Waylon Jennings - A Couple More Years (corrected) guitar chord

A Couple More Years

written by Shel Silverstein and Dennis Locorriere

from the album "Are You Ready For The Country"

Corrections welcome. tabbed 6/2/05

NOTE: 7th chords optional; I like the sound, but I don't think he actually plays them in

the recording.

INTRO: A

A E

Now I've got a couple more years on you babe and that's all

E7 A

I've had more chances to fly and more places to fall

A7 D

It's not that I'm wiser it's just that I've spent more time with my back to the wall

E A

And I've picked up a couple more years on you babe and that's all

Now I've walked a couple more roads than you babe and that's all

And I'm tired of running while you're only learning to crawl

And you're going somewhere but I've been to somewhere and found it was nowhere at all

And I've picked up a couple more years on you babe and that's all

BREAK (A E A)

Sayin' goodbye girl don't ever come easy at all

But you gotta fly 'cause you're hearin' them young eagles call

Someday when you're older you'll smile at a man strong and tall

And say I've got a couple more years on you babe and that's all, you'll say

I've got a couple more years on you babe and that's all

I've had more chances to fly and more places to fall

It's not that I'm wiser it's just that I've spent more time with my back to the wall

And picked up a couple more years on you babe and that's all
