G
Forty miles out of Nashville
C
I had to stop the car
G
We've been driving all night long
D
And I didn't know where we were
G
Whatever I took to stay awake
C
It just gave me the chills
G D G
And she was going on about Mrs. Hank Williams
[Verse 2]
G
Well we got to Cincinnati
C
I had to put her on a plane
G
She was fightin' with the band
D
And it was her or it was them
G
And they called in the cops
C
Cause we were fightin' and yellin'
G
And they were looking at her
D G
Like she might be Mrs. Hank Williams
[Chorus]
C G
Mrs. Hank Williams crying all night long
C G D
Mrs. Hank Williams waiting up to dawn
G
When they talk about her
C
She's one in a million
G
And when they introduce her she's
D G
Mrs. Hank Williams
G C D G
[Verse 3]
G
She doesn't watch the show
C
She just stays in the car
G
And watches the young girls
D
Outside the stage door
G
And they're there to tell you how much
C
They'd be ready & willin'
G
To take the place anyway
D G
Of Mrs. Hank Williams
[Chorus]
C G
Mrs. Hank Williams crying all night long
C G D
Mrs. Hank Williams waiting up to dawn
G
When they talk about her
C
She's one in a million
G
And when they introduce her she's
D G
Mrs. Hank Williams
