'You Never Even Call Me By My Name' by David Allan Coe - Guitar Tutorial

              G                  D  
It was all that I could do 
              G  
to keep from cryin' 
     C                              G  
sometimes it seems so useless to remain 
 C                                      G  
But you don't have to call me darlin', darlin' 
     G            D               G  
You never even call me by my name. 
 
 G                D                   G  
You don't have to call me Waylon Jennings 
     G                   D                 G  
And you don't have to call me Charlie Pride. 
 C                               G                   Em  
And you don't have to call me Merle Haggard, anymore. 
 A                                 D  
Even though your on my fightin' side. 
 
CHORUS:
          C                                 G  
And I'll hang around as long as you will let me 
       G              D                 G  
And I never minded standin' in the rain. 
 C                                      G  
But you don't have to call me darlin', darlin' 
     G            D               G  
You never even call me by my name  
 
I've heard my name a few times in your phone book 
I've seen it on signs where I've played 
But the only time I know, I'll hear David Allan Coe 
Is when Jesus has his final judgement day 
  
CHORUS: 
 G                                                       D  
Well a friend of mine named Steve Goodman wrote that song 
and he told me it was  
the perfect country and western song. I wrote him back 
a letter and I told him  
                                           G  
it was not the perfect country and western song 
because he hadn't said anything  
      D                         G                    D  
at all about momma...or trains...or trucks...or prison...
or gettin' drunk.  
              G  
Well, he sat down and wrote another verse to the song 
and he sent it to me and  
after reading it I realized that my friend had written 
the perfect country and  
western song. And I felt obliged to include it 
on this album...last verse goes   
like this here   
 
Well, I was drunk the day my Mom got outta prison. 
And I went to pick her up in the rain. 
But, before I could get to the station in my pickup truck 
She got runned over by a damned old train. 
 
CHORUS: 
So I'll hang around as long as you will let me 
And I never minded standin' in the rain. No, 
You don't have to call me darlin', darlin'    
 G                D                  G                      C  
You never even call me, Well, I wonder why you don't call me 
     G                D            C  G  
Why don't you ever call me by my name.
