Waylon Pays Tribute to Glen Campbell chords
Start Jamming...
And Willie's sitting over here, an American tradition.
Waylon, were you like a lot of kids in Texas when you grew up?
Were you a big fan of Bob Wills?
No.
I wasn't.
I liked two of his songs.
I really did.
That was a misconception.
You're talking about the song
Bob Wills is Still the King.
Yeah.
But I wrote that about two different things.
I wrote it once about them Texas honky tonks with them big old stages and big
old dance floors and me with a four-piece band.
That they built them
all for Bob Wills type bands, you know.
Hey, let me say something about Glenn.
A while ago we was talking about him.
You know, I don't know a lot of people, I
know you remember the Glenn Campbell Good Time Hours.
That was Good Time or
just
Anyway, a bunch of us was just hanging around here in limbo.
You know, we
couldn't get anything going up or down in Nashville.
And Glenn had that show.
Didn't have to do anything for anybody, but on every one of them that I ever saw
he had some guy that was struggling along in Nashville.
He always, you never
forgot where he came from.
And he helped us all try to get started.
Didn't pay us.
Well, you got scale.
I'm paying you more than Ralph's paying us.
There you go.
But I don't know if I ever told you, I appreciate that, but don't take it that I
like you or anything.
Oh, I don't.
I don't.
But I gotta tell a story about that.
Waylon
come on in and when he smiled he had a gap in his teeth.
And they wanted to fill
that in.
The director wanted to fill them teeth in.
And they shot one of them and I said,
Waylon, man, just, you know, you tell them what they can do with that teeth and
where they can put it.
And you do the song like you want to do it, man.
Because what he's saying of teeth is just flat sticking out there.
He did take care of us.
Some kind of gunk on them.
We were out of our element, you know.
Them holly weird
people will dress your butt up.
They will.
[E]
And then they're worse than doctors.
Where we at now?
We want you to sing Bob Wills' Still King.
Well the honky tonks in Texas were [A] my natural [E] second home.
Where you tipped your hats to the ladies in the rows [B] of San Antonio.
[A] I grew up on
music [E] we call Western Swing.
It don't matter who's in Austin, [B] Bob Wills' [E] Still King.
Hey.
[A] You can't hear the randol uproar from [E] Nashville, Tennessee.
It's a home of country music,
home that we [B] all agree.
When [E] you cross that old Red River Haul, [A] it just don't mean [E] a thing.
Once you're back in Texas, [B] Bob Wills' Still [E] King.
Oh boy.
[A] [E]
[B]
[E] Well if you ain't [A] never been there, [E] then I guess you ain't been home.
I just wanted to slang early.
Glad you just came down in Texas, unless you got a lot [B] of soul.
[E] It's a home of Willie Watson name [A] and the home of [E] Western Swing.
He'll be the first to tell you [B] Bob Wills' [E] Still King.
Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, ribbit.
[N]
