**This is a very rare song by Keith Whitley that was never released. I heard it on You Tube and figured it out, although I
think I may have missed a couple of chords. I use a capo to put it in my key.
CAPO 2
Chorus
G D G
I’ve done everything Hank did but die
G D
And it ain’t because I did not try.
G C
Sometimes it amazes me, that I got out alive
G D G
‘Cause I’ve done everything Hank did but die.
G
Old Hank was my hero, since I was a kid.
D
And I grew up re-livin’ all the crazy things he did.
G
Whiskey drinkin’, Honky Tonk singin’,
C
Stayin’ out all night,
G D
Livin’ hard and dyin’ young was just a way of life.
Chorus
G D G
I’ve done everything Hank did but die
G D
And it ain’t because I did not try.
G C
Sometimes it amazes me, that I got out alive
G D G
‘Cause I’ve done everything Hank did but die.
G
I didn’t know how dangerous that lost highway could be
‘Til one too many whiskey binges
D
Brought me to my knees
G
I saw the light that very night,
C
Old Hank is still the king.
G
But I found out that I don’t have to
D G
Kill myself to sing
Chorus
G D G
I’ve done everything Hank did but die
G D
And it ain’t because I did not try.
G C
Sometimes it amazes me, that I got out alive
G D G
‘Cause I’ve done everything Hank did but die.
G C
Sometimes it amazes me, that I got out alive
G D G
‘Cause I’ve done everything Hank did but die.
