KRIS KRISTOFFERSON - Fighter guitar chord

Fighter

K. Kristofferson

Live From Austin City Limits: Outlaw Country

INTRO: A

A

I seen an old fighter, tired and in trouble

E

Who just couldn't take anymore

E

Somethin' inside him kept fightin' to finish

A

With only his feet on the floor

A

But I know that it's worth any price you could pay

D

To see truth in whatever disguise

E

And I'd have paid double for one look of pleasure

A

Or a piece of relief in his eyes

CHORUS:

D A

Ain't that clown laughin' like crazy

E A

Ain't his eyes empty and deep

D A

Don't he sound sad as a baby

E A

When she cries out in her sleep

We measured the space between Waylon and Willie

And Willie and Waylon and me

But there wasn't nothin' like Billy Joe Shaver

Where Billy Joe Shaver should be

When he showed up sick later all bit by a spider

Crazy to look in the eye

Put on a show that was as sad as it should've been

Nobody even knew why

CHORUS
