DO SOL
It was all that I could do
DO
to keep from cryin'
FA DO
sometimes it seems so useless to remain
FA DO
You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
SOL DO
You never even call me by my name.
DO SOL DO
You don't have to call me Waylon Jennings
DO SOL DO
And you don't have to call me Charlie Pride.
FA DO LAm
You don't have to call me Merle Haggard, anymore.
RE SOL
Even though your on my fightin' side.
CHORUS
FA DO
And I'll hang around as long as you will let me
SOL
And I never minded standin' in the rain.
FA DO
You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
SOL DO
You never even call me by my name.
I've heard my name a few times in your phone book
I've seen it on signs where I've laid
But the only time I know, I'll hear David Allan Coe
Is when Jesus has his final judgement day.
CHORUS
(enter now the Steve Goodman story. The first half is played with a background
of C and G. Just before Steve writes back with the perfect Country and
Western song, it is just a straight background C chord.
Well, I was drunk the day my Mom got outta prison.
And I went to pick her up in the rain.
But, before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
She got runned over by a damned old train.
CHORUS
So I'll hang around as long as you will let me
And I never minded standin' in the rain. No,
You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'
DO SOL FA DO
You never even call me, I wonder why you don't call me
FA DO SOL DO FA DO
Why don't you ever call me by my name.
