You Never Even Called Me By My Name chords

Well it was [C]all that I could [G]do to keep from [C]cryin'
Some[F]times it seemed so [G]useless to re[C]main
But [F]you don't have to [G]call me darli[C]n', da[Am]rlin'
You [C]never even [G]called me by my [C]name

[C]You don't have to [G]call me Waylon [C]Jennings
And [C]you don't have to [G]call me Cha[C]rley Pride
And [F]you don't have to [G]call me Merle [C]Haggard any[Am]more
[D7] Even though you're on my fightin' [G]side

And I'll [F]hang around as [G]long as you will [C]let me
and I [F]never mind[G]ed standing in the [C]rain
But [F]you don't have to [G]call me darlin[C]', dar[Am]lin'
You [C]never even [G]called me by my [C]name

Well I've [C]heard my name a [G]few times in your [C]phonebook (Hello? Hello?)
And I've [C]seen it on [G]signs where I've [C]played
But the [F]only time I [G]know I'll hear[C] David Allan [Am]Coe
[D7] Is when Jesus has his final judgment [G]day

So I'll [F]hang around as [G]long as you will [C]let me
and I [F]never mind[G]ed standing in the [C]rain
But [F]you don't have to [G]call me darlin[C]', dar[Am]lin'
You [C]never even [G]called me by my [C]name

(Spoken)
Well a good friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song.
And he told me it was the perfect country and western song.
Well I wrote him back a letter and told him:
It was not the perfect country and western song,
Because he hadn't said anything at all about mama,
Or trains, or trucks, or prison, or gettin' drunk!
Well, he sat down and wrote another verse to this song,
and he sent it to me. After reading it, I realized
That my friend had written the perfect country and western song.
And I felt obliged to include it on this album.
The last verse goes like this here:

Well I was [C]drunk the day my [G]mom got out of [C]prison
And I [C]went to pick her [G]up in the [C]rain
But be[F]fore I could [G]get to the station in my [C]pickup [Am]truck
[D7] She got runned over by a damned old [G]train

And I'll [F]hang around as [G]long as you will [C]let me
and I [F]never mind[G]ed standing in the [C]rain
But [F]you don't have to [G]call me darlin[C]', dar[Am]lin'
You [C]never even [G]called me
Well I [C]wonder why you don't [Am]call me,
[C] [G] [F] ([C] [G] [C])
Why don't you ever call me by my name?
