_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [D#m] _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ was [E] December _ _
_ [B] 1983 when I [C#m] first saw him [A] play
_ In a [E] small town out in [B] East Tennessee [C#m] in a countryside _ cafe
[A] _ I [E] remember well [B] the songs he would sing
And [C#m] I remember the joy he [A] would always bring
[E] Every time he would play a [C#m] Hank Williams song
_ [B]
Everyone would sing [E] _ _ _ [D#m] along
_ [D#m] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [A]
And they'd be singing, [E] _ I, _ [D#m] _
_ _ [C#m] oh I saw [A] the light
Yes [E] and _ _ [D#m] I, _ I'm [C#m] so lonesome I think I [B] could cry
_ _ _ They'd say that [E] I've got those long [B] gone lonesome blues
[C#m] I know Hank, [A] he did too
_ [E]
Can you [B] remember the [C#m] day _ that [B]
Luke the drifter [E] died
Said _
[D#m] _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [E] I played in the drifting [B]
cowboy band [C#m] it was back in [A] 52
_ You [E] know Hank had a [D#m] lot of loyal [B] _ [C#m] fans but friends there [A] were few
_ And I [E] remember well the [B] shows that we did
[C#m] And I remember the [A] joy he would always give
[E] As the people would [C#m] listen to his song
_ [B] They [B] would always [E] sing along
_ [B] _ _ And [C#m] _
_ _ _ [A] _ they'd be [E] singing, _ I, [B] _ _ _ [C#m] oh I saw [A] the light
Yes [E] and _ I, [B] _ _ I'm [C#m] so lonesome I think I could [B] cry
They'd _ say that [E] I've got those long gone [D#m]
lonesome blues
[C#m] Lord I don't know [A] why
_ Can you [B] remember the [C#m] day that [B] Luke the drifter [E] died _

[C#m] Near a countryside _ cafe
[A] _ _
