Verses - 

C           
Then there was the time I saw the great Hank Williams singing on the stage in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 
E
and he was all dressed up in drag
C
E
as he drank from a brown paper bag
C
And the songs he sang of love and pain so pure perfect reflections of human imperfections,
E
it damn near choked me up
D                        A                E
But the rest of the show, was kind of slow And then someone woke me up


**Repeat Intro**


C
Later on the Astros were silently beating the living cr*p out of Cincinnati on the 
E
TV above and a little to the left of the great Hank Williams' head
C
As a busty suicide blonde waitress poured him a double shot of 'whatever you got' and laughingly said 
E
"I thought you were dead"
C
The pool balls cracked as he tilted his head back and told her how he had been a big star 
E
but now country music was full of freaks
D            A               E
He sat there, in the TV glare Mascara streaked his cheeks


**Repeat Intro**


C
When I was only sixteen years old I went from Houston to Abilene with a spunky stunningly handsome woman 
E
in a Volkswagen Bug
C
She was grown with some kids all her own, a committment-free divorcee, 
E
and I was a man in love
C
We had only one 8-track tape but it was of the late great Hank Williams and 
E
we sang in two-part harmony
D                 A                   E
"Hey good lookin', how's about cookin' Something up with me"


**Repeat Intro**


C
Back at the bar they were calling last call so I gave the barmaid a credit card 
E
to pay up my tab
C
The TV was turned off and the stage was dark and the great Hank Williams was gone 
E
so I asked her to call me a cab
C
She said if you like I can give you a ride, so there we were out the door 
E
and into the city of brotherly love
D              A            E
Into the night, out of sight, In a VW Bug





- Just listen to the song, and plug in the walk-ups/downs in as needed.  The verses sound find just strumming chords, but you 
gotta get the walk-ups/downs
in between to keep the atmosphere of the song.

This is my first attempt at a tab, let me know what you think.  I've been looking for this song forever, finally figured it out 
on my own as my skills slowly 
build.
