The Year That Clayton Delaney Died chords

INTRO: [Ab] [Db] [Ab] [Db] [Ab]

#1.

I re[Db]member the year that [Ab]Clayton Delaney [Db]died.
They [Gb]said for the last two weeks that he suffered
and [Db]cried.
It [Gb]made a big impression on me, although I was a
barefoot [Db]kid.
They said he got religion at the [Ab]end and I'm glad
that he [Db]did.

#2.
[Db]Clayton was the best guitar [Ab]picker in our [Db]town.
I [Gb]thought he was a hero and I used to follow Clayton
a[Db]round.
I [Gb]often wondered why Clayton, who seemed so good to [Db]me,
never took his [Dbm]guitar and [Ab]made it down in Tenn-o-[Db]see.

#3.
Well, [Db]Daddy said he drank a lot, but [Ab]I could never under[Db]stand.
I [Gb]knew he used to pick up in Ohio with a five-piece [Db]band.
[Gb]Clayton used to [Db]tell me, [Gb]son, you better put that old guitar
a[Db]way.
[Db]There ain't no money in it, it'll [Ab]lead you to an early [Db]grave.

#4.
I [Db]guess if I'd admit it, [Ab]Clayton taught me how to drink [Db]booze.
I can [Gb]see him half-[Db]stoned, a-[Gb]pickin' out the Lovesick [Db]Blues.
When [Gb]Clayton died I [Db]made him a [Gb]promise, I was gonna carry on
some[Db]how.
I'd give a hundred dollars if [Ab]he could only see me [Db]now.

#5.
I re[Db]member the year that [Ab]Clayton Delaney [Db]died.
No[Gb]body ever knew it, but I went out in the woods and I [Db]cried.
[Db]Well, I know there's a [Gb]lotta big preachers that know a lot more
than I [Db]do.
But it could be that the Good Lord [Ab]likes a little pickin', [Db]too.
Yeah, I re[Db]member the year that [Ab]Clayton Delaney [Db]died.
