G                                     D7                  G
There's a whole lot of people looking down their noses at me
                           D7          G
Cause I didn't come from a wealthy family
           C                     G
There were ten of us living in a two room shack
       D7                        G
On the banks of the river by the railroad tracks
   C                  G
We kept chickens in a pen in the back
    D7
And everybody said we were Po' Folks
 
   G                      D7                     G
My daddy was a farmer but all he ever raised was us
                                D7                    G
He dug a forty-foot well struck thirty six gallons of dust
    C                      G
The Salvation Army gave us clothes to wear
  D7                          G
A man from the county came to cut our hair
   C                    G
We lived next door to a millionaire
    D7                    G
But we wasn't nothing but Po' Folks
 
       C                     G
We was Po' Folks living in a rich folks world
   D7                G
We sure was a hungry bunch
       C                     G
If the wolf had ever come to our front door
A7                      D7
He'd a had to brought a picnic lunch
 
   G                          D7                      G
My granddaddy's pension was a dollar and thirty-three cents
                                   D7                  G
That was ten dollars less than the landlord wanted for rent
    C                      G
The landlord's letters got nasty indeed
   D7                  G
He wrote  get out  but Pa couldn't read
    C                    G
And we were too broke to even pay heed
    D7                           G
But that's how it is when you're Po' Folks

G                           D7                G
But we had something in our house money can't buy
                           D7                    G
Kept us warm in the winter cool when the sun was high
    C                            G
For whenever we didn't have food enough
        D7                  G
And the howling winds would get pretty rough
   C                              G
We patched the cracks and set the table with love
      D7                             G
Cause that's what you do when you're Po' Folks
 
    D7                    G
And we wasn't nothing but Po' Folks
   D7                 G
My mom and my dad was Po' Folks
   D7                        G
My brother and my sister was Po' Folks 
   D7                 G
My dog and my cat was Po' Folks
    D7                     G
And even the Po' Folks was Po' Folks

G                           D7          G
I love those bright lights  and country music
                      C           G
I won't stay home and cry tonight like all the nights before
D7                                    C           G
I've just learned that I don't really need you anymore
                 C              G
I found a little place downtown where guys like me can go
                              D7           G
And they've got bright lights  and country music
 
       C                          G
Bright lights and country music a bottle and a glass
A7                                            D7
Soon I'll be forgetting that there ever was a past
    G              C            G
And when everybody asks me what helped me forget so fast
                        D7          G
I'll say bright lights  and country music
 
               C           G
A table by the bandstand a bottle filled with wine
D7                                 C              G
Honky tonks were made for men with women on their minds
                 C              G
Nothing else can take away this loneliness of mine
                          D7          G
Quite like bright lights  and country music

I love you still

Still  after all this time

I lost count of the hours and I've lost track of the days
F
In fact I've lost just about everything since you went away
C
Everything that is except the memories you left me
G7
And that's one thing no man can ever mar
C
I don't know who you're with I don't even know where you are
F
My only hope is that someday you might hear this song

And I love you wherever you are

This flame in my heart is like a torch of fire
F
For everyday it burns hotter and everyday it burns brighter
C
And I haven't been able to put out one little flicker
G7
Not even with all of these tears
C
My friends say I'm crazy  and  maybe I am

But I'll carry this torch just as long as I can

For someday you just might decide to come home

And I want you to know I'm still here

G                           D7
Now the morning sun streaks across my room
        C              D7               G
And I'm waking up from another dream of you
                         D7
Yes I'm on the road once again it seems
         C                D7              G
All I've left behind is a chain of broken dreams
 
               D7
But you know I love you 
      C              G
Yes I love you  oh I love you
 
                         D7
How I wish this love was all we'd need to live
       C                    D7                  G
What a life we'd have cause I've got so much to give
                           D7
And it seems so wrong deep inside my heart
         C                  D7            G
That the dollar sign should be keeping us apart
 
Repeat #2
   C                             G
If only I could find my way back to the time
         G7                                C
When the problems of this life had not yet crossed our minds
        D7                                   G
For the answers could be found in children's nursery rhymes
         D7              G
I'd come running back to you
 
                              D7
But you know we can't live on dreams alone
       C                   D7            G
Got to pay the rent got to leave you all alone
                              D7
But you know I made my choice many years ago
         C                     D7          G
Now this traveling life is the only life I know

Don't She Look Good

C
She was on her way out of your life when I found her
                         G7
Not knowing which way to turn
 
She's forgotten the feeling of two arms around her
                               C
But it didn't take her long to learn
 
 
You had new worlds to conquer so you didn't want her 
   C7                     F
Or anything cramping your style
                                C
But don't she look great in the new dress I bought her
    G7                           C
And don't she look good when she smiles
 
 
Did you really think you were so all important 
                           G7
She couldn't get by on her own
 
Did you really think losing you would destroy her 
                                C
And that's why she kept hanging on
 
 
She stuck to her promise and talked to her conscious 
    C7                      F
She did all she could for a while
                              C
Then picked up the pieces and she started living
    G7                           C
Now don't she look good when she smiles
 
 
Don't she look good in a new dress I bought her
                                   G7
And the new way that she wears her hair
 
She's in a new world and she's not the same girl 
                            C
She knows now that somebody cares
 
 
You can't believe that the same girl you let go 
      C7                       F
Could change so in this little while
                              C
But don't she look great in a new dress I bought her
    G7                           C
And don't she look good when she smiles
 
                              C
But don't she look great in a new dress I bought her
    G7                           C
And don't she look good when she smiles

If you can face your conscience  I can face my pride
                G7                      C
If you can live with it  I can live without it
                G7                     D7     G7
Cause I did the only thing I could do  baby I tried

                                    C
Can you really take your rings off  without feeling kinda dirty
               G7                                D7
Can you really kiss him  while you're wearing my name
                 G7                      C
Can you run your fingers  all across his body
                     G7          D7      G7
Without missing me a little  and feeling ashamed

You don't understand the pattern of my life

Because my life has got no pattern

You don't see and you can't feel the wind
                                     C
That's blowing at my back and saying move boy
    G
You think this burning fever in my heart is just a folly
                                      C
And I'm throwing away my happiness by leaving you

Well it's my life throw it away if I want to

G
I've tried my best to plant my feet and stay with you
                  C
But all I feel is roots grow
    D7
And what man wants a woman who won't satisfy his heart
               G
And soothe his ego I sleep all day and run all night

And you tell me that that ain't right

That ain't what the husbands of your friends do

But it's my life throw it away if I want to

You try to make me think my nonconforming life

Has colored me some evil shade

You delight and filling up my mind

With a little bits of guilt you think I oughta feel

C                            G7               C
He came speeding through the town each day at sundown
                        F           C      
And his car was painted candy apple red
       F                                 C  
He was coming there to see the sheriff's daughter
                                       G7 
And the sheriff didn't know it so they said

         C              G7                     C 
Time and time again the sheriff tried to catch him
                      F          C
But he always speeded up and got away
         F                             C 
That old county jail stood patiently a waiting
                           G7                 C 
And the sheriff vowed he'd put him there some day

                F                      C
Well there goes candy apple red that's what the people said
      G7                              F            C
If he doesn't slow it down a bit he's gonna end up dead
        F                             C
And the sheriff's daughter said she'd rather end up dead
        G7                           C
Than to live without her candy apple red

                       G7                 C
So the sheriff built a barricade to catch him
                        F             C
And he sat there at the limits of the town
        F                              C 
But the sheriff's daughter had already met him
                                        G7
And had married him before the sun went down

         C               G7              C
When the sheriff saw him coming down the highway
                              F                  C
He saw they couldn't stop and quickly caught his breath
        F                             C 
As they crashed the barricade the car exploded
                     G7                C         
And the boy and girl went to a flaming death

I plowed the fields and I planted the seed
            G7           C
I worked my hands to the bone
                    C7          F           C
But the ground laid barren till He sent the sunshine
             G7       C
For I can do nothing alone

                      G7            C
I raised the corn and I rode to the mill
                   G7         C
With the best crop I ever had grown
                                  F              C
But the wheel wouldn't grind till He stirred the waters
             G7       C
For I can do nothing alone

G7                C
I can do nothing alone
    G7                    C
I'm weak and my Master is strong
           C7         F             C
I held the pencil but He wrote this song
             G7       C
For I can do nothing alone

                         G7          C
And now as my years lead me into the valley
                  G7          C
I've asked Him to please come home
              C7            F             C
For I walk in search of the good life hereafter
             G7       C
And I can do nothing alone

Packed my things and went away a thousand years ago today

Spoken:
Well I got back home today and I almost wished I'd stay away
 
For I left here with a smile and now I weep
 
Oh she kept her promise alright and she's waiting here tonight
 
Still waiting neath the ground where she's asleep

We couldn't call it love cause it really wasn't love anymore
                                           C
Yet we couldn't call it hate cause there's no way to hate
               G      D7      G
Someone you've loved  so much before
                    D7              G
We couldn't call it living cause it wasn't still alive
   C             D7
We couldn't call it dead cause it refused to die
                                                  G
We ran out of anything to call it so we called it quits

C                        G
Quits quits we called it quits it 
                C        G       C          G
Sounds like the easy way out but oh when it hits
               D7            G             C    G        C         G
The longer you live with someone you can't live with the harder it gets

We called it magic then we called it tragic finally we called it quits

                           C                          G
It's always been harder to fall out of love than fall in

I don't know where I'm going 
      C                     G    D7         G
But I doubt if I'll ever forget  where I've been
                    D7              G
We couldn't call it happy though it was for a while
   C                             D7
We couldn't call it sad cause it taught us both to smile
                                                   G
For luck for a better word to call it we called it quits

C                        G
Quits quits we called it quits 
                   C        G       C          G
It sounds like the easy way out but oh when it hits

The longer you live with someone you can't live with the harder it gets

We called it lovely then we called it lonely finally we called it quits

That's What Made Me Love You

Written by Lawrence Shoberg

C                 F
Two nights in the pourin' rain
              C
In a motel in Dallas
                    G7
That's what made me love you
                    C
That's what made me love you

               F
Champagne in a Dixie cup
                 C
You had a little and I had too much
                    G7
That's what made me love you
                    C
That's what made me love you

F
There ain't no way that time can make
                       C
A bad thing out of our love
F
In a hundred years I'll think back
    D7                   G7
And I'll have the memory of

C                    F
A box of candy and a wilted rose
                C
Wrinkled sheets and wrinkled clothes
                    G7
That's what made me love you

Walk Out Backwards
written and recorded by Bill Anderson
 
G                                  C
I'd rather live a life of lies and fantasy
G                                         D7
Than to face the truth and realize you're leaving me
    G              G7                   C
You built me up so high my heart can't stand to fall
    G                 D7                     G
And life without your love just isn't life at all
 
                                  C
So walk out backwards if you must go
                 D7
But please don't wave goodbye
                   G
Just wave one last hello
                                      C
The truth won't hurt so much if I can just pretend
              D7
So walk out backwards
                              G
And I'll think you're walking in
 
                                           C
Well you walked into my heart in search of sympathy
    G
And from that day down to this
                  D7
You've walked all over me
    G                  G7                   C
And now you're walking out to love somebody new
G                 D7
But you're not by yourself
                 G
Cause my heart's leaving too

              F	 	          G		
I'm full of arrogance and uncertainty
     Am      F				                          C
When I can't find the words you teach my heart to speak
Am	         G	       F   C
You make it real for me yeah

Chorus:
    G	    Am	   F	             C

Bridge:
G                           F                 C
    Everybody’s talking in words I don't understand
G                                    F              C
    You got to be the only one who knows just who I am
Em                                    F	
    You’re shining in the distance I hope I can make it through
           D	                              G                                    
Cause the only place that I want to be is right back home with you 


Verse 3:
                 C	             Am		
I guess there's so much more I have to learn
               F	 	                       G		
But if you're here with me, I know which way to turn
        Am         F		                   C
You always give me somewhere, somewhere I can run

   You make it real for me 

Chorus:
    G	    Am	   F	             C
And IIIIIIIII'm running to you baby

  Youuuuuuuuu are the only one who saved me
       G     Am	         F	               C
That's    whyyyyyyy I've been missing you lately
      Am	         G	       F   C
Cause you make it real for me 
Am	         G	       F   C
You make it real for me

School Friends

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G

Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me

       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us

It Ain't Me

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
