John Hiatt wrote this song in the early 1970s and never put it on any of his albums. There's a bootleg around, "Perfectly Good Pizza", and you can hear he sounds drunk, but plays and sings wonderfully. The last part of the chords - if you play in G - from "I die a little slower...." are G/// B7/// Em/// C/// G/// D/// G///
@kcrutch22 Yeah he came into this old restaurant I use to work at here in town and he was a real friendly guy. He's one of my favorites too. Sooo talented.
This is a lovely cover version... however, it would be nice if the many credits at the beginning of the video included a mention of the songwriter, John Hiatt.
listen up stoney is by far the best red dirt/ country music singer in the land. Hell, he's the best ever, of any music!!!! live or on a cd. he's the MAN!!!!!
I'll agree with bs0139... Stoney is amazing live... And his version of this song is, in my opinion, so much better then the original. Stoney LaRue is great in my opinion.
u can tell he ACTUALLY has the BLUES. and you can hear it in his soul.. God Bless.

Anyone found good tabs/chords for this song??
abass84 2 years ago
I listened to it over and over and played along with him and I think these are right:
G D Am C G D C(verses)
Am Em F C D G B7 C G D G(chorus)
I'm pretty sure it repeats through the whole song. Of course he does the walk ups and walk downs.
