Biografia:
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."

[Verse 1]
G/D G/C# G/B
Honey, don't you be yelling at me
G/A G G/F# Em G/A
when I'm cleaning my gun
G/D G/C# G/B
I'll wash the blood off the tailgate
G/A G G/F# Em G/B
when deer season's done
G A7sus2
We got one more weekend to go
G G/F# Em G/B
And I'd like to kill one more doe
[Instrumental]
G/D G/C# Em/G Em/F#
G G/F# A7sus2
[Verse 2]
G/D G/C# G/B
So I'll shovel the sidewalk again
G/A G G/F# Em G/A
'cause you're still in a stew
G/D G/C# G/B
I bet the bridge tender's widow won't mind
G/A G G/F# Em G/A
that I can't please you
G A7sus2
She's sure got the run of the men
G G/F# Em
Out here where the pickin's are thin
G/B
and there's not much to do
[Instrumental]
G/D G/C# Em/G Em/F#
G G/F# Em G/A
[Bridge]
Bm
I woke up last night in the grip of a fright
G
scared to breathe for I might make a noise
Bm
This life that we craved so little we saved
G A7sus2
between the grandparents graves and the grandchildren's toys
[Verse 3]
G/D G/C# G/B
We grew up hard and our children
G/A G G/F# Em G/A
don't know what that means
G/D G/C# G/B
We turned into our parents before
G/A G G/F# Em G/A
we were out of our teens
G A7sus2
Through a series of Chevys and Fords
G G/F# Em
The occasional spin round the floor
G/B
at the Copper Canteen
[Instrumental]
G/D G/C# Em/G Em/G Em/F# Em/E
G G/F# A7sus2
[Verse 4]
G/D G/C# G/B
Now the big boxes out on the bypass
G/A G G/F# Em G/A
are shaving us thin
G/D G/C# G/B
I guess we'll hold on a couple more years
G/A G G/F# Em G/A
'til the pension kicks in
G A7sus2
Then we'll sell all the stock in the store
G G/F# Em
Leave only the lock on the door
G/B
And wonder what then
[Instrumental]
G/D G/C# G/C# G/B G/A G/B Em
G G/F# Em G/B
[Bridge]
Bm
When I wake up at night in the grip of a fright
G
and you hold me so tight to your chest
Bm
Then your breath on my skin still pulls me back in
G A7sus2
'til I'm weightless and then I can rest
[Verse 5]
G/D G/C# G/B
So if Monsignor should pull you aside
G/A G G/F# Em G/A
as you're leaving the church
G/D G/C# G/B
And I'm out on the ice, dropping lines
G/A G G/F# Em G/A
for the walleye and perch
G A7sus2
Tell him it's not your job to bring me to the fold
G G/F# Em G/A
And I'd rather stand out in the cold
[Verse 6]
G/D G/C# G/B
And honey I know that the woodpile's low
G/A G G/F# Em G/A
and you can't close the flue
G/D G/C# G/B
So I'll split up a couple more cords
G/A G G/F# Em G/A
'fore the winter time's through
G A7sus2
Hold on to your rosary beads
G G/F# Em
Leave me to my mischievous deeds
G/A
like we always do
