A# F7                          D#                    A#
Today as I was walking in the fields just down the way

  F7                          D#             A#
I sat down on a fallen log to pass the time away

                              D#
And as I looked around me the more that I did look

           A#                           F7             A#
The more I realized that I was viewing God's coloring book


                                 D#              A#
I saw a golden ray of sunlight a silver drop of dew

                                    F7
A soft white floating cloud sailing across the sky of blue

A#                  D#
A yellow dandelion pretty evergreen

         A#                      F7                     A#
And some red and orange flowers growing wild along the stream


                                  D#
And the more I look around me the more that I do look

           A#                          F7             A#
The more I realize that I was viewing God's coloring book


    F7                                     D#              A#
The grain of sand in an old man's hair the pink in baby's cheeks

    F7                            D#               A#
The blackness in a stormy sky the brown in fallen leaves

                             D#
And the multicolored rainbow stretched across the sky

        A#                     F7              A#
And the purple haze at sunset just before the night


                                  D#
And the more I look around me the more that I do look

           A#                          F7             A#
The more I realize that I was viewing God's coloring book

 
       F7                              D#            A#
Then I turn my face toward the sky and say a silent prayer

       F7                      D#              A#
Though God doesn't speak to me I see Him everywhere

                    D#
He is all around me He's everywhere I look

             A#                        F7             A#
And each new day is but a new page in God's coloring book


                                      F7             D#  A#
Yes each new day is but a new page in God's coloring book

Backwoods Barbie
Written and recorded by Dolly Parton

G                                C
I grew up poor and ragged just a simple country girl
G                                               D7
I wanted to be pretty more than anything in the world
     C                           G              C
Like Barbie or the models in the Fredrick's catalog
                    G            D7              G
From rags to wishes in my dreams I could have it all

    C                                G
I'm just a backwoods Barbie too much makeup too much hair
C                                    G                 D7
Don't be fooled by thinking that the goods are not all there
C                               G             C
Don't let these false eyelashes lead you to believe 
                    G               D7             G
That I'm as shallow as I look cause I run true and deep

                               C
I've always been misunderstood because of how I look
G                                                 D7
Don't judge me by the cover cause I'm a real good book
   C                          G               C
So read into it what you will but see me as I am
                  G              D7             G
The way I look is just a country girl's idea of glam

    C                            G
I'm just a backwoods Barbie in a push-up bra and heels
C                           G                   D7
I might look artificial but where it counts I'm real
C                                      G                  C
And I'm all dolled up and hoping for a chance to prove my worth
                   G        D7                 G
And even backwoods Barbie's get their feelings hurt

    C                                G
I'm just a backwoods Barbie too much makeup too much hair
C                                    G                 D7
Don't be fooled by thinking that the goods are not all there
C                              G                    C
Yes I can see where I could be misjudged upon first glance
                   G        D7               G
But even backwoods Barbie's deserve a second chance

    C                G           D7           C
I'm just a backwoods Barbie just asking for a chance
                 G
Just a backwoods Barbie

Backwoods Barbie

G
Back through the years I go wondering once again
                          C
Back to the seasons of my youth
  G
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
                                   C
And how my momma put these rags to use
 
           G
There were rags of many colors and every piece was small
                                                    D7
And I didn't have a coat and it was way down in the fall
      G                              C
Momma sewed the rags together sewing ever piece with love
            G                   D7                  G
She made my coat of many colors that I was so proud of
 
 
As she sewed she told the story from the bible she had read
                                                     D7
About a coat of many colors Joseph wore and then she said
   G                                  C
Perhaps this coat will bring you much love and happiness
                            G
And I just couldn't wait to wear it
          D7                G
And momma blessed it with a kiss
 
   C                           G
My coat of many colors that my momma made for me
C                    G              D7
Made only rags but I wore it so proudly
  G                         C
Although we had no money oh I was rich as I could be
      G                   D7               G
In my coat of many colors my momma made for me
 
 
So with patches on my breaches and holes in both my shoes
                                           D7
In my coat of many colors I hurried off to school
        G                            C
Just to find the others laughing and making fun of me
      G                   D7               G
In my coat of many colors my momma made for me
 
 
Oh I couldn't understand it for I felt I was rich
                                                   D7
And I told them of the love my momma sewed in ever stitch
      G                       C
And I told them all the story momma told me while she sewed
           G
And how my coat of many colors
   D7                           G
Is worth more than all of their clothes
 
     C                           G
They didn't under stand it and I tried to make them see
C                     G                     D7
That one is only poor only if they choose to be
      G                         C
Now I know we have no money but I'm as rich as I could be
      G                   D7                G
In my coat of many colors my momma made for me

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
