G                        C
Last night I had a dream

That I was Hank's guitar
G
He held me close against his chest
                                 D7
And he wrote "Your Cheatin' Heart"
G                         C
He drank a lot of whiskey
                          G
As he wrote down all that pain
Am7                       D
When he sang it back to me

His tears fell on my strings
