[Verse 1]
    C                    G7              C    C7
I remember the year that Clayton Delaney died
     F                                                C     C7
They said for the last two weeks that he suffered and cried
   F                                                      C
It made a big impression on me, although I was a barefoot kid
                                 G7                       C
They said he got religion at the end and I'm glad that he did

[Verse 2]
C                       G7                C    C7
Clayton was the best guitar picker in our town
  F                                                   C
I thought he was a hero and I used to follow Clayton around
  F                                                 C
I often wondered why Clayton, who seemed so good to me
                          G7                     C
Never took his guitar and made it down in Tenn-o-see

[Verse 3]
      C                              G7                 C     C7
Well, Daddy said he drank a lot, but I could never understand
  F                                                 C    C7
I knew he used to pick up in Ohio with a five-piece band
F                                                              C
Clayton used to tell me, "Son, you better put that old guitar away
                                  G7                   C
There ain't no money in it. It'll lead you to an early grave"

[Verse 4]
  C                      G7                             C     C7
I guess if I'd admit it, Clayton taught me how to drink booze
F                                                     C     C7
I can see him half-stoned, a-pickin' out the lovesick blues
     F                                                            C
When Clayton died, I made him a promise, I was gonna carry on somehow
                              G7                   C
I'd give a hundred dollars if he could only see me now

[Verse 5]
    C                    G7              C    C7
I remember the year that Clayton Delaney died
  F                                                    C     C7
Nobody ever knew it, but I went out in the woods and I cried
        F                                                               C
Well, I know there's a lot of big preachers that know a lot more than I do
                                   G7                     C
But it could be that the good Lord likes a little picking too

[Outro]
          C                    G7              C
Yeah, I remember the year that Clayton Delaney died
