A
in a long, long while
A E7
We don't get nearer, further, closer than a country mile

Why don't you be the sort you used to be ?
How come you find so many faults with me ?
I'm the same old trouble that you've always been through
Why don't you love me like you used to do ?

Ain't had no lovin' like a-huggin' and a-kissin'
in a long, long while
We don't get nearer, further, closer than a country mile

Say sweet nothings like you used to coo
Somebody's changed, so let me give you a clue
Why don't you love me like you used to do ?

D E7 A A7
Sweet dreams of you
D E7 A A7
Every night I go through
D G D Bm
I should hate you, girl, the whole night through
D A D A A7
Instead of having sweet dreams all about you
D E7 A A7
You don't love me, it's plain
D E7 A A7
I should have known you'd never share my name
D G D Bm
Why can't I forget you, girl, start loving someone new

Instead of having sweet dreams all about you
D E7 A A7 D E7 A A7
D G D Bm
Why can't I forget my past, start loving someone new

Success
(Mullins)
submitted by Eric Dongu <edongu@iunhaw1.iun.indiana.edu>
Verse
D
We used to go out walkin' hand in hand
A G D
You told me all the big things you had planned
D
It wasn't long till all your dreams came true
A G D
Success put me in second place with you
Chorus
G D
You have no time to love me any-more
A G D
Since fame & fortune knocked upon our door
G D
I spend all my evenings all a-lone
A G D
Success has made a failure of our home
Verse
If we could spend an evening now & then
Perhaps we'd find true happiness again
You never hold me like you used to do
It's funny what success has done for you
Chorus
You have no time to love me anymore
Since fame & fortune knocked upon our door
I spend all my evenings all alone
Success has made a failure of our home
Tonight The Bottle Let Me Down
(Merle Haggard)
TPBLA@aol.com
D
Each night I leave the barroom when it's over
A7
Not feeling any pain at closing time
A7
But tonight you memory found me much to sober
D
Couldn't drink enough to keep you off my mind
CHORUS:
D
Tonight the bottle let down
A7
and let you memory come around
A7
The one true friend I thought I'd found
D
Tonight the bottle let down
I've always had a bottle I could turn to
And lately I've been turning everyday
But the wind don't take effect the way it used to
And I'm hurting in an old familiar way
CHORUS
Tonight the bottle let down
Brown To Blue
(Johnny Mathis)

D D7 G E
We stood there in the courthouse room so close but far apart
A A7 D A
You brought along the lawyer and I brought a broken heart
D D7 G E
The judge pronounced the words the way you wanted him to do
A A7 D D7
You changed your name from Brown to Jones and mine from Brown to Blue
G D D7
I couldn't help my tears from falling on the courtroom floor
G D A A7
My love, they took away my right to love you anymore
D D7 G E
My world just seemed to stop as I stood there so close to you
A A7 D A
You changed your name from Brown to Jones and mine from Brown to Blue
D D7 G E
The judge forgot to tell me how I'd live my life alone
A A7 D A
What I would do without you after loving you so long
D D7 G E
He didn't seem to care that I'm still in love with you
A A7 D D7
You changed your name from Brown to Jones and mine from Brown to Blue
G D D7
I couldn't help my tears from falling on the courtroom floor
G D A A7
My love, they took away my right to love you anymore
D D7 G E
My world just seemed to stop as I stood there so close to you
A A7 G D
You changed your name from Brown to Jones and mine from Brown to Blue
Good Year For The Roses
(Jerry Chesnut)
submitted by Eric Dongu <edongu@iunhaw1.iun.indiana.edu>
See notes at the bottom of the song.
Verse
A
I can hardly bear the sight of lipstick
D A
on the cigarettes there in the ashtray
A
Lyin' cold the way you left 'em,
D A
but at least your lips caressed them while you packed
D
Or the lip-print on a half-filled cup of coffee
A
that you poured and didn't drink
E
But at least you thought you wanted it,
A Asus A
that's so much more than I can say for me
Chorus
D E
What a good year for the roses
A
Many blooms still linger there
Bm E7
The lawn could stand another mowin'
A Asus A
Funny I don't even care
D E
As you turn to walk a-way
D A
As the door behind you clos-es
Bm E7
The only thing I have to say
A D C#m Bm A
It's been a good year for the ros - - - - - - - - - es
Verse
After three full years of marriage,
it's the first time that you haven't made the bed
I guess the reason we're not talkin',
there's so little left to say we haven't said
While a million thoughts go racin' through my mind,
I find I haven't said a word
From the bedroom the familiar sound
of a baby's cryin' goes unheard
Chorus
What a good year for the roses
Many blooms still linger there
The lawn could stand another mowin'
Funny I don't even care
As you turn to walk away
As the door behind you closes
The only thing I have to say
It's been a good year for the roses
Notes:
Intro
I try to play the intro in a way that resembles the record. Barre
the 2, 3, and 4 strings at the second fret to play the A chord.
See the tab below:
Repeat 2x
1------------|------------|------------|
2------2-2---|----2-2---2-|------------|
3------2-2---|----2-2---2-|------------|
4----2-2-2---|--2-2-2---2-|------------|
5--0-------2-|4-----------|--2-2-4-4---|
6------------|------------|------------|
The same passage is used as a fill at the end of each verse line
that ends with an A chord.
Chorus
The motion in the Bm-E7 progression is tabbed below. You need to
play this pattern while you're filling in the chords underneath.
I've included the A-Asus-A part (you don't need to fill in the
chords here) also. Again, barre the A chord. Catch the high A in
measure 3 with your pinkie:
Bm E7 A Asus A
1--------------|------------|------------5-------|------------|
2--2-3---2-3---|2-3---2-3---|----2---2-3---3-3-2-|------------|
3------4-----4-|----4-----4-|----2---------------|------------|

And I had a fight with my best girlfriend

When I'm drinkin' I am nobody's friend

So please baby wait for me until they let me out again

I know the same thing has happened before
And each time it happens, I hate it more & more
When I'm drinkin' I am nobody's friend
So please baby wait for me until they let me out again
D A
I spent a whole lotta time sittin' & thinkin'

We'd still have the love I thought we knew---ew
Verse
I won't promise the same thing won't happen again
But I can promise, it'll be a long, long time till then

So please baby wait for me until they let me out again

How Much I Lied
(Parsons/Rifkin)
From: DevnGreen@aol.com
Here's "How Much I've Lied" from the Heavy sndtrk, i think its in a different
key than how he does it on the soundtrack but matches well with a live cd i
have.
G D G C
darling there is something i must tell you must know
Em C D
but its so hard to say the words i feel
C G G C
this fancy that i'm on has been going on too long
Em C D
its time we stop pretending things are real
G D G C
cause i've been living deep in sin, i've been living blind
Em C D
and i can't really tell whats right or wrong
C G G C
to take a chance on losing you was such a silly thing to do
Em C D G
the chance i might wake up and find you gone
C G G C
blue so blue my love is burnin' blue
Em C D
any bright flame would be a lie
C G G C
blue so blue my love still burns for you
Em C D
but i know that i'll only make you cry
G D G
C
a theif can only steal from you he can not break your heart
Em C D
he'll never touch the precious things inside
C G G C
so one like you should surely be miles and miles away from me
Em C D
then you'd never care how much i've lied
C G G
C
so try to understand the pain it takes so long when i explain
Em C D G
but please don't you forget how much i've lied

Psycho
(Leon Payne)
In the intro and later in the main verses, the Bm chord is altered by playing
a Bm/A (Lift your finger on the bottom of the barre...)
D A D
Can Mary fry some fish, mama
Bm
I'm as hungry as can be
D A D
Oh lord, how I wish, mama
Bm
You could stop the baby cryin'
A D
'Cause my head is killing me
I saw my ex again last night mama
She was at the dance at Miller's store
She was with that Jackie White mama
I killed them both
And they're buried under Jacob's sycamore
(Hold D) Bm (Bm/A)
You think I'm psycho don't you mama
D
I didn't mean to break your cup
Bm
You think I'm psycho don't you mama
A D
You better let 'em lock me up
Oh, don't hand me Johnny's pup mama
As I might squeeze him too tight
I'm havin' crazy dreams again mama
So let me tell you 'bout last night
I woke up in Johnny's room mama
Standing right there by his bed
With my hands around his throat mama
Wishing both of us were dead
You think I'm psycho don't you mama
I just killed Johnny's pup
You think I'm psycho don't you mama
You'd better let 'em lock me up
Oh you recall that little girl mama
I believe her name was Betty Clark
Oh don't tell me that she's dead mama
'Cause I just saw her in the park
We were sitting on a bench mama
Thinking of a game to play
Seems I was holding a wrench mama
Then my mind just walked away
You think I'm psycho don't you mama
I didn't mean to break your cup
You think I'm psycho don't you mama
Mama why don't you get up?
