Every Time I Turn The Radio On
written and recorded by Bill Anderson
 
C                                   F
Every time I turn the radio on some cat's singing a happy song
        C                                              G7
About a woman who wakes him up every morning and loves him
C
Scrambles his eggs and unscrambles his life 
F
Butters his toast with a golden knife
          C                    G7         C
Bears his kids and nearly bout all of his burdens
 
                                         F
And I just sit there staring at the wall wondering how I missed it all
     C                                       G7
I've been out half of the night and I'm hung over
C
Nobody woke me rubbing my feet 
F
Just the sound of a jackhammer out in the street
             C                    G7       C
And this ole room ain't exactly a field of clover
 
                             F                                 C
Am I the only tavern-hopping beer-can-popping fool left in the world
                             F                         C
Am I the only sad-and-lonely meek-weak-freak without a girl
                                 F
No one to love and make me happy call me baby or call me pappy
G7
Am I the only low-and-lonely woman-needing jukebox-feeding
                                   C
Suffering son of a gun left in the world
 
                                    F
Every time I turn the radio on some cat's singing a happy song
      C                                         G7
About the woman who serves him love on a silver platter
C
Makes his coffee sweet and warm 
F
Holds him in her loving arms
              C                   G7         C
I look in the mirror and I wonder what's the matter

Don't She Look Good
recorded by Bill Anderson
written by Jerry Chesnut
 
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

C                     F           G7                 C
I'm not looking for a sweetheart  just a gentle lady friend
                     G7                              C
Someone I can softly turn to  when I need to now and then
                        F                              C
When my head gets kinda tangled  and my soul is laying bare
                    G7                                        C
I reach over in the corner of my life  and I find you waiting there

                      F                            C
You're a number I can phone  you're a letter I can write
                         G7                            C
You're my water when I'm thirsty  in the middle of the night
                         F                          C
You're a warm and tender body  you're a woman not a wife
                         G7                           C
And just knowing you has brightened  the corner of my life

                          F        G7                         C
There's a special kind of feeling  when we're simply touching hands
                          G7                            C
There's a special kind of comfort  knowing someone understands
                         F                           C
I'm no knight in shining armor  I'll never carry you away
                          G7                                       C
But you're filling up the corner of my life  in the nicest kind of way

Did She Mention My Name
Recorded by Bill Anderson
Written by Gordon Lightfoot

G                                      C
It's so nice to meet an old friend and pass the time of day
    D7                                      G
And talk about the hometown a million miles away
                                      C
Is the ice still on the river are the old folks still the same
           D7                     G
And by the way did she mention my name

        C          D7           G
Did she mention my name just in passing
                                 A7                              D7
And when the morning came do you remember if she cried a tear or two
       G                               C
Is the home team still on fire do they still win all their games
           D7                     G
And by the way did she mention my name

                                     C
Is the landlord still a loser do his signs hang in the hall
        D7                                             G
Are the young girls still as pretty in the city in the fall
                                       C
Does the laughter on their faces still put the sun to shame
           D7                     G
And by the way did she mention my name

        C          D7           G
Did she mention my name just in passing
                                   A7                        D7
And when the talk ran high did the look in her eyes seem far away
          G                               C
Won't you say hello from someone there'll be no need to explain
           D7                     G
And by the way did she mention my name
          D7                     G
Oh by the way did she mention my name

Intro:

G                          C            D7
It was fun while it lasted fun while it lasted
    G              C    D7   G
But it just didn't last long enough

                                   C
I just read the saddest letter and before I cry I'd better
        G                             D7
Let you know I'll never stand in your way
         G
I'm your old love he's your new love 
       C
But if you're sure he's the true love
     G            D7               G
I'll bow out gracefully and simply say

                           C            D7
It was fun while it lasted fun while it lasted
G          C               G
Ours was a special sort of love

It was fun while it lasted fun while it lasted

But it just didn't last long enough

                                           C
I can't say goodbye with laughter but I'll promise ever after
     G                                  D7
When I think of you my lonely lips will smile
        G                      C
I'll be all alone tomorrow but there'll be no pain or sorrow
       G                 D7             G
Just a happy thought you loved me for a while

G                          C           G
He looks in the mirror and spots a new wrinkle
    C           G                        D7
The gray in his hair sadly tells him the truth
G                         C             G
Time's marching on to its own heartless drummer
      C       G           D7          G
It'll never return to the days of his youth

                           C          G
He listens to Garth and he listens to Reba 
   C             G                       D7
He loves country music but he says point blank
G                                C            G
They don't make the songs now as good as they used to
    C         G          D7        G
And he misses Ernest and Lefty and Hank

       D7                   G
He's a child of the fifties confused by the nineties
C               G                          D7
Sound bytes and web sites and violence and crime
       G                        C           G
And he says only two things get better with time
                  D7        Em
A good love and a bottle of wine
  G               D7        G
A good love and a bottle of wine

                            C             G
She wakes him up gently and whispers good morning
    C              G                   D7
She brings him his coffee one sugar no cream
G                        C                 G
He couldn't tell you how long they've been married
    C               G             D7          G
But she's still his angel and the girl of his dreams

                                  C         G
And tonight when they lie in that big bed together
      C           G                            D7
He'll tell her he loves her he'll hold her and then
G                               C                  G
They'll talk about life and the roads that they've traveled
    C             G            D7     G
And he'll say I'd sure like to do it again

   D7                 G
He saw the bridges of Madison county 
C      G                      D7
Apollo 13 sent a chill up his spine
       G                              C           G
But he still says just two things get better with time
                  D7        Em
A good love and a bottle of wine
  G               D7        G
A good love and a bottle of wine

   D7                        G
Contentment's a journey it's no destination
    C         G                         D7
You live long enough and one day you'll find
     G                           C           G
That there's only two things get better with time
                  D7        Em
A good love and a bottle of wine
  G               D7        G

I've just learned that I don't really need you anymore

I found a little place downtown where guys like me can go

And they've got bright lights  and country music

Bright lights and country music a bottle and a glass

Soon I'll be forgetting that there ever was a past

And when everybody asks me what helped me forget so fast

I'll say bright lights  and country music

Honky tonks were made for men with women on their minds

Nothing else can take away this loneliness of mine

Now the morning sun streaks across my room
        C              D7               G
And I'm waking up from another dream of you

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 Get The Fever

Every time I hear the midnight trains 
D7                      G7 
Rolling out to the open plains
                                            C
A sense of freedom fills my veins I get the fever

Every time I sparrow flies up into the endless skies

Something down inside me cries I get the fever

I get the fever to pack up and leave here 
C
And wander wild like the wind
F                                         
This town's too full of memories of cruel love

And I can't stand it seeing her with him

Every time I hear a buddy say

He's put lots of dust and clay
                                    C
Between him and yesterday I get the fever

I get the fever to pack and leave here

Packed my things and went away a thousand years ago today
                                     G7
For I had places to go and things to see
C                G7       C                    F      C
I had a girl who loved me so and she begged me not to go
                        G7                  C
But I left and took her pleading words with me
 
C7      F              C
I'll be waiting always waiting 
                                          G7
I love you and I'll miss you while you're gone
  C                             F
I know you have to do what your heart tells you to
           C                         G7      C
So I'll be waiting till it tells you to come home
 
                   G7       C                       F      C
All the things I'd hoped to find I soon learned I'd left behind
                                    G7
So I told myself ol boy let's us go home
C                   G7      C                        F      C
Cause our darling's waiting there and she said she'd always care
                    G7               C
And the echo of her promise leads me on

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

The one I love don't want me hanging round

All she does is put me on and put me down
G                                  C            G
Tonight she's with a stranger at a party in her home
                  D7             G
And I'm here at a tavern getting stoned
 
                          C       G
Cause if I gotta go  I'll go down swinging

Where there's lights and laughter booze and blonds
                     D7
And a lot of sad sad singing
    G                      C             G
I'll sober up tomorrow and cry all day I know
   C                  G               D7              G
At least I'll go down swinging what a swinging way to go
 
                     C                 G
I dance with all the girls and buy the wine
                                          D7
Play the jukebox till I'm down to my last dime
G                                     C              G
She thinks she's made a fool of me by loving someone else
                         D7            G
She should see me make a fool out of myself

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
 
repeat #3
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

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

Quits quits we called it quits it 
                C        G       C          G
Sounds like the easy way out but oh when it hits

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

Quits quits we called it quits 
                   C        G       C          G
It sounds like the easy way out but oh when it hits

Oh I might as well be talking to the wall

I've known so long with me you've been unsatisfied
     D7                C                   G
So I finally found the strength to set you free

Why already I forgot a million memories 
    D7              C             G
And leaving you was easy as could be
 
                       C              G
But I might as well be talking to the wall 
       D7                  C              G
When I tell myself I'm not missing you at all

Cause every time you come around I fall 
C     G                D7             G
And I might as well be talking to the wall
 
                       C                       G
It seems there's not a day that some friend of mine

Doesn't bring back the memory I'll recall
                        C                          G

I'm not gonna hold anybody I'm not gonna kiss anybody

C          F                           C
And just a little while ago I saw them falling

On your picture as I kissed it goodnight

Never knew this heart  could hurt the way it hurts for you

Never knew  so many lifetimes in one week

Why don't you come back to me the way you said you would

And wipe these little crystals off my cheek

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

And they're telling me you no longer care

1) Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah       River.
2) miner's lady,         stranger to blue water.

        that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

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 walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            F                 C                 G

             F                    C                G

       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

It Ain't Me

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.
