Manny's Hat Song
Jerry Jeff Walker
[Verse 1]
C
Manny was a maker of hats, Manny was much more than that
F G C
He was the kind of guy, you and I would want for a friend
C
Manny was a regular guy, with an old soul look in his eye
F G C
He was a man of word, and true to himself to the end
[Chorus]
F G C
Manny loved to laugh and share a good story or two
F G C
If he's a making you a hat, he needs to know some things about you
F G C C/B Am
He'd say, "Set yourself down, tell us what you're thinking about
F G
Your hat says something about you, 'fore you even open your mouth"
[Verse 2]
C
Manny had a funky hat shop, south of town where everyone stopped
F G C
To sit and chat, get a hat, and maybe get a new attitude
C
He loved to sit up front and greet folks, take their measurements and laugh at their jokes
F G C
You couldn't stop by without staying there all afternoon
C
His wife Norma she sat in the back, sewing sweatbands in all of his hats
F G C
She listened to the radio, some times I'd sing her a tune
[Chorus]
F G C
Manny loved to laugh and share a good story or two
F G C
If he's a making you a hat, he needs to know some things about you
F G C C/B Am
He'd say, "Set yourself down, tell us what you're thinking about
F G
Your hat says something about you, 'fore you even open your mouth"
[Verse 3]
C
He made hats for a lot of great men but none were finer then he made for a friend
F G C
He made 'em the old way, steamed, and creased 'em by hand
C
He'd take your old hat and make her brand new, he'd shape it any way you wanted him too
F G C
He'd fix it up fine with a porcupine-beaded hatband
C
You know his hats were worn all over the world, by real cowboy, women's and pearls
F G C
He even made one for me he jokingly called "the old friend"
Bridge:
Am Em F C
Well when old friends disappear, I sometimes wonder where
Am Em C G
I'd like to think maybe there just somewhere round the bend
Am Em F C
But Manny's in heaven I bet, I'll go you one better yet
F C F G
I'll bet money John B. and Manny are talking God into a hat
[Verse 4]
C
Old Manny used to take me aside, he'd say Jerry Jeff you know how to write
F G C
Why don't you make up a hat song and do it just the way that you do
C
Well now that old Manny has gone, I finally made him up Manny's hat song
F G C
'Cause it's the best way to keep your old friend alive in a room
[Chorus]
