Townes van Zandt - Waiting around to die chords
Start Jamming...
But sometimes I don't know where this dirty [F#] road is taking me
[C#] Sometimes I can't even see the reason why
[G#m]
[C#m] But I guess I'll keep a gamblin'
[F#m] Lots of booze and lots of ramblin'
[C#] Oh, it's easier [G#m] than just a waitin' round to die
[C#m]
Well, one time friends, I had a ma
[F#m]
Ava and a pa
[C#] [C#m] We beat her with a bell once [G#m] cause she cried
She [C#] told him to take care of me
[F#m] Headed down to Tennessee
[C#] It was too [G#m] bad, waitin' [C#m] round to die
[C#] Well, it come age and I found a girl
[F#m] In a Tuscaloosa bar
[C#m] She cleaned me out [C#] and headed on the slide
I tried to kill the pain
[F#m] Lost the wine and hopped the train
[C#] It's [G#m] easier than just a waitin' round to [C#m] die
[F#]
[B] [G#m] [C#m]
Well, a friend said he knew
Where [C#] some easy money was
[B] [C#m] And we robbed a man and brother did [G#m] reply
[C#m] Hossie caught up with me
[F#] Took me back to Muskogee
[C#] It's two [G#m] long years of waitin' round to [C#m] die
Oh, but now I'm out of prison
[F#] [F#m] I got me a friend that laughs
He [C#m]
don't drink or steal or cheat or lie
Well, his name's Cold Dean
[E] He's [F#] the nicest thing I've seen
And [C#] together we're gonna wait around and die
[C#m] Oh, [G#m] together we're gonna wait [B] around
[C#]
