Hard Luck Ace  
Recorded by Lacy J. Dalton
Written by Aaron Anderson and Lacy J. Dalton

C                              F  C
On a cold and foggy evening in 1959
                D#7             C
Waylon Jennings nearly lost his life
                                      F             C
The Big Bopper talked the outlaw into giving up his seat
                 A#7              C
With Buddy Holly on that midnight flight
 
         F                                C
Well the paper said it must have been the snowstorm
   F                           C
Or that the pilot made a grave mistake
         F                  D#7           F               C
Well the rest all died that night but the lone wolf he survived
                       A#7               C
And I say hat's off to another hard luck ace
 
                                 F         C
We were on the road with Haggard back in '85
                        D#7            C
The year they wrote The Amber Waves of Grain
                           F               C
The Okie from Muskogee was speaking for us all
                           A#7               C
When he wrote that song to bring the farmers aid

    F                                   C
But just last month I heard that he got tired
    F                                C
And went away to rest and write some place
     F                  D#7         F           C
Tell Merle we're on his side 祖ause he and Mama Tried
                       A#7               C
And I say hat's off to another hard luck ace
 
F                            C
Some of them are with us and some of them are gone
A#7                                  G7
Some of them are out there somewhere barely hanging on
F                         C
Each one is a treasure no one can take his place
                       A#7               C
And I say hat's off to another hard luck ace
 
                              F            C
I remember meeting Janis in a bar in Santa Cruz
                  D#7          C
With a dealer she pretended to ignore
                                            F                  C
She was swiggin' southern comfort and every time her glass ran low
                   A#7                 C
The man behind the bar poured out some more
 
      F                                 C
And I saw the dealer slip her something quickly
        F                                C
Do you 壮pose he knew she had no time to waste
             F                D#7      F                  C
And when she stumbled for the door and revved up that old Porsche
                         A#7               C
Well I said hat's off to another hard luck ace
 
                  F             C
They say Hank Jr. fell off of a mountain
                D#7             C
Said he'd never walk or sing no more
                                     F                      C
Well the devil made the deal but you don't cheat the man of steel
                     A#7         C
And Hank just had to even up the score
 
    F                          C
Now some called it a family tradition
F                                 C
Others say that he just fell from grace
                F            D#7           F            C
Well you should see Bocephus now Lord he'd do his daddy proud
                       A#7               C
And I say hat's off to another hard luck ace

Repeat #5

             F                 C
Hat's off to another hard luck ace
F         C
Hard luck ace
