Johnny Cash - The Night Hank Williams Came To Town: chords

 D                         G
Harry Truman was our president
   A                               D
A coke and burger cost you thirty cents
                                 G
I was still in love with Mavis Brown
D                  A                D
On the night Hank Williams came to town

                       G
I Love Lucy debuted on TV
      A                           D
That was one big event we didn't see
                                        G
Cause no one stayed at home for miles around
D                      A                D
It was the night Hank Williams came to town

 G                               D
Momma ironed my shirt and daddy let me take the truck
    E                            A
I drove on out to Grapevine and picked old Mavis up
 D                                     G
We hit that county line for one quick round
D                  A                D
On the night Hank Williams came to town

                                    G
A thousand people sweltered in the gym
     A                                   D
Then I heard someone whisper hey that's him
                                              G
That's when the crowd let out this deafening sound
D                      A                D
It was the night Hank Williams came to town

                            G
On and on he sang into the night
    A                                 D
Jambalaya, Cheating Heart, I Saw the light
                                    G
How'd they get Miss Audrey in that gown
D                  A                D
On the night Hank Williams came to town

G                                D
Mavis had her picture made with Hank out by his car
E                                 A
She said he sure is humble for a Grand Ole Opry star
D                              G
Mavis said why don't we hang around
D                         A                 D
It ain't often that Hank Williams comes to town

G                                   D
While Hank signed his autograph on Beaulah Rizner's fan
E                               A
Mavis got acquainted with the Drifting Cowboys Band
D                                       G
The effect on all our lives was quite profound
D                  A                D
On the night Hank Williams came to town
