First Time I Saw Waylon

G                                 
I shoplifted an 8-track tape from 
C                       G
J.C. Penny's when I was young
One called "The Silver Tongued 
                              D
Devil" by the great Kristofferson
G                          C     
I caught Bob Dylan on that Johnny
         G
 Cash TV show
Turned me on to Willie Nelson, Lord,
      D                G
 with nowheres left to go

          G                C
'Til that first time I saw Waylon
       G                 
At Memorial Auditorium in 
                    D
Chattanooga Tennessee
        G                C
Oh that first time I saw Waylon
G                            D   
Elvis and the Beatles didn't mean
                 G
 a damn thing to me

      C
Oh my uncle saw that look in my eye
          G
Said that boy will never work 
another day in his life
     C                         
That Telecaster chicken-pickin' 
                     G
rhythm just sent me sailin'

        G                C
Oh that first time I saw Waylon
G                             D
Singin' them Billy Joe Shaver songs
          G                 C
Lord that first time I saw Waylon
G            D               G
They turned around and I was gone

Lord that first time I saw Waylon
     G                             
That stringy hair and barely 
  D
hangin' on
          G                C
Lord that first time I saw Waylon
G              D                G
Then I turned around and he was gone
     C       G    C
Long gone
