The Troublemaker
Written by Bruce Belland & Dave Somerville
Recorded by Willie Nelson
(G) I could tell the moment that I (Bm)saw him, (Am)
He was (G)nothing but the troublemaking (D/A)kind
His (C)hair was much too (Bm)long and his (C)motley group of (Bm)friends
(F) Had nothing but rebellion on (Am)their minds (Ab)
(G) He's rejected the establishment com-(Bm)pletely (Am) (Ab)
(G) And I know for sure he's never held a (D/A)job
(C) He just goes from town to (Bm)town, (C) stirring up the (Bm)young folks
(F) 'Til they're nothing but a (Am)disrespect-(Ab)ful (G)mob
And I (G/D)know for sure (D/A) he's never joined the (A)army
And served his country like we all have (D/A)done
He'd (D/A)rather wear his sandals and his (A)flowers
While others wage the war that must be (D)won (Bb) (A) (Ab)
They ar-(G)rested him last week and found him (Bm)guilty (Am) (Ab)
(G) And sentenced him to die (Bm) but that's no great (Am)loss
(C) Friday they will (Bm)take him to a (C)place called Calva-(Bm)ry
(F) And hang that troublemaker to a cross, hmm hmm (G) -----
