Willie Nelson: The Demos Project, Vol. One

Willie Hugh Nelson (born April 30, 1933) is an American country singer, author, poet, actor and activist, originally from Abbott, Texas. He reached his greatest fame during the outlaw country movement of the 1970s, but remains iconic, especially in American popular culture.  Nelson was born and raised in Abbott, Texas, the son of Myrle and Ira D. Nelson, who was a mechanic and pool hall owner. His grandparents William Alfred Nelson and Nancy Elizabeth Smothers gave him mail-order music lessons starting at age six.

The lonely faces that you see
 A                        A7		    D	G   D	A
Are you sure that this is where you want to be

D			             D7
These are your friends, but are they real friends
G		            E7
Do they love you as much as me
 A		   A7	                    D   G   D  D7

G                                D7                       G
In the twilight glow I see her, blue eyes crying in the rain.
G                                    D7                   G
As we kissed goodbye and parted, I knew we'd never meet again.
C                             G               D7
Love is like a dying ember, Only memories remain.
G                                D7                      G
Through the ages I'll remember, blue eyes crying in the rain

Now my hair has turned to silver,
All my life I've loved in vain.
I can see her star i heaven,
Blue eyes crying in the rain.

Someday when we meet up yonder,
We'll stroll hand in hand again.
In a land that knows no parting, 
Blue eyes crying in the rain

Blue Eyes Cryin In The Rain

D                            D7
Well I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it 
        G                        D
cause I know just what I'm gonna do
A7            D
I'll start to spend my money calling everybody honey
    E7                 A7
and wind up singin the blues
              G                  D
I'll spend my whole paycheck on some old wreck
                             A7
And brother I can name you a few
       D          D7          G
Well I gotta get drunk and I sure do dread it
        D          A7            D
cause I know just what I'm gonna do


D                         D7
I gotta get drunk, I just can't stay sober
          G                     D
There's a lot of good people in town
A7           D
That like to see me holler, see me spend my dollar
      E7                             A7
and I wouldn't think of letting them down
G                             D
There's a lot of doctors that tell me
                                 A7
that I'd better start slowing it down
            D        D7                G
But there's more old drunks than there are old doctors
     D                 A7           D
So I guess we'd better have another round

Gotta Get Drunk

A                         D           A
Miracles appear in the strangest of places
       E7          A
Fancy meeting you here
                             D           A
The last time I saw you was just out of Houston
                   E7        A
Sit down - let me buy you a beer


                               D          A
Your presance is welcome with me and my friend here
      E7                   A
And this is a hang-out of mine
                              D         A
We come here quite often and listen to music
              E7          D
Partaking of yesterday's wine


CHORUS:
                         D           A
Yesterday's wine, we're yesterday's wine
            E7                     A
Aging with time, like yesterday's wine
                         D           A
Yesterday's wine, we're yesterday's wine
            E7                     A
Aging with time, like yesterday's wine


                           D            A
You give the appearence of one widely travelled
                       E7            A
I'll bet you've seen things in your time
                           D             A
So sit down beside me and tell me your story
                          E7          A
If you think you'll like yesterday's wine

There's just a little fashioned karma coming down 
                                          G7
Just a little old fashioned justice going round 
                C
A little bit of sowing and a little bit of reaping 
  F
A little bit of laughing and a little bit of weeping 
       C                    G7           C

Just a little old fashioned karma coming down

It really ain't hard to understand

If you're gonna dance you gotta pay the band 
     C                           G7           C
It's just a little old fashioned karma coming down

A Little Old Fashioned Karma

C              G
Maybe I didn't love you
Am      C         F         G
Quite as often as I could have
C                  G
And maybe I didn't treat you
Am       C         Dm7
Quite as good as I should have
F                  C
If I made you feel second best
F         C           Dm
Girl, I'm sorry I was blind
G       Am     G7    C     Dm
But you were always on my mind
F      G7        C     F     G
You were always on my mind
C              G
Maybe I didn't hold you
Am     C       F         G
All those lonely, lonely times
C                  G
And I guess I never told you
Am       C         Dm7
I'm so happy that you're mine
F                  C
Little things I should have said and done
F         C           Dm
I just never took the time
G            Am     G7    C     Dm
You were always on my mind
F             G7      C   F   G
You were always on my mind
C     G  Am    C
Tell       me
F            C               Dm    F    G7
Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
C     G Am
Give     me
C           F          C            Dm
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
     G                   C
I'll keep you satisfied

C
Livin' on the road, my friend
G
Was gonna keep us free and clean
F
But now you wear your skin like iron
C                              G
And your breath's as hard as kerosene
F
You weren't your mama's only boy
C                         F
But her favorite one, it seems
Am
She began to cry
           F        G
When you said good bye
F                   Am
And sank into your dreams

Pancho was a bandit, boys
Rode a horse fast as polished steel
Wore his guns outside his pants
For all the honest world to feel
Pancho met his match, you know
On the deserts down in Mexico
No one heard his dyin' words
But that's the way it goes

F
And all the federales say
C                           F
They could have had him any day
Am                 F    G
They only let him slip away
       F               Am
Out of kindness, I suppose

Now Lefty he can't sing the blues
All night long like he used to
The dust that Pancho bit down South
It ended up in Lefty's mouth
The day they laid old Pancho low
Lefty split for Ohio
Where he got the bread to go
Well there ain't nobody 'knows

But all the federales say
They could have had him any day
They only let him slip away
Out of kindness, I suppose

Now poets sing how Pancho fell
Lefty's livin' in a cheap hotel
The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold
And so the story ends, we're told
Pancho needs your prayers, it's true
But save a few for Lefty, too
He only did what he had to do
And now he's growin' old

And all the federales say
They could have had him any day
They only let him go so long
Out of kindness, I suppose

Yes a few old gray federales still say
They could have had him any day
They only let him go so wrong
Out of kindness, I suppose

Pancho And Lefty

[G] Whiskey River take my [C] mind
Don't let her memory torture [G] me
Whiskey River don't run [D7] dry
You're all I've got, take care of [G] me.

[G] I'm drowning in a whiskey [C] river
[G] bathing my memoried mind
In the [A7] wetness of its [D7] soul
[G] Feeling the amber current
[G7] flowin' from my [C] mind
And [D] warm and empty heart you left so [G] cold.

Couldn't Stand The Weather

G      Em
I found a love for me
               C                         D
Darling just dive right in, and follow my lead
                G                 Em
Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet
          C                                  D
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

                                 G
Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
              Em                     C               G  D
Not knowing what it was, I will not give you up this ti-ime
                   G                         Em
But darling just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
             C                  D
And in your eyes you’re holding mine

       Em   C            G          D              Em
Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
C                G     D                Em
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
          C                G                 D              Em
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
         C                G        D             
But you heard it, darling you look perfect tonight

               G                    Em
Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
                C                                        D
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I’ll share her home
           G             Em
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
         C                              D
To carry love, to carry children of our own

                              G                     Em 
We are still kids, but we’re so in love, fighting against all odds
                  C               G  D
I know that we’ll be alright this ti-ime
               G                            Em 
Darling just hold my hand, be my girl, I’ll be your man
          C              D
I see my future in your eyes



       Em   C            G          D              Em
Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
C                G     D                Em

When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
         C                G        D

G Em C D 


       Em     C            G          D              Em
Baby, I’m dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
C                G     D                Em

Somewhere

Intro -- Dm

Dm                       F
This is the song where I listen

Bb                       G
This is the song where I sit still

  Dm                                     F
I called the dogs off all the things I?m missing

       Bb
And to everyone but you before I set sail


       G          Eb         Bb
I said good luck, good luck, good luck

          C/G
These are tough times

          Eb
But we?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck


Dm                         F
This is the song where you speak up

Bb                             G
This is the song where you get moving

    Dm                            F
You cried some trouble out into a tea cup

       Bb
And to me but no-one else before you threw it



         G          Eb         Bb
You said good luck, good luck, good luck

          C/G
These are tough times 

          Eb
But we?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck


Dm F Bb G (4 times)


Dm                            F
I put ashore in front of our apartment

    Bb                                       G
And watched you comb the stoop for shards of porcelain

     Dm                                         F
Satisfied that there were none that broke the silence

          Bb
And after this I promise not to interrupt again


      Dm                       F
Cause this is the song where I listen

Bb                       G
This is the song where I sit still

  Dm                                     F
Until our heartbeats drown out the clock ticking

        Bb
And the song is just I love you and always will


G          Eb         Bb
Good luck, good luck, good luck

          C/G
these are tough times

          Eb
But We?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck 

          C/G
these are tough times

          Eb
But We?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck 

          C/G
these are tough times

          Eb
But We?ll get by

     Bb

This Is The Song

E                              B                 A
I don't have much to give, but I don't care for gold
A           G#             F#m                     E
What use is money, when you need someone to hold
E                              B               A
Don't have direction I'm just rolling down this road
A           G#             F#m                     E
Waiting for you to bring me in from out the cold

        F#m                                 G#m
You'll never know the endless nights, the rhyming of the rain,
   F#m                               B
Or how it feels to fall behind and watch you call his name

E                            A/F#m
Pack up and leave everything, don't you see what I can bring
A           G#         F#m      E
Can't keep this beating heart at bay
E                            A/F#m
Set my midnight terror free, I will give you all of me
C#m         F#7     A       E
Leave your lover, leave him for me

E                               B              A
We sit in bars and raise our drinks to growing old
A       A/G#                F#m         E
I'm in love with you and you will never know
E                              B             A
But if I can't have you I'll walk this life alone
A              G#              F#m            E
Spare you the rising storms and let the river flow

        F#m                                 G#m
You'll never know the endless nights, the rhyming of the rain,
    F#m                              B
Or how it feels to fall behind and watch you call his name

E                             A/F#m
Pack up and leave everything, don't you see what I can bring
A           G#         F#m      E
Can't keep this beating heart at bay
E                           A/F#m
Set my midnight terror free, I will give you all of me
C#m         F#7     A         E
Leave your lover, leave him for me
C#m         F#7     A         E
Leave your lover, leave him for me

Leave Your Lover

Here's the melody of this amazing song, have fun!

Sad Machine

F#m              A            E
Waited for your call, for the moon
   F#m                  A           E
To release me from the longest afternoon
     F#m               A            E  
I've re-arranged parts of my living room
     Bm                              D                                   
But time is hard to kill since I met you



    F#m            A                  E 
I'm looking at the cars that drive on by
      F#m              A           E 
While spring is making promise outside
F#m                A         E     
Red cars are quite rare I realise
       Bm                      D
Then I wonder which colour you like



A
Seven little numbers
       E
Baby, they could be a start
F#m
Seven little numbers
       D
Baby, I know yours by heart




F#m       A         E                                   F#m
    Woo-oah, oh-oh, all the pretty things that we could be
          A           E                          F#m
    Woo-oah, oh-oh, I feel you in every heart beat
          A             E                                        Bm
    Woo-oah, oh-oh, were you ever in a dream that could come true
              D                  F#m                  
These numbers could be lucky for you


(Break)


F#m                  A             E
Watch the sky change to a darkened blue
  F#m                   A         E
I can't think of another thing to do
    F#m             A                 E 
And every song just makes me think of you
            Bm           
Because the singers sounds as if she was longing,
       D
As if she was longing, too


A
Seven little numbers
       E
Baby, they could be a start
F#m
Seven little numbers
       D
Baby, I know yours by heart
A
Seven little numbers
      E
Baby they could make a change
F#m
Seven little numbers
                  D
Make a fire out of this flame



F#m       A         E                                   F#m
    Woo-oah, oh-oh, all the pretty things that we could be
          A           E                          F#m
    Woo-oah, oh-oh, I feel you in every heart beat
          A             E                                        Bm
    Woo-oah, oh-oh, were you ever in a dream that could come true
              D                  F#m                  
These numbers could be lucky for you
