        Merle Ronald Haggard, born April 6, 1937 in Bakersfield, California is an American country music singer and songwriter. He has become one of the true giants of country music, and along with Buck Owens helped create the Bakersfield Sound, which is characterized by the unique twang of Telecaster guitars, harmonies, and a rough edge not heard on the more polished Nashville recordings of the time. After spending his early life drifting in and out of jail Merle attended three of Johnny Cash's concerts at San Quentin Prison.

If he ever gets to you I know he'll ignite the flame

Last night you both kept dancing when the music ceased to play

Is it all over do you still love me

Or am I standing in your way

Should I stay and keep trying or should I go
C                                 F                  C
Last night he almost made it he's still on your mind today
F         C       F         C
Is it all over do you still love me

G                                     C            G
There's a place where Mother Nature's got it all together
    C          D7      C   G            D7
She knows just when to let wild flowers bloom        
    G                             C                  G
Somehow she always seems to know  exactly what she's doing
    C            D7     C       G     D7
And the Lord saw fit to furnish elbow room

         G         G7          C
Have you ever been down to Colorado 
  D7                              G     D7
I spend a lot of time there in my mind 
       G           G7          C
And if God doesn't live in Colorado
     D7                                     G
I'll bet that's where he spends most of his time

G                             C            G
I'd love to be there watching early in the morning
    C         D7     C      G            D7
The sun comes up and crowns the mountain king
      G                     C           G
If by chance you dare to be high upon a mountain
     C          D7      C    G          D7
I'll swear that you can hear the angels sing

I hear people talking bad about the way they have to live here in this country.
                                                                   D
Harpin' on the wars we fight gripin' 'bout the way things ought to be.

I don't mind them switchin' sides and standin' up for things they beleive in,
                             
When they're runnin' down our country man,
                                        D
They're walkin' on The Fightin' Fide Of Me.

Runnin' down a way of life our fightin' men have fought and died to keep,
       
If you don't love it, leave it,

                                       D
You're walkin' on The Fightin' Side Of Me.


I read about some squirley guy
Who claims that he just don't beleive in fightin',
And I wonder just how long the rest of us can count on bein' free.
They love our milk and honey but they preach about some other way of livin',
When they're runnin' down our country man
They're walkin' on The Fightin' Side Of Me.

A Place To Fall Apart

C
Livin' on the road, my friend
G
Was gonna keep us free and clean
F
But now you wear your skin like iron
C                              G
And your breath's as hard as kerosene
F
You weren't your mama's only boy
C                         F
But her favorite one, it seems
Am
She began to cry
           F        G
When you said good bye
F                   Am
And sank into your dreams

Pancho was a bandit, boys
Rode a horse fast as polished steel
Wore his guns outside his pants
For all the honest world to feel
Pancho met his match, you know
On the deserts down in Mexico
No one heard his dyin' words
But that's the way it goes

F
And all the federales say
C                           F
They could have had him any day
Am                 F    G
They only let him slip away
       F               Am
Out of kindness, I suppose

Now Lefty he can't sing the blues
All night long like he used to
The dust that Pancho bit down South
It ended up in Lefty's mouth
The day they laid old Pancho low
Lefty split for Ohio
Where he got the bread to go
Well there ain't nobody 'knows

But all the federales say
They could have had him any day
They only let him slip away
Out of kindness, I suppose

Now poets sing how Pancho fell
Lefty's livin' in a cheap hotel
The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold
And so the story ends, we're told
Pancho needs your prayers, it's true
But save a few for Lefty, too
He only did what he had to do
And now he's growin' old

And all the federales say
They could have had him any day
They only let him go so long
Out of kindness, I suppose

Yes a few old gray federales still say
They could have had him any day
They only let him go so wrong
Out of kindness, I suppose

C               F
Lefty split for Ohio
Am                        G
Where he got the bread to go
F                   Am
There ain't nobody knows

And all the federales say

They could have had him any day

They only let him slip away
F                 Am
Out of kindness I suppose

C
The poets tell how Pancho fell
G
and Lefty's livin' in cheap hotels
F
The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold
C                       G
And so the story ends we're told

Pancho needs your prayers it's true

save a few for Lefty too
Am                         G
He only did what he had to do
F                     Am
And now he's growing old

F
And all the federales say
C                            F
They could have had him any day
Am                F     G
They only let him slip away
F                 Am
Out of kindness I suppose

F
a few great federales say
C                          F
We could have had him any day
Am              F     G
We only let him go so long

G                       C      G                      D7
Now it's back to the barrooms  right back to drinking again 
      G                      C
Maybe someday you'll love me enough to stay with me 
    G                       D7
And whisky won't be my best friend 
                                  G
But now it's back to the barrooms again 
  
                          C
The bartender knows me he knows how you do me 
    G                          D7
And he knows why I'm back here again 
G                    C
He should be given a prize for his patience 
      G                  D7
Cause bartenders do understand 
                             G
So it's back to the barrooms again 
  
                                C
With the loud music roaring the bartender pouring 
    G                       D7
And my shaky legs trying to stand 
     G                  C
It's over and over I've tried to stay sober 
    G                        D7
But look what a failure I've been 
                              G
Now it's back to the barrooms again 
 
Repeat #2
       D7                        G
Oh yes it's back to the barrooms again

Can't Break The Habit
Merle Haggard

 
G                     C            G
I can kick any habit  that is if I want to
                  D7           G
Or I can lay off  whatever I'm on
                       C                G
But of all the things  that I've been a slave to
                          D7            G
Hey you're the one thing  I can't leave alone
 
                  C                  G
I can't break the habit  love is too strong
                 D7                            G
I can't take the cure now  I've been hooked to long
             C                          G
I crave your loving  wouldn't quit if I could
                D7                        G
Can't break the habit  cause I have it to good
 
                           C                G
I can stay off the bottle  go straight if I want to
                    D7                     G
Or I can stay high  till the curtain comes down
                           C                G
I used to get around love  and move on if I had to
                          D7          G
But you're the one thing  I can't get around

Because You Can't Be Mine
Merle Haggard
 
C                                          F
What makes something you can't have always look so good
    C                                   G7
Why does something out of reach seem so fine
     C                                 F
What makes you thrill me more than any girl I know
  C               G7                   C
I guess it's just because you can't be mine
 
    G7                        C      F        C
Why can't I be contented with what belongs to me
                                     G7
And be satisfied with what's already mine
     C                            F
What makes a stolen moment such a precious thing
  C               G7                   C
I guess it's just because you can't be mine
 
                                  F
What makes me always want a woman I can't have
    C                                 G7
Why does someone else's silver always shine
   C                                 F
My passion rises every time you come around
      C               G7                   C
And I guess it's just because you can't be mine

California On My Mind

Well I got California on my mind

I'm leaving this old town behind
C
I'm tired of sitting and I'm tired of pining
F
I'm going back where the sun is shining
C         G7           C
I got California on my mind


Well I got stuck in this dingy city
F
But I'm not gonna stay
C
I'm tired of these red brick buildings
D7                  G7
And I'm gonna leave today

C
It's been one cold and dreadful winter
F
And I'm going back to the grapevine center
C          G7                  C
Pack up my things and be on my way

And I'd bet my bottom dollar

She's still sweet on me

Well I'm a homesick bat couldn't be no sicker

Mama Tried/ Pride In What I Am

Carolyn
Merle Haggard
 
C       Dm                              Em
Carolyn let me tell you what I've heard about a man today
   F                                 C        Dm
He didn't come home from work and he went away
                  C    F             G7              C
Till he came to a city bright in the night time like day
                                   Dm                           Em
There they say he met up with some women dressed in yellow and scarlet
 
      F                          C
Their warm lips like a honeycomb dripped with honey
Dm                           C              Dm
Something about the smell of strange perfume 
              G7            C
Made him feel warm and not alone
                               F
Yes Carolyn a man will do that sometimes on his own 
 
    C        G7         C
And sometimes when he's lonely
                                     F
And I believe that man might do that sometimes out of spite
    C                          G7    F
But Carolyn a man will do that always 
                         C
When he's treated bad at home

VERSE 1:   

C#m          E       B      A                     C#m   E    B   A 
I’m going away to be alone I’m coming back with answers
C#m           E            B    A            C#m   E   B   A
Don’t try to call my telephone it’s disconnected
C#m           E          B       A               C#m   E   B   A
And I don’t know where I’m going but can you guide me
C#m              E        B        A              C#m   E   B   A
But if I find love where I’m going will it survive me


PRE-CHORUS 1:

C#m            B   A                         C#m         A   B
‘Cause in your own space you’re disconnected and in your own mind you’re not affected
C#m         B   A                           C#m         A   B
And in your own time you’re still attracted but in your own life


CHORUS:

A                                 C#m            B
This heart attack I’ve gotta get away not coming back
A                                 C#m                     B
I want some downtime so call me when you can and I’ll be fine


VERSE 2: [same chords as VERSE1]
I’ve found the time to be alone I don’t know what you’re asking
I’m waiting by the telephone and you’re still barking
My heart stops it isn’t… going could you revive me
I think I’m lost without knowing so come and find me


PRE-CHORUS 2:  [same chords as PRE-CHORUS1]
‘Cause in the same space we’re disconnected and in your own mind you’re not attracted
But in your own life over reacted and in your own time


{CHORUS x2}


Sometimes if we don’t go sometimes you don’t know
You don’t go I don’t go I don’t go you don’t go

C#5  B5  A5                      C#5  A5  B5
            I’ve got your back              but you don’t got mine
C#5  E5  A5                    C#5  A5  B5
            This heart attack              then I’m feeling fine


CHORUS x2

C#m          E       B    A 
I’m going away to be alone
C#m          E       B    A 
I'm going away to be alone ...............

Why Cry

[Verse 1]
 G                              D
You like New York City in the daytime
 Bm                   A
I like New York City in the nighttime
 G                          D
You say you like sleeping with the air off
Bm                  A
I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D
You ignore the music on the radio
Bm                 A
I don't, I sing-a-long


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no
    G              D          Bm    A
And you don't ask for me to change


[Chorus]
N.C.                     D
Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice
    Bm                  A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
We don't even know why, no no
Bm                          A
We don't even know why, no no no


[Post-Chorus]
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time


[Verse 2]
G                        D
Cold outside and you're just in a T-shirt
Bm                   A
I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo
Bm                   A
I don't, I know you know


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no

And you don't ask for me to change

We don't even know why, no no no


[Post-Chorus]
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime (we don't even know)
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time (we don't even know)

No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime

(We don't even know, know, know, know, know)




[Bridge]
G                          D
Somehow we end up on the same side
Bm                          A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright
G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine
G                         D
Somehow we end up on the same side (up on the same side)
Bm                            A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright

(Think that we'd be alright)

G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine


[Chorus]

 N.C.                     D
(Oh)Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why

('Cause we work so well and we don't even know why, why)
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right

Verse 1
    D                              Bm7
We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame


Chorus

And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

Wise man next to me did say 'bout the one that got away

Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase

Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
         Bm7 A   G                               Gm
