Here's Guy Clark.
Guy Clark is a songwriter's songwriter.
And no matter where he lays down his guitar, he's a Texan through and through.
Well I wish I [A] was an [C#m] Austin.
[E] In the chilly parlor [B] bar, [Em] drinking math of margaritas, [A] and not caring [E] where you are.
He released his debut album, Old [C#] Number One, in 1975.
And brought those songs and more to the Austin City Limits [C] stage the very next [B] year.
[D]
Well, you know, I started watching Austin City Limits when I was still in high school.
It was the first time I saw Guy Clark.
[B] Guy would [D] show me how he actually went about the mechanics of writing a song.
He's still doing it the way he's always done it, you know, with a pad and a pencil [A] and a big eraser.
I think [D] audiences appreciate honesty.
[A] Someone who can bring real artistry to that.
[E] Clark wrote classic songs made famous by others, [A] like Bobby Bear, The Highwaymen, and Jerry [E] Jeff Walker.
[F] Or [D#] if I tested on [F] that, I'd be [A#] waving at it till [E] it's gone.
But you'll have 50 or 60 people [G] still sitting on their [E] cars.
[A] The West Texas native has made seven compelling [B] [E] appearances on Austin City Limits.
Trains are picking black and smoking [G] steam, screaming at the wheels.
[A]
Triggering anything [B] is, at least that's the way she feels.
His impact on Austin City Limits audiences and crew members is immeasurable.
[D] [E] Guy Clark's the best.
[G] Probably the best songwriter came out of Texas I can think of.
[Bm] Like dust bottles waiting [B] for [G] a train.
We're proud to welcome singer, songwriter, storyteller [N] Guy Clark into the Austin City Limits Hall of Fame.
