Biografía:
James McMurtry, born March 18, 1962, Fort Worth, Texas, is an American rock and folk-rock/americana singer, songwriter, guitarist, bandleader and occasional actor (Daisy Miller, Lonesome Dove). He performs with veteran bandmates and rhythm section The Heartless Bastards.
His father, novelist Larry McMurtry, gave him his first guitar at age seven. His mother, an English professor, taught him how to play it: "My mother taught me three chords and the rest I just stole as I went along. I learned everything by ear or by watching people."

Album: Childish Things
Capo 2nd fret
G C G
Mama keeps tryin? to get the game on the radio
D/F# G
Daddy?s gotta know the score
C G
There?s a big yellow thing on a flat bed trailer
D/F# G
Wonder what that thing?s for
G C G
We got towels rolled up in the back seat window
D/F# G
Keeping us out of the sun
C G
Just a hundred more miles and we?ll be at grand ma?s
D/F# G
Sure is gonna be fun
G C G
Maybe she?ll take us fish in?
D/F# G
Maybe she?ll bake us a pie
C G
Remember like she did that one time
D/F# G
Back before grandpa died
C G
It?s Memorial Day in America
D/F# G
Everybody?s on the road
C G
Let?s remember our fallen heroes
D/F# G
Y?all be sure and drive slow
G C G
Ninety eight degrees in the shade of the tool shed
D/F# G
Can?t go back in the house
C G
They?re all in the kitchen yellin? ?bout some thing
D/F# G
Don?t know what it?s about
G C G
Joey ?n Mary said not to worry
D/F# G
Said it?s just the same old fight
C G
Happens whenever they all get together
D/F# G
Everything?s really alright
C G
It?s Memorial Day in America
D/F# G
This is how it?s supposed to be
C G
Let?s remember our fallen heroes
D/F# G
In the land of the free
G C G
Daddy?s in the big chair sippin? on a cold beer
D/F# G
Grandma?s cuttin? a switch
C G
She overheard Mary cussin? her brother
D/F# G
Called him a son of a b***h
C G
She got a good green limb off a sweet gum sapling
D/F# G
Man that?s bound to sting
C G
But Mary don?t cry just stands there and takes it
D/F# G
Doesn?t seem to feel a thing
G C G
No Mary don?t cry, you know she?s a big girl
D/F# G
Wonder what made her so mad
C G
She takes those licks looking in through the den door
D/F# G
Staring right straight at her dad
Fiddle solo..
G C G
There?s a big yellow thing on a flat bed trailer
D/F# G
Daddy nearly hit that bird
They?re both in the front seat
C G
Starin? right straight ahead
D/F# G
Neither one saying a word
G C G
The sun?s going down in the rear view mirror
D/F# G
Gonna be driving all night
C G
Wonder if the neighbor?s fed the canary
D/F# G
Wonder if the cat?s alright
C G
It?s Memorial Day in America
D/F# G
Everybody?s on the road
C G
Let?s remember our fallen heroes
D/F# G
Y?all be sure and drive slow
