Chords for ONE WEST X Carter Robertson - A Couple More Years

[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
[A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] [D] Dabgum it, Waylon.
_ Why'd you have to go do a thing like this?
_ It was late afternoon and we had just left Jesse and the rest of the family at [G] their
house there in [D] Arizona.
_ [C] Earlier we [D] had all celebrated Waylon's life together [G] and then said our goodbyes.
_ It wasn't that it was [D] unexpected.
[G] It just still felt like a shock to lose our lifelong [Gm] friend.
We had all tried to be as loving and [D] supportive as possible to both of them and now just like
everybody else we were going to have to learn how to let him go.
_ There was a song that I recorded with Waylon off of that [Dm] very first album.
[E] It's remained a [A] favorite of mine.
[E] It [G] was written by the great Shel Silverstein and old Dennis LeCourier.
There you go.
[D] _
You know what?
We recorded it again when we all [Dm] joined back up later as the Waymore Blues Band.
[E]
It was [A] part of [E] that [G] legendary recording when Waylon's last there at Ryman Auditorium for
the [D] Never Say Die album.
[G] [D] A couple years ago I guess it is now I got to record it with my [E] daughter's Carter's Chord.
It just seemed like the song [G] had come full circle.
I know Waylon is proud.
[D] _ [G] The [D] depth of its story has become more rich with the passage of time.
I hope you enjoy this.
_ [G] _
_ [Em] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ [G]
I've got a couple more years on you baby.
_ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ [D]
I've had more chances to fly and more places [G]
to fall.
_ _ _ _ [C] _ [G] It's not that I'm wiser.
It's just that I've spent more time with my back [C] to the wall _ _
_ _ [D] I've picked up a couple more years on you, babe
[G] And that's all _ _ _
_ [C] _ [G] _ I've walked a couple more roads than you, babe
But [D] that's all
_ [E] _ [D] _
_ _ _ I'm tired of running while you're only learning [G] to crawl
_ You're _ _ _ _ heading somewhere and I've been to somewhere
I found [Dm] that it was nowhere [C] at all
_ _ _ _ [D] I've never picked up a [G] couple more [D] years on you, babe
[G] But that's all
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Saying goodbye don't ever come [D] easy at all
_ _ _ [G] _ _
[D] You've got a flight cause you're hearing some young eagles [G] call _ _ _ _ _
Someday when you're older and you think of him
And smile that I'm [C] strong and tall _ _
_ _ You say [D] I've got a couple more years on you, babe
But [G] that's all
You _ guys do this
_ I've got a couple more years on you, babe
[D] But that's all _ _
I've _ _ _ had more chances to fly
And more places [G] to fall _
Yeah
It's [G] _ [C] [G] not that I, it's just that I've spent more time with my back [C] to the wall
And _ _ _ [D] I've picked up a couple more years on you, babe
And that's [G] all
_ [C] _ _ [G] _
_ [D] I've picked up a couple more years on you, babe
[G] And that's all _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
