I was on the road in Georgia, _ _ _
[G] _ _ I heard Merlin passed [D] _ _ away. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Hell, I thought he'd live forever, _ _ _ _ he shaped [A] every note I played.
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] Tonight these old white lines look different _ [G]
than _ _ _ they [D] usually do. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Merlin was my greatest _ inspiration, _ _ _
[A] _ the _ reason why I sang [D] the blues. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Taught me how to play the guitar _ _ [Am]
[G] and _ _ _ write a [D] country _ song.
_ _ _ _ [Em] _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] He [D] spent some time in San Quentin _ _ for _ the things that [A]
he'd done wrong.
_ [Em] _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ He [D] made me proud to be an O'kee. _ _ _
[G] _ _ God knows we paid [D] our dues, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ he was my greatest _ inspiration. _ _ _
[A] _ _ The reason why I sang the [D] blues. _ _ _ _ _ _

[G] I'm lost _ _ in a world _ _ _ [D] without Hacker. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ Who'll tell the truth _ to you and [D] _ me? _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
[G] Oh, I'm lost _ _ in a world _ _ _ [D]
without Hacker.
_ _ _ [G] _ _

_ _ _ _ _ [A] He gave [D] his life to country music, _ _ [G] _
_ _ he's the best [D] that's ever been. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
An honest voice of reason, _ _ _ _ _ I likely won't [A] see again.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ If _ _ I [D] could hear one last song, _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ the smile that [D] I would choose
_ was _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ my greatest _ inspiration, _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ the reason why I sang the [Dm] blues. _
