Waylon Jennings - Rough On The Living Chords

D
His picture was in all the papers
 
They said that a legend had passed
    G
The late evening news did a special report
                                D
And swore that his memory would last
 
        D
They're playing his records all weekend
                          G
Praising the life that he lived
                          D
Nashville is rough on the living
        A7                        D
But she really speaks well of the dead
 
    D
The wife that they interviewed crying
 
Is the same one who left him last fall
        G
And the record producer who called him a hero
                                   D
Is the one who wouldn't answer his calls
 
    D
The ladies they sit over coffee
                          G
Bragging bout sharing his bed
                                      D
They didn't want him around when he's living
         A7                           D
But he's sure a good friend when he's dead
 
     G                          D
They observed twenty seconds of silence
       A7               D
At the Opry on Saturday night
    G                                  D
And they're searching the bars and the basements
    E7                   A7
For some souvenir of his life
 
        D
They're planning a book for September
 
Showing his plain country roots
            G
Any they're selling the rights to the movie
                                   D
And the Hall of Fame's getting his boots
 
       D
At the funeral somebody recited a poem
                              G
That told how he suffered and bled
                          D
Nashville is rough on the living
        A                         D
But she really speaks well of the dead
 
     G                         D
Yeah Nashville is rough on the living
        A                         D
But she really speaks well of the dead
