Here's a young man that won a Grammy Award for one of his performances a couple of years ago.
On that good old Nashville music, here's Waylon Jennings.
[D]
Saw a woman walking across the state.
Walking 30 [G] miles en route to LA [A] to get a brown eyed [D] handsome man.
Her destination [C] were a brown [G] eyed handsome [D] man.
My little Venus was a beautiful lass.
She had the world in the palm of her hand.
She lost both her arms [G] in a wrestling match to [A] get a brown eyed handsome [D] man.
Brought myself [C] a brown [G] eyed handsome [D] man.
[G] Way back in history, 3,000 years back, [F] ever since the [D] world began.
There's been a whole lot of good [G] women that shed a tear [A] for a brown eyed [D] handsome man.
Working for the [C] world, brown eyed [D] handsome man.
[E] [C#m]
[E] Everybody knows you've been stepping on my toes.
Stepping out [A] of line and messing up your mind if you've had any sense.
[B] Ever since you were a little bitty teeny girl, you said I was the only man in this whole world.
Now you better do some thinking then you'll find you got [E] the only man that'll walk the line.
You got the only daddy that'll walk the line.
[D] [C] [A]
[D]
[A] I've seen morning burning [G] golden all around [D] in the sky.
[A]
[D] Aching with the feeling [G] of the freedom of an eagle when [A] she flies.
[G] Turning on the world the way she smiled upon my soul as I [D] lay dying.
Healing as the colors in [G] the sun shine in the shadows of [D] her [G] eyes.
[D]
Waking in the morning to [G] the feeling of her fingers on [D] my skin.
Wiping out the traces [G] of the people and the places [D] that I've been.
[G] Teaching me that yesterday was something that I never [D] thought I'd try.
Healing as the colors in the sun [G] shine in the shadows [D] of her eyes.
Loving her was easier [A] than anything [F#m] I'll [A] ever do [Bm] again.
[D]
[G]
Healing that I've never known [D]
before.
She [A] ain't ashamed to be [G] a woman.
She ain't afraid to be [D] a friend.
[G] I don't know the answer to the easy way she's opened [D] every door.
But dreaming wasn't easy [G] as believing it was never [D] gonna end.
Loving her was easier [A] than anything I'll ever do [D] again.
[N]
