Willie Nelson - Pick Up The Tempo

capo 2

D G A7 D
people are saying that timell take care of people like me
D E7 A7
and i’m living too fast , lord you know it cant last too much longer
D G A7 D
but little they see that their thoughts of me is my savior
D A7 D
and they really should know that the beat ought to go a little faster

chorus :
D G A7 D
so pick up the tempo just a little , take it on home
D E7 A7
a singer aint singin and the drummers been drinkin too long
D G A7 D
timell take care of itself so leave time alone
D A7 D
pick up the tempo just a little , take it on home
