[Verse 1]
G                          C
I was born under an outlaw moon
     G                       D
To a steel guitar crying the blues
       G
I been living fast loving hard
        C
And I'm starting to show my age
             G                 D                    G
I don't care if what I'm doing leads me to an early grave

[Chorus]
       C                                G
When I die don't you hang your head and cry
        A                              A7             D
I'll be heading for that big ol' honky tonk up in the sky
         C                          G
Let that lonesome whistle moan mama tried
C         G                    D                    G
   Put my body in a boxcar and send me to the other side

[Verse 2]
G                                             C
I been singing Waymore's Blues every Saturday night
      G                                    D
Then amazing grace on Sunday and I saw the light
      G                          C
I got songs about running around trains and the hell I raise
        G                     D7              G
I got a Haggard heart but the ragged soul's o-k

[Chorus]
       C                                G
When I die don't you hang your head and cry
        A                              A7             D
I'll be heading for that big ol' honky tonk up in the sky
         C                          G
Let that lonesome whistle moan mama tried
C         G                    D                    G
   Put my body in a boxcar and send me to the other side

       C                                G

I'll be heading for that big ol' honky tonk up in the sky
         C                          G
Let that lonesome whistle moan mama tried
C7        G                    D                    G
   Put my body in a boxcar and send me to the other side

[Outro]
                            D                    G
Put my body in a boxcar and send me to the other side
                            D                    G    C7 D G
Put my body in a boxcar and send it to the Texas line
