Chords for Shooter Jennings "Belle of the Ball" // SiriusXM // Outlaw Country

[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
Dull the Ball, you know, it was something really special about that, about the recording, about Richie's drumming on the recording of that, the whole
thing had a feeling to it.
And so when
he always, like I said, he [N] expressed to me that was the favorite song he ever wrote.
And
the beginning of that song,
Vagabond Dreamer, a rhymer and singer of songs, was the first time, possibly only time, that I think he
painted a picture of himself, how he saw himself to some degree.
And so when he passed away and we were putting together Gravestone,
I think it was my idea.
Either way, one way or another,
I felt that that was probably one of the most important things you could put on it.
And we did, and it says that on there.
[D] Because I think he just felt, you know, that
he never took himself too seriously.
It was like what he did was music and that was it, you know.
And I think it mattered more than anything to him.
And [B] so Witt, when I met Witt, my mom had been talking to him and I'm of course gonna be the
one who's like, I don't know if we need another tribute record, blah blah blah, you know.
I don't know, you know, how was the hardest nut to crack of the thing?
I'll tell you that up and down.
But poor Witt flew all the way down to see me at the Bama Jam.
It was on Father's Day and I made him sit through my show and the Flaming Lips show before I'd even talked to him [D] about anything.
But [Am] I did this song at it and he said he said [E] he wanted me to do it [D] on the record.
It made me happy. _ _ _ _ _
_ Vagabond, dreamer,
_ [G]
rhymer,
singer [D] of song. _ _
_ _ _ _ _
Singing to no [G] one and nowhere really [D] belong. _ _
_ _ _ _ Met a beautiful [G] lady,
pure Southern belle [D] of the ball. _ _
_ _ _ _ Like Scarlet O'Hara, [G] love no one.
Wanted them [A] all. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] I'll never forget you.
Love you in spite of [D] your faults. _
_ _ _ _ _
Good and the bad, I [G] want to remember [D] it all. _ _
_ _ _ _ When I did a new dance,
[G] you did your Tennessee [D] walls. _ _ _
_ _ _ Now the party's all over.
[G] I came uninvited.
[D] I'm leaving and taking [A] the belle [G] of the ball. _ _

_ _ _ _ There will always be someone.
[G] I guess that's the way it [D] should be. _ _
_ _ _ _ _
Guess I should know [G] that someone used to [D] be me. _ _
_ _ _ _ _
They'll gather around _ [G] soon.
They'll all [D] look the same. _ _
_ _ _ _ At the feet of the lady [G] are lovers without [D] any names. _
_ _ _ _ _ [G]
I'll never forget you.
Love you in spite [D] of your faults. _
_ _ _ _ _
Good and the bad, [G] I want to remember [D] it all. _ _
_ _ _ _ When I did a new dance,
[G] you did your Tennessee [D] _ walls. _
_ _ _ _ Now the party's all over.
[G] I came uninvited.
