Hanks Cadillac

                   D             
I'd have kept him up all night, I 
                  G
wouldn't let him close his eyes
               A                   
Made him sing "I Saw the Light" 
                 D     A
'til he sobered up again
                    D              
I'd have kept the coffee strong, oh
                        G
 I could have kept him hangin' on
                A              
If I'd have been in the back of 
 G      D

[Verse]
      Bm7     A              G
Gotta be in Ohio by tomorrow night?
        Bm7        A             G
Hank you gotta get up on that stage
        Bm7        A
You can't let all those good people 
down
    G
No it just ain't right
   Em                             
To book a show and not show up to 
A
play

[Chorus 2]
                   D             
I'd have kept him up all night, I 
                  G
wouldn't let him close his eyes
               A                   
Made him sing "I Saw the Light"

'til he sobered up again
                    D              
I'd have kept the coffee strong, oh

 I could have kept him hangin' on

[Bridge]
      Bm7               G         
When his hands started tremblin' 
       D
and his body turnin' cold
    Bm7           G             D
And death started tuggin' at his 
   A
soul
         Bm7                   
I'd have found one of his songs 
  G          D
playin' on AM radio
     Em             G             
Held him tight and begged him not 
   A
to go
          Em                 G    
I'd have held him tight and begged
            A
 him not to go

[Chorus 3]
                   D             
I'd have kept him up all night, I 
                  G
wouldn't let him close his eyes
               A                   
Made him sing "I Saw the Light" 
                 D     A
'til he sobered up again
                    D              
I'd have kept the coffee strong, oh
                        G
 I could have kept him hangin' on
                A              
If I'd have been in the back of 
 G      D

                     D             
He'd have lived to play more songs,
                           G
 oh I could have kept him hangin' on
                A              
If I'd have been in the back of
