of makeup, didn't she swear a lot ^AThe mabilene ran like a river whenever she got hot ^GLast time I saw ^DBetty, ^Gas best as I can ^Drecall ^GYou were ridin' her ^Dpiggyback ^A7down that motel hall (now wait a minute that ain't it)

^GThat's not the way I ^Dremember it, you're ^Glyin' like a rug on the ^Dfloor ^{G D A7 D} sure The only Betty that I can remember I remember was yours And ^Asince you brought up the subject, let's talk about your taste in art The ^Awindows and walls and the ceilings and floors, you mighta got a little too dark And there's a ^Gmotel out in ^DFresno, where ^Gneither one of us can go ^Dback ^GYou had a thing about y^Dellow and greens so you ^A7painted the whole room black

^GThat ain't the way I ^Dremember it, ^Gseems like I had a little ^Dhelp ^GYou weren't along ^Djust for the ride, ^A7you hit a few strokes ^Dyourself, yeah

^DI know you like a brother, and I know you as well ^DThere's somethings we could talk about, some th^A7ings we'd never tell ^GA few things in ^Dparticular, ^Gare meant soli^Dtude ^DI could write a ^A7book about ^Dyou (But you don't have to worry Waylon I ain't gonna ^Gdo it) (I hope not!) ^DI could write a ^A7book about ^Dyou
