Waitin Around To Die - Townes Van Zandt | Guitar Chords

[Intro]
---------------------
C#m7 | Amaj7/C# | G#m | C#m 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
         C#m
Sometimes  I don't know where
               F#m
This dirty road  is taking me
    C#m                                   G#m
Sometimes I don't even know the reason why
        C#m
I guess I keep agamblin'
             F#m
Lots of booze  and lots of ramblin'
       C#m                   G#m            C#m
It's easier than just waitin'  around to die

[Verse 2]
---------------------
    C#m
One time, friends, I had a ma
F#m
I even had a pa
   C#m                                       G#m
He beat her with a belt once 'cause she cried
            C#m
She told him  to take care of me
           F#m
Headed down  to Tennessee
       C#m                    G#m          C#m
It's easier than just waitin' around to die

[Verse 3]
---------------------
  C#m
I came of age and I found a girl
     F#m
In a Tuscaloosa bar
    C#m                                 G#m
She cleaned me out and hit in on the sly
       C#m                                 F#m
I tried  to kill the pain, bought some wine
And hopped a train
       C#m                     G#m
Seemed easier than just waitin'  around to die

[Interlude]
---------------------
C#m

[Verse 4]
---------------------
        C#m
A friend  said he knew
           F#m
Where some easy money was
         C#m                            G#m
We robbed  a man, and brother did we fly
       C#m
The posse caught up with me
                F#m
And drug me back  to Muskogee
        C#m          G#m                         C#m
It's two  long years I've been waitin' around to die

[Verse 5]
---------------------
C#m
Now I'm out of prison
  F#m
I got me a friend at last
C#m                                    G#m
He don't drink or steal or cheat or lie
          C#m
His name's  Codine
           F#m
He's the nicest thing I've seen
  C#m                               G#m C#m
Together we're gonna wait around and   die
Together we're gonna wait around and die
