Chuck Wills Widow Chords

Capo: 2nd fret
Original Key: A

[Intro]
G    D
 
D          Em
And even a sad song
                C
Is better than no song
   D
At all
 
 
[Verse]
G
First chuck will's widow of the season
D
I just figured out that lonely bird's reason
    Em
For sleeping all day and singing the same song
D
All night long
 
     G
Poor Will is gone, the sadness is defeating
     D
That aching in your heart surely bears repeating
       Em
But it takes all day to gather up the strength
   D
To sing this song
 
 
[Chorus]
       G
I get lost
        D
Sad and lonely
      Em       D
And I count the stars
  C
Above me
      G
And I sing
                 D
When I should be sleeping
              Em      D
'Cause that's when the world
         C
Hears my weeping
 
 
[Verse]
   G
My neighbor's been shooting, they can't get enough
D
Maybe I'm just a billy goats gruff
 Em
Around midnight, it'll get tough
      D
When it gets quiet
 
               G
It's just some old tin cans and a buckshot gun
            D
I should be flying down the road in the warming sun
Em
Park my motorcycle when the day is done
    D
And say goodnight
 
 
[Chorus]
          G
But I get lost
        D
Sad and lonely
      Em       D
So I count the stars
  C
Above me
      G
And I sing
                 D
When I should be sleeping
              Em      D
'Cause that's when the world
         C
Hears my weeping
 
 
[BREAK]
G    D
Em   D
 
D      Em
Even a sad song
               C
Is better than no song
   D
At all
 
 
[Verse]
          G
Lose your will, lose your destination
D
Voices in your head keeping you guessing
      Em
If it all goes south, count it as a blessing
       D
That's where you are
 
             G
Yeah, that's where
          D
Where you are
 
[BREAK]
G    D
Em  D
 
[Chorus]
            G
If you get sad
         D
Lost and lonely
        Em       D
You can count the stars
  C
Above you
        G
You can sing
                   D
When you should be sleeping
              Em      D
'Cause that's when the world
           C
Hears your weeping
 
        G
You can sing
                   D
When you should be sleeping
