Am                      G 
I got a sister out in Charlotte 
Am                                    G 
I love her cause she's crazy in her head 
Am                      G      
I got a brother he's a pilot 
Am           G      D   
Sometimes I pray I'll just see him again 
Am                         G                                    
My father told me once he said son 
Am                         G 
Only a fool stays out at night 
Am                        G 
Well it's 4 a.m. and I'm out here on the boulevard 
Am         G             D  
I got no money but you know I'm doin' alright 
 
Chorus 
                  G 
Yeah, you gotta know 
              C9  
There ain't nothin' bout money 
        G                     C9  
That's ever gonna save your soul. 
           G 
And the dreams of the young 
       C9 
Have never been nothing 
         G                   C9 
But the last request of the old. 
Am                       D 
Heaven is a fiddle on a late night radio. 
Am 
You can't find redemption, 
D 
Brother if ya got no soul. 
           G      C9     G     C9                  
You Gotta Know. 
 
Her name was Amy, she was a friend of mine 
Wanted to be a rich man's wife 
She fell in love with cars and expensive wine 
She must have forgot what it means to live her life 
 
Chorus 
 
Weathered hands on a steel guitar 
He plays every evening till they turn them bar lights down 
You know he's tired of them dammed old cigarettes 
Now he's saving up his money so he can move on out of town 
 
 
Chorus Twice
