Am                      G
I got a sister out in Charlotte

Am                                    G
I love her cause she's crazy in her head

Am                      G     
I got a brother he's a pilot

Am           G      D  
Sometimes I pray I'll just see him again

Am                         G   				
My father told me once he said son

Am                         G
Only a fool stays out at night

Am                        G
Well it's 4 a.m. and I'm out here on the boulevard

Am         G             D 
I got no money but you know I'm doin' alright



CHORUS

                  G
Yeah, you gotta know

              Cadd9 
There ain't nothin' bout money

        G                     Cadd9 
That's ever gonna save your soul.

           G
And the dreams of the young

       Cadd9
Have never been nothing

         G                   Cadd9
But the last request of the old.

Am                       D
Heaven is a fiddle on a late night radio.

Am
You can't find redemption,

D
Brother if ya got no soul.

           G      Cadd9     G     Cadd9		 
You Gotta Know.


Am                            G
Her name was Amy, she was a friend of mine

Am              G 
Wanted to be a rich man's wife

Am                      G
She fell in love with cars and expensive wine

Am                G            D    
She must have forgot what it means to live her life


REPEAT CHORUS

Am                     G
Weathered hands on a steel guitar

Am                                 G
He plays every evening till they turn them bar lights down

Am                             G
You know he's tired of them dammed old cigarettes

Am         G                            D
Now he's saving up his money so he can move on out of town


REPEAT CHORUS (2X)
