Oh, my cold and foggy evening [G] in [D] 1959,
Wayne [F] Jennings nearly lost [D] his life.
Big Bob would toss the antler [G] and give him a [D]
pissy
With Buddy Holly [C] on [G] that midnight [D] fly.
[G] Well, my patriotic must [D] have been lost on
[G] Or got the pilot made a grave [D] mistake.
[G] Well, the Red Star died [F] that night,
[G] But the lone wolf, he [D] survived.
And I say, Hat Star, [C] you are another [G] hard [D] luck ace.
You were on the road with Haggard [G] back in [D] 85,
The year they rode [F] the amber [C] waves [D] of grain.
Okie from Muskogee [G] was speaking for [D] us all
When he wrote that song [C] to Frank [G] Farmers' [D] Aid.
[G] Just last month I heard that he'd [D] got tired
[G] And went away to rest and ride [D] someplace.
[G] Tell my wit, [F]
[G] cause he and [D] Mama tried.
And I say, Hat Star, [C] you are another [G] hard [D] luck ace.
[G] Some of them are with us [Dm] and some of them are gone.
[C] Some of them are out there [G] somewhere, [A] barely hanging on.
[G] Each wanted treasure, [D] no one can take his place.
And I say, Hat [C] Star, you are another hard [D] luck ace.
I
[Dm]
[D] [Dm]
[D] remember meeting Janice [G] in a bar inside [D] a cruise
With a dealer she [F] pretended to [D] ignore.
She was swiggin' some uncomfort, and [G] every time her glass [D] ran low,
A man behind [C] the bar [G] poured out [D] some more.
And [G] I saw the dealer slip her something [D] quickly.
Well, [G] you suppose he knew she had no time [D] to waste.
And [G] when she stumbled for the [F] door, [G] it raised up that [D] old post.
Well, I said, Hat Star, [C] you are [G] another hard [D] luck ace.
They say Hank Jr.
fell off of a mountain,
[E]
[D] Said he'd never [C] walk [G] or sing [F] no more.
[G] [D] Well, the devil made [Dm] the deal, [Gm] she was on a sheet of vinyl [Dm] steel,
[D] And Hank just had [C] to even up [Dm] the score.
[G] Now some call it [Dm] a shock,
[G] others say that he just [D] fell from grace.
But [G] he could see both feet [F] foot now, [G] and he'd do his daddy proud.
And I [D] say, Hat Star, [C] you are another hard [D] luck ace.
[G] Some of them are with us, [D] and some of them are gone.
[C] Some of them are out there somewhere, [A] barely hangin' on.
[G] Each one is a treasure, [D] no one can take his place.
And I say, Hat Star, [C] you are another hard [D] luck ace.
