The Night Hank Williams Died

     Em
On a lonely two lane highway somewhere outside a town
  D                       C             Em
A man full of misery in a bottle he did drown
   Em
He lost a spark that had lived he lost the will to fight
  D                               C                   Em
A legend left a footprint that no one could fill that night


In a Cadillac of baby blue part of music passed away
Headed to the country show that he never gave 
When it was announced the world did start to cry 


Chorus:
Am                         Em
You can hear the hurt, yes you can feel the pain 
   Am                            B7
In every line of every song that he would play and sing 
  Em
a man my have his demons but he’s still got good inside 
   D                              C                   Em 
we lost the music and the man the night Hank Williams died


For the small time he was with we were left with so much 
He made the music what it was with his own special touch 
We were left with a blessing the night Hank Williams died

Chorus

So if your down in Alabama go stop by and see 
The stone of Hiram Williams put up in 53 
Figure out his age it’ll come up 29 
So long ago but still we know the night hank Williams died
