[Fm] Dave Evans, you need to check [A] him out if you're into this kind of shit.
[Db] [Gm]
I don't [G] think anybody in here is.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
He's one of the best singers that ever lived in the bluegrass world or any world.
[E] I'll [Dm] wait on that before I answer.
[G]
[C] Fucking amazing.
Like, [G]
oh yeah, he put his whole heart into it, you know.
He sang just with so much emotion and he just died, [Eb] you know.
[C]
[Cm] He was a bad mother.
[G] And he was also an outlaw.
Like, you know, he lived up in the hills and he didn't really [N] abide by the ways of society.
And he stayed [Bbm] there with his chickens.
I think he even [C] spent time in prison [N] for some shit.
And they [Db] didn't shot someone.
I don't know.
[A] He's a great, great mother.
Cheers to him.
[Ab] Cheers to him.
Dave Evans.
This is for Dave Evans.
I don't even know if I remember all the words to this one either, but I just [Eb] love the song.
See if I could.
[Ab] Now mommy and daddy [Db] both live [Gb] down [Ab] the street.
They'll go out drinking when there's nothing to eat.
The children [Db] they'll cry for they've never [Ab] been fed.
I'd rather break out a window, oh lord.
[Eb] I'd rather [Ab] be dead.
[Eb] [Ab] The [Eb] cold winds will [Ab] blow all [Db] the way to [Ab] howling howl.
[Eb] [Ab] My mother and dad lost in the cry.
They'll even [Db] spend money for whiskey [Ab] instead.
That's why I broke out a window, oh lord, [Eb] for one loaf [Ab] of bread.
[C] [Ab] I begged and [Db] I cried for the other [Ab] kids' sake.
Not a penny or a nickel, not a dime could I make.
Her life's [Db] so fun, for the store [Ab] up ahead.
I broke out the window, oh lord, [Eb] for one [Ab] loaf of bread.

[F] [Bbm] [Bm] [Cm]
[Bbm] [C] [Ab]
three little rakes [Db] just outside [Ab] of town.
Where family and friends are gathered around.
Holidays at [Db] a stone, oh, all these words that [Ab] we've read.
I'll break no more windows [Eb] and steal no more [Ab] bread.
[C] I begged and [Db] I cried for the other [Ab] kids' sake.
Not a penny or a nickel, not a dime could I
[C] make.
Her life's [Db] so fun, for the store [Ab] up ahead.
I broke out a window, [Eb] oh lord, for one [Ab] loaf of bread.
That's why I broke out the window, [Eb] oh lord, for one loaf [Ab] of bread. [Db] Woo!
