 G                                A#  
I was thumbin' back from Montgomery  
 A#  
with a guitar on my back 
 C                                             G  
When a stranger pulled up beside me in an antique Cadillac. 
 G                                       A#  
Well, he was dressed like 1950, half drunk and hallow eyed 
 C                                                 G  
Its a long walk to Nashville, would you like a ride, son. 
 G                                      A#  
He sat down in the front seat, and turned on the radio 
           C                                               G  
and them sad old songs comin' outta them speakers was solid 
country gold. 
  G                                          A#  
Then I noticed the stranger was ghost white pale 
when he asked me for a light. 
      C                                             G  
And knew there was somethin' strange about this ride. 
 
CHORUS: 
            F                          C                   G  
He said: Mister can you make folks cry when you play and sang. 
  G  
Can you pay your dues, can you moan the blues 
          D  
Can you bend them guitar strangs. 
           F                         C                  G  
He said: Boy, can you make folks feel what you feel inside, 
                F                       C                    G  
Cause if your big star bound let me warn you its a long hard ride. 
 
2. Well, he cried just south of Nashville, 
and he turned that car around. 
he said: (spoken) this is where you get off, boy  
cause I'm going back to Alabam'. 
I stepped out of that ole Cadillac and I said Mister, many thanks. 
he said you don't have to call me mister, Mister. 
The whole world calls me Hank.
