[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

Then amazing grace on Sunday and I saw the light

I got songs about running around trains and the hell I raise

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

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
