Darrell Scott There Ain’t No Easy Way written by Darrell Scott
Tim O’Brien

Won’t you listen to my story I gotta a tale to tell it’s
About a man who gets caught somewhere between heaven and hell
Yea the man’s in anguish I guess you could say
There ain’t [C/B]no [C/A] eas[C/G]y way
Well when I was young boy I learned to play the guitar
It was me and old Jim Beam down at the local bar
Yea I lost my childhood but I earned me a trade
Now there ain’t [C/B]no [C/A] eas[C/G]y way
I found me a woman I gave her heart and soul
I nearly lost my mind thru it all yeah she took control
She gave me a baby child then she took it away
There ain’t [C/B]no [C/A] ea[C/G]sy way
I prayed to the father to the moon and the sun
I prayed to anyone or anything that could get the job done
I hear different voices but the words are the same
There ain’t [C/B]no [C/A] ea[C/G]sy way
I went to this doctor to see what my trouble might be
And I was looking at the bottom of his shoe while he was looking at me
We sat there in silence but what I wanted to say
I wanted to say

SOLO

When it’s all over and my grave you stand
Try to think of something good to say
About this no good man
Please do me a favor won’t you write on my grave
There ain’t [C/B]no [C/A] ea[C/G]sy way

Darrell Scott Weary Blues From Waiting written by Hank Williams
Tim O’Brien

Weary blues from waitin’
Lord, I’ve been waitin’ too long
Weary blues have got me cryin’
Oh, sweet mamma won’t you please come home
The wind whips ‘round my window
But it can’t chill this heart
God knows it died the day you left
My dream world fell a part
Weary blues from waitin’
Lord, I’ve been waitin’ too long
Weary blues have got me cryin’
Oh, sweet mamma won’t you please come home

SOLO

Thru tears I watch young lovers
As they go driftin by
I think of all the things that might have been
God forgive me if I cry
Weary blues from waitin’
Lord, I’ve been waitin’ too long
Weary blues have got me cryin’
Oh, sweet mamma won’t you please come home
Weary blues have got me cryin’
Oh, sweet mamma won’t you please come home
