Waitin Around To Die by Townes Van Zandt - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Townes Van Zandt Song List

Version 1 Version 2 Version 3

                 C#m
Sometimes I don't know where
            F#m
this dirty road is taking me
     C#m                              G#7
sometimes I can't even see the reason why
    C#m
I guess I keep a-gamblin'
         F#m
lots of booze and lots of ramblin'
      C#m             G#7              C#m
it's easier than just waitin' around to die

C#m                          F#m
One-time friends I had a ma, I even had a pa
    C#m                                 G#7
He beat her with a belt once cause she cried
        C#m
She told him to take care of me
          F#m
She headed down to Tennessee
      C#m               G#7               C#m
It's easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die

C#m                                 F#m
I came of age and found a girl in a Tuscaloosa bar
    C#m                                G#7
She cleaned me out and hit it on the sly
  C#m
I tried to kill the pain
              F#m
I bought some wine and hopped a train
       C#m                G#7               C#m
Seemed easier than just a-waitin' 'round to die

C#m                              F#m
A friend said he knew where some easy money was
    C#m                            G#7
We robbed a man and brother did we fly
    C#m
The posse caught up with me
        F#m
Drug me back to Muskogee
     C#m                    G#7               C#m
It's two long years, just a-waitin' 'round to die

C#m                      F#m
Now I'm out of prison, I got me a friend at last
C#m                                 G#7
He don't steal or cheat or drink or lie
    C#m
His name's codeine
         F#m
He's the nicest thing I've seen
  C#m                G#7             C#m
Together we're gonna wait around and die
  C#m                G#7             C#m
Together we're gonna wait around and die
