Pass me that joint, it's Willie's birthday
A
Wipe away all of your tears
A
Well, the world's gone crazy, but we still got Willie
D
And all the good things he's done for us here
[Verse 1]
D
It was '75, the time of the preacher
A
When the red-headed stranger appeared
Rode into town, blue eyes a-shinin'
D
His memories measured in tears
[Refrain]
G D
Hey Nashville, hey, Austin, he's playing the songs we hold dear
D A
Now, for all of these years
[Chorus]
D
So pass me that joint, it's Willie's birthday
A
Wipe away all of your tears
A
Now, the world's gone crazy, but we still got Willie
D
And all the good things he's done for us here
HARMONIC G O D A
[Verse 2]
D
Now Shotgun Willie wades through whiskey rivers
A
Living in the promised land
A
His heroes are cowboys, the songs they're a-singin'
D
Bring joy and laughter again
[Refrain]
G D
Hey, Georgia, New Orleans, this song's for your native son
D A
And all that he's done
[Chorus]

So pass me that joint, it's Willie's birthday

Wipe away all of your tears
Now, the world's gone crazy, but we still got Willie
