[VERSE 1]
            D                      
Well I'm a kid with a guitar trying
    G    A                D
 to play Nuages when they ask.
G               A#         D
Where does your style come from?
D                            
I know what you mean, 'cause I 
G            D
learned to sing
G                 A            D
Listening to Blue Yodel number 1.
   Bm                       F#m   
We love Hank and Lefty, Bob Wills,
                         G
 Ernest Tubbs and Johnny Cash,
       Em                          
but if we had to pinpoint the start
                       A
 of who we are we'd go back.

[CHORUS]
   G          D       A         
To Django and Jimmie, Paris and 
D
Mississippi.
  G             D           A
A young singing brakeman, a jazz 
playing gypsy.

      G              D      F#   
There might not have been a Merle
      G
 or a Willie,
   Em      A          D
if not for Django and Jimmie.

[VERSE 2]
            D             G      
Through the 20's and 30's Jimmie 
A                   D
sang his way to the top,
G                A#     D
despite of those old TB blues.
D                  G              
Django was a star, he burned up a 
D
guitar
G                   A         D
with just two good fingers to use.
          Bm                F#m   
You can't turn back time or put 
               G
more sand in the glass,
    Em                             
but sometimes at night, I close my 
            A
eyes and go back...

[CHORUS]
   G          D       A         
To Django and Jimmie, Paris and 
D
Mississippi.
  G             D           A
A young singing brakeman, a jazz 
playing gypsy.
      G              D      F#   
There might not have been a Merle
      G
 or a Willie,
   Em      A          D
if not for Django and Jimmie.

      G              D      F#   
There might not have been a Merle
      G

   Em      A          D
if not for Django and Jimmie.
