ÊÊÊ LISTEN, THEY'RE PLAYING MY SONG
ÊÊÊ sung by Waylon Jennings
ÊÊÊ 3/4 time
ÊÊÊ EÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ AÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ EÊ
ÊÊÊ Down the street a baby just cried
ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ B7Ê
ÊÊÊ when he woke up all alone.
ÊÊÊ EÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ AÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ E
ÊÊÊ A train's leaving town and that lonesome old sound,
ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ B7ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ E
ÊÊÊ is chilling me right to the bone.
ÊÊÊ A
ÊÊÊ A song is playing,Ê I can barely hear,
ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ B7
ÊÊÊ about a love that's gone wrong.
ÊÊÊ EÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ AÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ E
ÊÊÊ The freezing rain on my window pane.
ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ B7ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ E
ÊÊÊ Listen, they're playing my song.
ÊÊÊ DÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ GÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ D
ÊÊÊ Taps being played by a soldier's grave.
ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ A7ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ D
ÊÊÊ So sad it torments your soul.
ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ GÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ D
ÊÊÊ Just listen to that north wind moan.
ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ A7ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ D
ÊÊÊ Tonight is so dark and cold.
ÊÊÊ DÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ GÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ D
ÊÊÊ Somewhere a siren cuts through the night.
ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ A7ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ D
ÊÊÊ Sounds like the whole world's gone wrong.
ÊÊÊ DÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ GÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ D
ÊÊÊ Thunder just warned that its coming the storm.
ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ A7ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ D
ÊÊÊ Listen they're playing my song.
