C Dm C Dm 

            C                         F   G             C
Well, I'm a kid with a guitar trying to play nuages when they ask
F             Ab        C  
Where does your style come from
  C                       F           C  
I know what you mean 'cause I learned to sing
F              G           C  
Listening to blue yodel number one
   Am                     Em                           F   
We love Hank and Lefty, Bob Wills, Ernest Tubb and Johnny Cash
       Dm                                                 G
But if we had to pin point the star of who we are we'd  go back


Chorus - 
     F       C    G       C
To Django and Jimmie Paris Mississippi
   F           C         G        
A young singing brakeman, a jazz playing gypsy
      F            C      E        F 
There might not have been a Merle or a Willie
   Dm     G         C       	 Dm C Dm
If not for Django and Jimmie

               C                        F     G        C
Through the twenties and thirties Jimmie sang his way to the top
     F          Ab    C 
In spite of those old TB blues
   C                       F     C  
Django was a star, he burned up a guitar
  F              G        C  
With just two good fingers to use
      Am                  Em                  F   
You can't turn back time or put more sand in the glass
       Dm                                    G
But sometimes at night, I close my eyes and go back
