You made [E] a mistake.
You invited Jesse and I to sing for our favorite men.
And that's what [N] we've decided to do tonight.
I mean, it's a little bit different.
So I thought maybe if Jesse, Jesse, you could do something for a very favorite man of yours, you know,
and just don't talk.
Don't say anything.
Waylon, don't don't breathe.
Don't say anything.
Just be dark black and press on.
Jesse, you do yours first and then I'll do mine.
This is for her favorite man.
Don't say anything.
You got a chance.
This kind of hard to do in front of John and June Cash, who are two of the greatest songwriters [Ab] in this business
and artists and two of our very favorite people in the whole world here tonight.
But I'm going to struggle, Junie, and I'm going to do what you ask.
How humble can you get, Jesse?
[G] I'm going to pull out of the
I'm going to pull out of the warehouse of songs because I think this this works for both of them.
You did hang the moon, didn't [D] you, Johnny?
Oh, you did hang that moon,
[G] didn't you, Johnny?
Weren't you the one, oh, [C] they call the [A] seventh son?
[D] Yes, you did hang that moon, [G] didn't you, Johnny?
You take so many words and bring them all home with one.
[Am] You [C]
walk into the room [F] and [C] it lights up like the sun.
[G] Every step you take, you make the way for [Em] someone.
[D] And I know you'd never do [G] me wrong.
[C] [G] Yes, you did hang the moon, [D] didn't you, Waylon?
Same song.
You did hang that moon,
[G] didn't you, Waylon?
[C] [G] [C]
[G] Weren't you the [Dm]
[C] one, oh, they call [A] the seventh son?
Yes, [D] you did hang that moon, [G] didn't you, Waylon?
[C] [G]
Go, baby.
I want to go on and on and on.
Now, [N] see there.
See, you just thought you were left out.
Well, I was, my feelings was hurt about halfway.
No, I was elated, though.
I just, I expected that second half to come back to you and I just really felt bad [E] about it.
I just thought I was really left out.
That's so good, Jesse.
[Ab] I figured, well, terrible place to find out about a divorce.
Well, you know, I wrote a song for you one time, Waylon, and I never could remember it all.
I never could hardly remember the first part of it.
But, you know, you were [N] famous for a lot of things, and one of them was cavorting to and fro.
It seemed to me like before Jesse came along and got you tied down where you were supposed to be tied and stayed tied there, you could cavort to and fro.
I didn't know I was doing that.
Oh, but you were.
But you were.
But anyway, you were always a friend of mine, [A] Waylon.
[Ab] So I'm just going to sing you a verse of a song I wrote for you, okay?
It's just a chorus.
You got a deal.
All right?
And then, I mean, it's got a lot of words to it.
I'm going to swell up.
Just swell up and try not to [A] explode.
Okay.
Waylon, you [D] are a friend [A] of mine.
[E] You've been a friend of mine a long, long [A] time.
Waylon, [D] since you were [A] 17, you were [E] young and but you [A] could sing.
[D] And Waylon, you are a [E] friend of [A] mine.
[N] You made it, Jude.
You did it, Jude.
What a sweet thing.
[G] That one was for you, about you being a friend of mine, but I wrote one for John years ago, and I thought that's what I was going to sing on the show.
Somebody asked me if I had ever written a song for John.
And I said I did write him one years ago, and it was called I'll Always Love You.
So, it's either [Ab] you are a friend of mine or I'll always love you.
So, I'm going to do one verse for [Am] Johnny here.
[G] Okay?
You got a deal.
Don't look at Waylon.
We are important, ain't we?
Don't look at Waylon.
I got the wrong portion of your song.
We've got a whole bunch of stuff to it.
You can look at me.
Jesse, look at me.
You can look at me.
I'll always love you.
You'll always be mine.
[D] Forever and always.
Till the end [G] of time.
Till the mountains split open with the weight of the sun.
And [D] we'll rise up together [G] as one.
[N] There's a lot of things you can do.
You can say, and I'll let my hair hang down.
Or I'll just wad it up in a wall.
Or I will slop the halls.
Or we'll roast the minnows.
You know what?
There ain't no way for me to get out of this except we'll be back.
Well, why?
Because you love us, lady.
You invited Jesse and I to sing for our favorite men.
And that's what [N] we've decided to do tonight.
I mean, it's a little bit different.
