Waitin in welfare line Buck Owens
[Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-Eb]and play the chords as written.
NOTE #2 This live cut differs from the studio cut in that Buck flubbed the
words to the second verse! For completeness, I am including the studio cut
lyrics. Enjoy!
-----------------------------------------
INTRO: G Em A7 D7
[G] I got the hun-gries for your love, and I'm waitin' in your welfare line.
VERSE 1
[G] [Em] [C] [D7] [G] Well, I ain't got nothin' but the shirt on my back, and an old two-button
suit
I [G]walked ou[C]tta my job about a[D7] week ago, a[G]nd I'm sleepin' in a telephone
booth
[G] [Em] [C] [D7] [G] But I'm a-gonna be the richest guy around, the day you say you're mine
I got the h[G]ungries f[Em]or your love and I'm w[A7]aitin' in your w[D7]elfare l[G]ine
VERSE 2
Well, when I first met you babe, you nearly made me wreck my ol' '49
Cadillac
Yeah I knew at a glance that it was you for me; I had to have your love by
heck
I'm gonna follow you baby wherever you go; I got nothin' to lose but my
time
I got the hungries for your love, and I'm waitin' in your welfare line
LEAD SOLO - Same as the last two lines of the verse!
VERSE 3
Well, you made me the top dog of your hill, and I was overjoyed
But it didn't take long until the thrill was gone, I joined the ranks of
the unemployed
Now I'm right back where that I started from, but I ain't gonna change my
[mind] I got the hungries for your love, and I'm waitin' in your welfare line
I'm waitin' in your welfare line (Gimme a handout)
I'm waitin' in your welfare line.
Dedicated with love to the late DON RICH - miss ya, hoss.
