 C                                                         D#Then I noticed the stranger was ghost white pale when he asked me for a light.
     F                                           CAnd knew there was somethin' strange about this ride.

2. 

Well, he cried just south of Nashville, and he turned that car around.
he said: (spoken) this is where you get off, boy 
cause I'm going back to Alabam'.
I stepped out of that ole Cadillac and I said Mister, many thanks.
he said you don't have to call me mister, Mister.
The whole world calls me Hank.   

repeat Chorus once or twice, depending on how you want to play it. 

Copy and post from someone else I didnot write these though I do believe they are correct.
