D G A D
Well, I'm a kid with a guitar trying to play Nuanges whenever they ask
G Bb D
Where does your style come from
D G D
I know what you mean 'cause I learned to sing
G A D
Listening to blue yodel number one
Bm F#m G
We love Hank and Lefty, Bob Wills, Ernest Tubb and Johnny Cash
Em A
But if we had to pin point the start of who we are or we go by
Chorus:
G D A D
That Django and Jimmie has Mississippi
G D A
A young singing brakeman, a jazz playing gypsy
G D F# G
There might not have been a Merle or a Willie
Em A D Em D Em
If not for Django and Jimmie
Through the twenties and thirties Jimmie sang his way to the top
In spite of those old TB blues
Django was a star, he burned up a guitar
With just two good fingers to use
You can't turn back time or put more sand in the glass
But sometimes at night, I close my eyes and go back
Chorus
