I can't write long - that story brought back 16 year old pains. I have to go cry and play my guitar.

If you ever need chords or tabs for anything let me know - if I don't know it, I'm in a large network of tabbers, and I can usually figure stuff out if I don't know it and can't find it. Hell, a large percentage of my live performances are uncharted territory for me. That's what gets me off.

I saw Mama Tried there:

When I play it I think I use
First thing[D]I remember [G]knowin' was a [D]lonesome whistle [G]blowin'
And a [D]youngun's dream of [G]growing up to [A]ride[A7]
On a [D]freight train leaving [G]town, not [D]knowing where I'm [G]bound
And no [D]one could change my [A]mind, but [A7]Mama tried[D]

One and only rebel child, from a family meek and mild
Mama seemed to know what lay in store
'Spite of all my Sunday learnin', toward the bad I kept on turnin'
'Til Mama couldn't hold me anymore

CHORUS:
[D]And I turned twenty-one in prison doing [G]life without par[D]ole

No [G]one could steer me [D]right, but Mama [D7]tried, Mama tried[A7]
Mama [D]tried to raise me better, but her [G]pleading I de[D]nied,
that leaves [D]only me to [A7]blame, 'cause Mama [D]tried

Dear old Daddy rest his soul, he left my mom a heavy load
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
Working hours without rest, she wanted me to have the best
She tried to raise me right, but I refused

i CAN'T WAIT FOR dYLAN & hAGGARD TO COME TO fLORIDA!

Actually, I've only seen one show of Hank III, heard 2 live cds, and have heard no studio work. I guess it's time to check it out.

I currently have no recordings of HIII and my friend who had the cds of his shows died and his stuff is whoknowswhere.
