         G 
He had a Martin I had a Fender 
        C 
We were thirteen years of age 
G 
Out back in the tool shed 
        D 
We were searching for the sound 
G 
Every day all through the summer 
     C 
We'd rock n roll n rage 
        G 
All the neighbors kept complaining 
       D               G 
But it never slowed us down 
        C 
We sang three verses of Dixie 
G 
Can't Get No Satisfaction 
C 
Rainy Day Woman and 
  G               D 
A Bad Moon On The Rise 
C             G 
Try A Little Tenderness 
         D        C 
A Whiter Shade Of Pale 
Am 
Turn Turn Turn 
    Em 
For What It's Worth 
C        D     G    D  C 
And Long Black Veil 
G 
We moved out to California 
C 
Shooting for the stars 
G 
The biggest thing since Elvis 
D 
Nothing could go wrong 
         G 
But they took us for all our money 
    C 
And everything else we owned 
      G 
So we got ourselves some whiskey 
       D                  G 
And we drank it all night long 
        C 
We sang three verses of Dixie 
G 
Can't Get No Satisfaction 
C 
Rainy Day Woman and 
  G               D 
A Bad Moon On The Rise 
C             G 
Try A Little Tenderness 
         D        C 
A Whiter Shade Of Pale 
Am 
Turn Turn Turn 
    Em 
For What It's Worth 
C        D     G    D  C 
And Long Black Veil 

Em                    C 
Oh he never quite got over it 
       G                   D 
And we went our separate ways 
Em               C 
He traded in his music 
            G                   D 
For cocaine nights and reckless days 
      C                G 
Still I knew he always wanted 
                         C 
To make one last journey home 
G 
Near a small white church in the valley 
C 
Beneath a wooden ridge 
G                          D 
Patiently we waited on the cold Alabama ground 
        G 
And the preacher he started preachin 
          C 
About our life and about out times 
    G 
The sun was slowly sinkin 
       D            G 
As we laid his body down 
            C 
And we sang three verses of Dixie 
       G 
What A Friend We Have In Jesus 
C 
Walk In The Garden and 
G               D 
The  Old Rugged Cross 
C             G 
Try A Little Tenderness 
         D         C 
A Whiter Shade Of Pale 
Am 
Turn Turn Turn 
    Em 
For What It's Worth 
    C    D     G 
And Long Black Veil
