E Harry Truman was our presiAdent
A B7 coke an burger cost you thirty E cents
I was still in love with Mavis A Brown
E On the night Hank B7 Williams came to E town.

E "I Love Lucy" debuted on Tee A Vee
That was B7 one big event we didn't E see
'Cause no one stayed at home for miles aAround
It E was the night Hank B7 Williams came to E town.

A Mama ironed my shirt and daddy E let me take the truck
I Fis drove on out to Grapevine and B7 picked old Mavis up
We E hit that county line for one quick A round
E On the night HANK B7 WILLIAMS came to E town.

E A thousand people sweltered in the A gym
Then I B7 heard someone whisper; "Hey, that's E him"
That's when the crowd let out this deafening A sound
It E was the night Hank B7 Williams came to E town.

CHANGE TO G:
G On and on he sang into the C night
'JambaD7laya', 'Cheatin' heart', 'I saw the G light'
How'd they get Miss Audrey in that C gown
G On the night Hank D7 Williams came to C town.

C Mavis had her picture made with G Hank outside his car
She A said; "He sure is humble for a D7 Grand Ole Opry Star."
Ma-G vis said: "Why don't we hang aCround
It ain't G often that Hank D7 Williams comes to G town."

While C Hank signed his autograph on G (*Beaulah Rice's) fan
Ma-A vis got acquainted with the D7 Driftin' Cowboys Band
The G effect on all our lives was quite proCfound ...[P]
On the night Hank Williams came to town.
