  			G                                             C 
Well I made me a record in Nashville not long ago 

    D7                                     G 
And before too long I knew the world would know 

                                             C 
That it was a hit and I’d soon be making the rounds 

          A7                                    D7 
They’d be coming for miles just hear my country sound 

        C                                G              C 
I don’t know you from Adam and if you’re gonna play the jukebox 


G                                            C 
Now things came to pass and I found myself a star 

  D7                                          G 
I never dreamed that I’d ever drop out of the charts 

                                                 C 
So I closed you out and to my own little world I split 

  A7                                             D7 
I know I put you down but Hank please write me a hit 


C 
Help me Hank I’m falling can’t you hear me a calling 

      G                                            C 
Can’t you see I’m sorry that I turned you away old pal 


Help me Hank I’m a falling Paycheck darling is a calling 

     D7                              G 
This little darling really needs you now 


                                                         C 
Well you gave me A-11 and I thought I had a Tiger By The Tail 

    D7                                       G 
But I need another song Hank Cochran without fail 

                                    C 
Write me a letter send me a wire or call 

A7                                              D7 
Cause if you don’t I’m gonna sit right down and bawl 


C 
Help me Hank I’m falling can’t you hear me a calling 

      G                                            C 
Can’t you see I’m sorry that I turned you away old pal 


Help me Hank I’m a falling Paycheck darling is a calling 

     D7                              G 
This little darling really needs you now
