Chords for Billy Joe Shaver - Songs for Eddy & You (w/ Live Forever)

My son used to play guitar with me here.
I've been played here before not this place
And _ _ he was a marvelous guitar player.
He played with Booger T. _
First two years Dwight Yoakum came out.
He was his lead guitar player.
_ He played with all the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ others.
But he uh, _ _ fell in with some bad companions and died in a motel room on New Year's Eve 2000. _ _ _ _
_ _ That's what they said.
I don't know exactly what happened.
_ This is a _ song, this next song is about _ him and you too.
It's if you're out there having fun, I know a lot of us, well me in particular, I'm never going to grow up I don't reckon.
But _ a lot of us get out and we have fun.
_ And you gotta be careful though when you're having fun.
If _ you tempt God long enough, he'll take you.
If you're walking on the edge of a cliff, be careful kids.
It's rough out there, be careful.
Have fun but be very careful and watch what you're doing.
If something goes _ quick and gets right in your head, don't do it. _
But uh, _ have fun.
This is for you _ and for my [A] son Eddie. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ You'll have to [E] do the [A] best you can, [D] good friend [A] of mine.
Someday [E] our paths may [D] cross again in a better [A] time.
[E] I know, [Em] you [A] know, you know, you know that I pulled [E] the thorn out of your [D] side when I walked [A] away.
I took [Em] the rock out [D] of your shoe on that very [A]
day.
I [E] pray you'll [D] forgive me for not leaving sooner.
[A] You are the [Em] star in [D] my heart.
Yes, you've [A] always known.
Though [E] we are many worlds [D] apart, I'm still your [A] friend.
[E] And friends [A] will always [D] be friends forever.
[A] _ _ _ [E] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] Don't waste your precious [D] thoughts on me and my [A] tired old dreams.
Your soul [E] is bursting [D] at the seams.
[A] You are finally free [E] to be [D] even more than you could [A] ever dream of.
You'll learn [E] to hold your [D] head up high [A] and you'll make your stand.
[E]
You'll look the world straight in [D] the eye.
You will never [A] blame [E] to think [D] I almost held on too long to help [A] you.
You are the [E] star in [D] my heart.
[A] Yes, you've always known.
Though [E] we are many [D] worlds apart, I'm still your [A] friend.
[E] And friends [A] will always be friends forever.
You are [E] the star in [D] my heart.
_ _ Love you, [A] Eddie. _
