tom: C Intro: C C G7 C Well it was all that I could do to keep from cryin' [Primeira Parte] F C Sometimes it seemed so useless to remain F C But you don't have to call me darlin', darlin' C G C G7 You never even call me by my name [Segunda Parte] C G C You don't have to call me Waylon Jennings C G C C7 And you don't have to call me Charley Pride F C Am And you don't have to call me Merle Haggard anymore D7 G G7 Even though you're on my fightin' side [Refrão] F7M C And I'll hang around as long as you will let me G C C7 and I never minded standing in the rain F7M C But you don't have to call me darlin', darlin' C G C G You never even call me by my name [Terceira Parte] C G C Well I've heard my name a few times in your phonebook (hello hello) C G C C7 And I've seen it on signs where I've played F C Am But the only time I know I'll hear David Allan Coe D7 G G7 Is when Jesus has his final judgement day [Refrão] F7M C So I'll hang around as long as you will let me G C C7 and I never minded standing in the rain F7M C But you don't have to call me darlin', darlin' C G C G You never even call me by my name [Ponte] C Well a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song G And he told me it was the perfect country and western song. I wrote him back a letter and told him It was not the perfect country and western song C Because he hadn't said anything at all about mama G C G Or trains or trucks or prison or gettin' drunk C Well he sat down and wrote another verse to the song and he sent it to me and after reading it I realized that my friend had written the perfect country and western song. And I felt obliged to include it on this album. The last verse goes like this here: [Quarta Parte] C G C Well I was drunk the day my mom got out of prison C G C C7 And I went to pick her up in the rain F C Am But before I could get to the station in a pickup truck D7 G G7 She got run'd over by a damned old train [Refrão] F7M C So I'll hang around as long as you will let me G C C7 and I never minded standing in the rain F7M C But you don't have to call me darlin', darlin' C G You never even call me C F Well I wonder why you don't call me C G F7M C Why don't you ever call me by my name?
