[Verse]
  Dm
I think I liked it better
  G                  G
When I was just a fan
  C
I played those ol' scratched up records
         Dm  Dsus2
Of the Drifting Cowboys Band
  Dm
When he was just a legend
    G
And they were only songs
    C                                      Dm
But now I find myself on the same Lost Highway he was on
                    Bb
All because of you
      A
Honey thanks
F                                 Dm
'Cause now I'm understandin' Hank

              A
Yeah it's the bottle, it's a Cold Cold Heart
        G
It's livin' just to die
              A
Its the Lovesick Blues, gettin' over you
        G
I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry
   F                                       C
A ramblin' man with a midnight train rollin' through his veins
              Bb                                  C
From the life he lived down to every song he sing
                      Dm  Dsus2  G    Dm  Dsus2  G
I'm understandin' Hank

   Dm                                     C
I'm just like that hollowed soul underneath the nudie suit
   G                                                   Dm
I know what he meant when he sang I Can't Help It If I'm Still in Love With You
                                                   G
And I can feel the beat of Your Cheatin' Heart as I lie alone at night
   C
Now every note Hank Williams ever moaned
   Dm                                     Bb
It tears me up inside all because of you
               A
Yeah honey thanks
                                 Dm
'Cause now I'm understandin' Hank

    A
Yeah it's the bottle, it's a Cold Cold Heart
    G
It's livin' just to die
    A
Its the Lovesick Blues, gettin' over you
    G
I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry
    Dm                                     C
A ramblin' man with a midnight train rollin' through his veins
         A                                        C
From the life he lived down to every song he sing
                      Dm  Dsus2  Dm
I'm understandin' Hank

    F
If there's one thing you've given me
    C
It's a chance to fill the seam
    G                               A
As my hero, his sad songs and his pain

   Dm                                     C
A ramblin' man with a midnight train rollin' through his veins
          Bb                                      C
From the life he lived down to every song he sing
  N.C.                                    Dm     G
God knows, I'm finally understandin' Hank
  N.C.                     Dm     G
I'm understandin' Hank
                  Dm     G
Mmmmm  Mmmmmmm
