Waylon Jennings - GI Joe guitar chord

Verse 1:

G C/G G

Well he smoked those Camel cigarettes about three packs a day

D

Nicotine stains on his fingers when he'd stretch them out to play

G C/G G

That old "Midnight special" is one he loved to do

D G

Then he'd sing "I'm walking the floor over you"

Verse 2:

G C/G G

TV preachers and welfare checks for him just had no place

D

But he'd take his time to tune real good when he sang "Amazing grace"

G C/G G

He'd say boys i'm old and crazy but i still give a damn

D G

And i still think the boys got screwed over in Vietnam

Chorus:

C/G G

He'd drag out that old uniform

D G

And say "they used to call me slim"

C/G G

He never could get it buttoned up

D

But the pride looked good on him

G

He still feels the way he felt

C/G G

Over forty years ago

D

Here's to the old man

G

Here's to G.I. Joe

Verse 3:

G C/G G

He only sang the old songs,he's standing still in time

D G

"My Phillipino baby",right there on his mind

C/G G

Then he'd talk about the big one,the war we didn't lose

D G

He'd pick a little bit like Travis "Re-Enlistment blues"

Chorus.

G D

Here's to my old man

G

And all the G.I. Joe's
