verse 1  
            D                          G    A                D 
Well I'm a kid with a guitar trying to play Nuages when they ask.  
G               A#         D 
Where does your style come from?  
D                            G            D 
I know what you mean, 'cause I learned to sing 
G                 A            D 
Listening to Blue Yodel number 1.  
   Bm                       F#m                            G 
We love Hank and Lefty, Bob Wills, Ernest Tubbs and Johnny Cash, 
       Em                                                 A 
but if we had to pinpoint the start of who we are we'd go back.  


   G          D       A         D 
To Django and Jimmie, Paris and Mississippi.  
  G             D           A 
A young singing brakeman, a jazz playing gypsy.  
      G              D      F#         G 
There might not have been a Merle or a Willie, 
   Em      A          D      
if not for Django and Jimmie.

verse 2 
            D             G      A                   D 
Through the 20's and 30's Jimmie sang his way to the top,  
G                A#     D 
despite of those old TB blues.  
D                  G              D 
Django was a star, he burned up a guitar  
G                   A         D 
with just two good fingers to use.  
          Bm                F#m                  G 
You can't turn back time or put more sand in the glass, 
    Em                                         A 
but sometimes at night, I close my eyes and go back... 


   G          D       A         D 
To Django and Jimmie, Paris and Mississippi.  
  G             D           A 
A young singing brakeman, a jazz playing gypsy.  
      G              D      F#         G 
There might not have been a Merle or a Willie, 
   Em      A          D      
if not for Django and Jimmie.  

      G              D      F#         G 
There might not have been a Merle or a Willie, 
   Em      A          D      
if not for Django and Jimmie.
