Intro Em G D Em 

Verse 
Em          G                 D 
Mirror image of his father before him 
                            Em 
The notes flow through his veins 
Em           G                        D 
Bottom so big, you can still hear a thunder 
               Em 
From the Opry stage 

Verse 
Em                     G                      D 
Worked his first master when he was just sixteen 
                     Em 
The boy could slap a Kay 
Em                  G                        D 
King Edward Specials on his lip and in his pocket 
                    Em 
He smoked it every day 

C              D  C           D 
   Hear the colors, wrapped in flannel 
C               D      Em 
   Forever wedged in my mind 
C              D  C             D 
   Hear the colors, no he ain't crazy 
C               D                 Em 
   Just run the number, here's the time 


Interlude 
Em G D 

Verse 
Em               G 
He was a brother, husband and father 
   D                                 Em 
A damn good man, a rambler and a friend 
Em                      G                        D 
So here's a song just to say farewell, rest in peace 
                Em 
Until we pick again
