Chords for JOHN ANDERSON - Waymore's Blues (live solo acoustic performance)

[D] _ _ _ I was at my house trying to write a song that morning.
_ _ I won't forget it.
_ _ [Eb] I didn't [D] write a song.
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] The phone rang and I said,
well since I ain't coming [Eb] up with nothing, I might as [D] well answer the phone.
[Bb] That was back in the days when we used [N] the house phone. _
_ _ _ _ [D] I _ picked it up, I said, hello?
[Gm] He said, hey, Hoss, [N] this is Wakeman.
_ Oh, man, wake up. _
_ That was one of my wake up calls there.
I said, man, what are you doing calling me?
[D] _ _
I just want to say hi, Hoss, and [Gm] I'm working on a brand new record.
We're [D] going to cut it live down at the Ryman Auditorium.
[Gm] He said, now I really would like for you to come and be a part of [D] that.
_ [Bb] I thought to myself, wow, _ what an honor.
This guy is probably one of my top four greatest [Gb] influences in music, I would [D] say.
_ [Gm] He ended up being a real [D] friend of mine and a hero.
_ _ But anyway, [E] I said, well, man, I'd [Ab] love to.
[Bb] That would be great.
I'd appreciate you calling.
There was a little silence [N] on the phone.
He said, well, what do you want to do? _ _ _
_ I said, man, it's your record. _ _
Another little pause went by.
_ [G] He said, how about Waymore [Gm] Blue?
_ I said, yeah, I know that.
_ [D] _ [Bm] He [D] said, let's do that.
_ _ _ [Gm] I said, now when is [Bb] it?
He said, like a week from next [D] Tuesday.
I said, well, I'll be ready. _ _ _ _ _
I'm [Gm] so glad that I did that.
[Bb] Not that I would have ever turned [D] it down or anything by any means.
_ But this [Bb] ended up being the last record that [Gb] Waymore would make while he was living.
[D] So I hold one of the proud distinctions of being like [Gm] one of five [Dm] people [E] that are on Waymore's [D] last record.
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ And if you allow me, I'll do my little version of Waymore Blues.
And _ Lord knows I [Bb] know the better [D] half's gone here. _ _
_ _ _ He was so great, though. _
After he called me and said, [Bb] and again, this is one of the greatest compliments [D] I ever had.
[G] He said, I just want to tell you, Hoss, [N] you nailed it.
_ _ I said, wow, [D] thanks. _
I said, well, I didn't go _ to mess around.
_ _ _ _ And he said, no, what I'm telling you is, Hoss, [E] we had to [N] go redo those other boys. _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ And he said, I [Gm] told him if they touched your part, I was going to kill them.
_ [B] _ _
So [Bb] actually, you can go [D] get this performance on YouTube.
If you look up John Anderson, no, [Bb] Wayne and Jennings and [D] John Anderson.
_ _ _ And I love you.
I'm getting real proud to be on this particular record. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
