Hank Williams Jr - Hand Me Down guitar chord

Hank Williams Jr. Hand Me Down

C G D G

G C G

I went down to the country music hall of fame

D

They had asked me to bring them more of daddy’s things

G C G

They said Hank you know, someday you may go in here with him

D G

And I thought about, the note he wrote that I never told no one of them.

G C G

I got songs of his no one has seen and momentos that sure chill

D G D

But that note I found in his guitar case it made me cry like a whippoorwill.

D G D

He said son this my old guitar and it’s for you only to play

E A

And I hope you make it ring and talk in our good ol family way.

D A

And if you make it to the top Bocephus boy ill be so proud

D A D

But listen to me son, when the time comes take this guitar and Hand Me Down.

D G

Hand Me Down, if your weary,

A D

Hand Me Down son, if you get sick or tired

D G

Hand Me Down, when the time comes,

D A

Don’t hang on too long to these sad ol songs,

D G

Hand Me Down

G C G

So I took his note and but it back into his guitar case

A D

And I realized how long, I’ve been on the road and how many showed I have played. G C G

And sometimes late at night standing in front of some big crowd,

D G

I swear I’ve heard him call my name and tell me Hand Me Down.

G C

Hand Me Down, if your weary,

D G

Hand Me Down son, if you just get tired

G C

Hand Me Down my son to your son,

G D G

Teach him all your songs and how his Granddaddy moaned and tell that boy to carry on.

C G D G D G

You teach him all your songs and how his Granddaddy moaned and tell that boy to Hand Me Down.
