[INTRO]
[D] [Em] [D] [Em]
[VERSE 1]
Well I'm a k[D]id with a guitar trying to [G]play [A]Nuages when they [D]ask.
[G]Where does your [A#]style come [D]from?
[D]I know what you mean, 'cause [G]I learned to [D]sing
[G]Listening to Blue [A]Yodel number [D]1.
We [Bm]love Hank and Lefty, Bob [F#m]Wills, Ernest Tubbs and Johnny [G]Cash,
but if [Em]we had to pinpoint the start of who we are we'd go [A]back.
[CHORUS]
To [G]Django and [D]Jimmie, [A]Paris and [D]Mississippi.
A [G]young singing [D]brakeman, a [A]jazz playing gypsy.
There [G]might not have [D]been a [F#]Merle or a [G]Willie,
if [Em]not for [A]Django and [D]Jimmie.
[INSTRUMENTAL]
[Em] [D] [Em]
[VERSE 2]
Through the [D]20's and 30's [G]Jimmie [A]sang his way to the [D]top,
[G]despite of those [A#]old TB [D]blues.
[D]Django was a star, [G]he burned up a [D]guitar
[G]with just two good f[A]ingers to [D]use.
You can't [Bm]turn back time or [F#m]put more sand in the [G]glass,
but [Em]sometimes at night, I close my eyes and go [A]back...
