SONG: WAITIN AROUND TO DIE ARTIST: TOWNES VAN ZANDT NOTE: HAMMER ON LOW E STRING WITH PINKY WHILE FINGER PICKING THE Am IN THE INTRO. AND BETWEEN VERSES. (I wrote this chord chart from a tab I received from John Dalton as he performed it on Youtube) CAPO 2 Am Dm Sometimes I don't know where... this dirty road is taking me Am Em Sometimes I don't even know the reason why Am Dm But I guess I'll keep on ramblin'..., Lots of booze and lots of gamblin' Am Em Am It's easier than just waitin around to die. Am Dm Once I had a Ma..., I even had a Pa Am Em He beat her with a belt once 'cause she cried Am Dm She told him to take care of me..., Headed down to Tennessee Am Em Am It was easier 'n just waitin around to die. Am Dm I came of age and I met a girl.., in a Tuscaloosa bar Am Em She cleaned me out and hid it on the sly Am Dm I tried to kill the pain.., I bought some wine and hopped a train Am Em Am Seemed easier than just waiting around to die Am Dm My friend said he knew where some easy money was Am Em We robbed a man and brother did we fly Am Dm The police caught up with me..., drug me back to muskogee Am Em Am Now it's two long years of waitng around to die. Am Dm Now I'm out of prison..., I got me a friend at last Am Em He don't drink, or steal, or cheat, or lie Am Dm His name's codiene..., he's the finest thing I've seen Am Em Am and together we're gonna wait around to die.
