CAPO I
INTRO: A
(Waylon):
[A]Before you pack your suitcase, call your mama
[A]Up to now she's taught you all you need to know
[E]Just look at me as kinda like your daddy
[E]Teachin' you the old rules of the [A]road
(Willie):
You won't be no superstar tomorrow
You've got to take the time to pay your dues
When you start to feel at home out on the highway
You're damn sure qualified to sing the blues
CHORUS:
[D]Always send the big guy for the [A]money
Don't [D]give 'em no excuse to do you [A]wrong
[D]Even when you lose you're still the [A]winner[F#m]
[E]At least you've got the makin's of a [A]song
[E] [A]
(Willie):
DOn't compromise your feelings when they matter
They'll come back to haunt you don't you know
(Waylon):
The songs you sing today you'll sing tomorrow
If you don't give up the music for the show
CHORUS
[E]At least you've got the makin's of a [A]song
