Hank Williams Jr — Kawliga Chords

KAW—LIGA
Recorded by Hank Williams
Written by Hank Williams and Fred Rose

KEY: E  CAPO: 2nd  PLAY: D

KAW— [Dm] LIGA, was a wooden Indian standing by the door
He fell in love with an Indian maid over in the antique store
KAW—LIGA — A, just stood there and never let it [A7] show
So she could never answer "YES" or [Dm] "NO".

He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tomahawk
The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk
KAW—LIGA — A, too stubborn to ever show a sign
Because his heart was made of knotty pine.

CHORUS
[D] Poor ol' KAW—LIGA, he never got a kiss
[G] Poor ol' KAW—LIGA, he don't know what he missed
[D] Is it any wonder that his face is [A7] red
KAW—LIGA, that poor ol' wooden [D] head. ... [Dm]

KAW—LIGA, was a lonely Indian never went nowhere
His heart was set on the Indian maiden with the coal black hair
KAW—LIGA — A, just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer "YES" or "NO".

Then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maid
And took her, oh, so far away, but ol' KAW—LIGA stayed
KAW—LIGA — A, just stands there as lonely as can be
And wishes he was still an old pine tree.
