The Year That Clayton Delaney Died--performed by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson
written by Tom T. Hall
11/21/05
NOTE: Willie sings first verse, Waylon second, etc.   Also, the C7 isn't stressed in
      every verse, but it stills sounds good if you play it.   The C/G is to indicate
      the alternating base note (between C and C/G)


INTRO: C  G  C

  C/G                   (G)             C/G   C7
I remember the day that Clayton Delaney died
     F                                              C/G
They said for the last 2 weeks that he suffered and cried
   F                                                     C/G
It made a big impression on me although I was a barefoot kid
                                 G                   C/G
They said he got religion at the end and I'm glad he did


Clayton was the best guitar picker in our town
I thought he was a hero and I used to follow Clayton around
I often wondered why Clayton, who seemed so good to me
Never took his old guitar and made it down to Tennessee


Well daddy said he drank a lot but I could never understand
I know he used to pick up in Ohio with a five piece band
Clayton used to tell me son better put that guitar away
There ain't no money in it and it'll lead you to an early grave


I guess if I admit it Clayton taught me how to drink booze
I can see him now half-stoned pickin' out the love sick blues
When Clayton died I made him a promise I was gonna carry on somehow
I'd give a hundred dollars if he could only see me now


I remember the year that Clayton Delaney died
Nobody ever knew it but I went out in the woods and I cried
I know there's a lot of big preachers that know a lot more than I do
But it could be the good Lord likes a little pickin' too


I remember the year that Clayton Delaney died


OUTRO: C/G  C7  F  C/G  F  C/G  G  C/G (repeat and fade)
