The Makins Of A Song Chords & Lyrics - Willie Nelson & Waylon Jennings

CAPO: 1st Fret

(Waylon):
[A]Before you pack your suitcase call your mama
[A]Up till now she's taught you all you need to know
[E]Think of me as kinda like your daddy
Teaching you the ol' rules of the [A]road

(Willie):
[A]You won't be no superstar tomorrow
[A]You've gotta take the time to pay your dues
[E]When you start to feel at home out on the highway
You're damn sure qualified to sing the [A]blues

[CHORUS]
Waylon: [D]Always send the big guy for the [A]money
Willie: [D]Don't give 'em no excuse to do you [A]wrong
Waylon: [D]Even when you lose you're still the [A]winner
Willie: [E]At least you've got the makin's of a [A]song

(Willie):
[A]Don't compromise your feelings when they matter
[A]They'll come back to haunt you, don't you know?

(Waylon):
[E]The songs you sing today you'll sing tomorrow
If you don't give up the music for the [A]show

[CHORUS]
Waylon: [D]Always send the big guy for the [A]money
Willie: [D]Don't give 'em no excuse to do you [A]wrong
Waylon: [D]Even when you lose you're still the [A]winner
Willie: [E]At least you've got the makin's of a [A]song
Both: [E]At least you've got the makin's of a [A]song
