  			Chorus 
          E    B                  E                              
Iâ've done everything Hank did but die 

       E                       B 
And it ainâ't because I did not try. 

E                       A              E 
Sometimes it amazes me, that I got out alive 

                 E    B                  E                           
â'Cause Iâ've done everything Hank did but die. 


E                     B             E 
Old Hank was my hero, since I was a kid. 

E                               B 
And I grew up re-livinâ' all the crazy things he did. 

E 
Whiskey drinkinâ', Honky Tonk singinâ',  

A               E 
Stayinâ' out all night,  

E                               B             E 
Livinâ' hard and dyinâ' young was just a way of life. 


Chorus 
          E    B                  E     
Iâ've done everything Hank did but die 

       E                       B 
And it ainâ't because I did not try. 

E                       A              E 
Sometimes it amazes me, that I got out alive 

                 E    B                  E 
â'Cause Iâ've done everything Hank did but die. 

E                                B                  E 
I didnâ't know how dangerous that lost highway could be 

E                                 B 
â'Til one too many whiskey binges, brought me to my knees 

E 
I saw the light that very night,  

    A                 E 
Old Hank is still the king. 

E                                    B              E 
but I found out that I donâ't have to kill myself to sing 


Chorus 
          E    B                  E 
Iâ've done everything Hank did but die 

       E                       B 
And it ainâ't because I did not try. 

E                       A              E 
Sometimes it amazes me, that I got out alive 

                 E    B                  E 
â'Cause Iâ've done everything Hank did but die. 



E                       A              E 
Sometimes it amazes me, that I got out alive 

                 E    B                  E 
â'Cause Iâ've done everything Hank did but die.
