I think I know what got Hank Williams
There was an empti[F]ness that [C]filled him
[G]Sitting in the back
Of that [Dm7]long Cadillac
I think I [C]know what [F]got Hank [Am]Williams[Am-Cadd9-Am7]
CHORUS:
[G]Sometimes the [F]teardrops can't be measured
Sometimes the [Am7]blues have no na[G]me
Sometimes the [Dm7]feeling something's [F]missing
Grabs your [Bb]heart and won't go a[G]way
INTERLUDE: G C F C F
I think I [C]know what [F]took old [C]Johnny

CHORUS:
[G]Sometimes the [F]teardrops can't be measured
