[Am]Hank Williams, he ca[F]me up from Montgommery with his he[G]art full of broken
country s[Am]ongs.

(chords same throuhout the couplets)

Nashville and Tennessee didn't really understand him, because he did things
differently from the way that they were done.
When he finaly made it to the Grand ol' Ophry, he made it all stand still, he
ended up on alcohol and pills.

Elvis Presley, he came up from Jackson with that brandnew way of singin' and a
brand new way of dancin.
even from the waist up, lord, he gave the world a thrill because he enden up on alcohol and pills.

reffrain:
[C]alcohol and pills, i[G]ts a cryin shame, you th[G]ink they might have been happy
with the g[Am]lory and the fame,
[C]but fame doesn't take away the pain, i[G]t just pays the bills so they w[G]ind up
on alcohol and pill[Am]s.

Janis Joplin, she was wild and reckless and then there was Graham Parson, lord,
and there was Jimi Hendrix.
the story just goes on and on and I guess it allways will, they all wind up on alcohol and pills

rep. refr.

[C]sometimes somebody dont wake up one d[G]ay, sometimes it's a heartatack
someti[Am]mes they just don't say. but they fo[Am]und poor old Hank williams dead
in his Ca[F]ddilack Coupe Deville, he w[G]ound up on alcohol and pi[Am]lls.
