Jean Shepard (born November 21, 1933 in Paul's Valley, Oklahoma as Ollie Imogene Shepard)was one of the first female vocalists in the country music field to become a major star in the early 1950's.   Shepard's family moved west to Visalia, California in hopes of a better life. In high school, Shepard formed the Melody Ranch Girls, which became locally famous. One night, Country star Hank Thompson saw Shepard performing at a show and liked what he heard. With Thompson's help, Shepard was able to get a recording contract with Capitol Records in 1952.

You ask me how long I've been drinking

And living this honky tonk life

Well listen girls I'll tell you my story 
      G               D7           G
I'm a mother that was once a happy wife
 
                     D7      G
I'm a girl just like so many others 
                     D7                 G
Neither good nor bad may be a girl like you

And just think what for the grace of God in heaven

It could have been your heart that was broke two
 
      C                          G
I'm a girl that's left without a future 
                                      D7
And the baby boy that has his daddy's name
        C                        G
And the baby looks just like his daddy

But another woman wears my wedding ring

So faithfully you promised me we'd marry in the spring
  G7                                                 C
A year has passed and now at last I see through everything

Just like a fool I let you rule this heart inside of me

Now you don't care how many years I'll spend in misery

Girls in disgrace must surely face the gossips of the town

You constantly reveal to me that you could never be

The kind of man to understand girls in disgrace like me

So patiently I've tried to see and understand your game
    G7                                          C
I'd even wait night after night you seldom ever came

I know you'll say I'm all to blame I know you just can't see
    G7                                              C
How I could think so much of you and never think of me

                                      A7                  D7
And I told him that I didn't want any other lips touching mine
G                                C                G
I whispered love your kisses are sweeter than the wine
                     D7               G
But I'd never tasted champagne at the time

And quietly when we spoke of love it was like I'd learned a brand new word
G                                           C               G
I once thought I'd seen everything but till I met you I was blind

D7                                  G
Each word is a heartache in perfect disguise
                            C
I can't help but listen and then I realize 
    D7                                  G
The words you have spoken are beautiful lies

Call me a dreamer in a fool's paradise
D7                                            G
My heart knows no difference that love that's unwise

Tell me you love me and will till you die

Like music you thrill me with beautiful lies

I see red roses blooming a rainbow in the sky

All sweet things come to me in the twinkle of an eye

There was a time when I felt I'd never love again

I know that you're a woman starved for love and tenderness

No one else can do the things you do to me

G                                D7              G
All night long I stayed away and stared out into space
                                   D7              G
I close my eyes but all I see is a picture of your face
    C                              G
And on my lips remain the sweetest taste of your last kiss
       D7                         C           D7       G
And in case you've never wondered that's what lonesome is

C                           G
That's what lonesome is and that's how lonesome feels
    D7                              C                  G
Its starts out like a bad bad dream then ends up being real
                                   G7                 C
I don't know how much longer I can live and hurt like this
                G       C           D7       G
I'm almost dead already that's what lonesome is

C           D7       G
That's what lonesome is

                                 D7                 G
I drank a pot of coffee tried to numb my brain with wine
                                       D7                  G
But still your memory keeps on running reckless through my mind
  C                               G
I think of all I used to have and all I'm gonna miss
       D7                         C           D7       G
And in case you've never suffered that's what lonesome is

G                 G7              C             G
I swore I'd never let another man get inside my mind
    C                G              A7            D7
But it only took one touch from you to make me realize
        G            G7   C                    G
When my maker molded me   you were part of His plan
    C              G      Em     D7               G
For He made me fit perfectly  in the palm of your hand

                G7               C               G
I even love the calluses and the wrinkle in your hand
  C                    G         A7              D7
I swear that they were put there to help me understand
            G             G7      C                    G
It took the labor of your loving  oh to make me what I am
    C            G      Em     D7               G
And now I fit so perfectly  in the palm of your hand
 
     C                D7                 G
They say behind every good man there's a woman
    Em          A7                  D7
But you made my place right by your side
G                      G7
I just can't believe I found this much love
C                          G
All wrapped up in just one man 
  C                  G      Em     D7               G
I thank God I fit so perfectly  in the palm of your hand

   C                    G      Em     D7               C   G
Oh I thank God I fit so perfectly  in the palm of your h-and

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

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

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
