E        B            E

                        E
Di joh dit zhay dit par bon
E                          B7
I got a house on stilts, a five dollar bill
                          E
A settin' on the banks of muddy muddy bayou
                    B7
Lot better than the streets of crowded cars
                                  E
Pawn shops, friendly neighborhood bars
E
Ah but your mama and your papa won't let me come courtin'
     B7                                        E
They says I can't make a good livin' for their child
E
Ah but the fish bites good, the crawfish are plenty
      B7                                     E
Gonna make a lot of money when I take a city bride
E                             B7
I got a paint can't run, your pappy's got a big dog
                          E
Snappin' at my heels, get away you mangy hound
E                              B7
Light's still burning, and the ladder by the window
                                 E
Take a chance gonna make another round
E
Ah but your mama and your papa won't let me come courtin'
     B7                                        E
They says I can't make a good livin' for their child
E
Ah but the fish bites good, the crawfish are plenty
      B7                                     E
Gonna make a lot of money when I take a city bride
E
Yea but your mama and your papa won't let me come courtin'
     B7                                        E
They says I can't make a good livin' for their child
E
Ah but the fish bites good, the crawfish are plenty
      B7                                     E
Gonna make a lot of money when I take a city bride

Gene Parsons   Monument  written by Gene Parsons

G                                              C     D    G
I got a pig at home in a pen and I got corn to feed him
G                                                    C     D   G
I got a dog at home in the yard and I got a stick to tease him
          D                             C                 G
But we're trying to build a monument to show that we were here
            C                   G        C                  G
It won't be visible through the air, and there won't be any shade
C                         D                  G
To cool the monument, to prove that we were here
G                                           C      D    G
I got a banjo and a wife and I got songs to please her
G                                                        C        D  G
I got a little old house of trees and I got the moon and stars to see
          D                             C                 G

Gene Parsons     Long Way Back     written by Gene Parsons

            C#m                   F#
Well it's a long way back to the things I know are real
           B                                      E
And it's a long way back to the things that I can feel
           C#m                F#
And it's a long way back to a green and growing tree
           B                                   E
And it's a long way back to what there used to be
       A                 G#m             F#m               E
I been troublin', I been troublin' about all the things I hear
       A                 C#m       F#m                        B
I been troublin', I been troublin' about the earth's progress career
      C#m                         F#
And I travelled that road just as often as I can
B                                                            E
Just to spend an hour or lifetime, to walk barefooted on the land
      C#m                         F#
And I travelled that road even if it's in my mind
B                                      E
To a place that's fit for every living kind^?
       A                  G#m             F#m             E
I been troublin', I been troublin' about all there is to do
       A                 C#m                F#m                B
I been troublin', I been troublin' 'cause I know the waiting's through
