[G]
I went down to the [C] Country Music [G] Hall of Fame.
They had asked me to bring them more of [D] Daddy's things.
[G] They said, Hank, you know, someday you might go in here with him.
And I thought about that note he wrote, [D] but I never told none [G] of them.
I've got songs of his no one has seen and mementos that sure chill.
But that note I found in his guitar case [D] made me cry like a [G] whipperwind.
[D]
He said, son, this is my old guitar.
[G] It's for you on me [D] to play.
And I hope you make it ring and talk in [E] our good old family [A] way.
And if [D] you make it to the top of Cephas, [G] boy, I'll be so [D] proud.
But listen to me, son, when the time comes, [A] take this guitar and [D] hand me down.
Hand me down if [G] you're weary.
Hand me [A]
down, son, if you get [D] sick or tired.
Hand me down when [G] the time comes.
Don't hang on too long to [D] these sad old songs.
[A] And [D] hand me down.
[G]
Well, I took his note and put it back [C] into [G] his guitar case.
I realize how long I've been on the road [A] and how many [D] shows I play.
[G]
Sometimes late at night, standing [C] in front of some [G] big crowd.
I swear I hear him call my name [D] and tell me to [G] hand me down.
Hand me down if you're [C] weary.
Hand me [D] down, son, if you [G] get tired.
Hand me down, my son, to [C] your son.
You teach him all his songs and [G] have his granddaddy moan.
[D] And tell that boy to carry on.
[C] You teach him all his songs [G] and have his granddaddy moan.
[D] And tell that boy to hand me down.
