Subject: I’D STILL WANT YOU
I’D STILL WANT YOU
Words and music by Hank Williams, Sr.
[G] I could shame you ’til you hide your face
And drag you right down in disgrace
But what good would it [D] do
I know I’d still want [G] you.
I could tell the world you’re doin’ wrong
That I was stringin’ you along
And if it all were [D] true
I know I’d still want [G] you.
The [C] world with me might sympathize
[G] When I got thru with all my lies
But I’d be just as [D] blue
‘Cause my heart would still want [G] you-ooo-oo
[D] Cry, oh, [G] lord.
I could tell my friends I threw you down
And slander your name all over town
But what good would it do
I know I’d still want you.
If I said I’m happy to be free
The only one I’d fool is me
Because it isn’t true
I know I’d still want you.
What’s the use to say that you’re no good
When I’d crawl back if I could
No matter what you do
I know I’d still want you-ooo-oo
Cry, oh, lord.
I could smIle and say that I don’t care
And then go home and pull my hair
But what good would it do
I know I’d still want you.
I could say that someone put me wise
And get revenge by telling lies
But when I got all thru
I know I’d still want you.
If the things I said was to break your heart
I’d be the first to take your part
‘Cause if all these lies were true
I know I’d still want you-oooo-oo
Cry, oh, lord.

WEARY BLUES (From Waitin’)
Words and music by Hank Williams, Sr.
CAPO: 3rd FRET KEY: F PLAY: D
The [D] snow falls [G] ’round my [D] window
But [G] it can’t chill my [D] heart
God [G] knows it died the [D] day you left
My dream world [A7] fell a-[D] part.
CHORUS
Weary [D] blu-ue-ue [G] ues from [D] waitin’
Lord, I’ve been [E7] waitin’ too [A7] long
These [D] blues have [G] got me [D] cryin’
Oh, sweet ma-a-ma, [A7] please come [D] home.
Thru tears I watch young lovers
As they go strollin’ by
Oh, all the things that might have been
God forgive me if I cry.
CHORUS
Note. Hank Williams — I’m Blue Inside
