Merle Haggard No 1's

        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.

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

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

And it hurts to know how close he really came

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.
                                                                    A7
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,
                               D7   G
Let this song that I'm singin' be a warnin',
            A7
When you're runnin' down our country (hoss - 1st // man - 2d)
                                       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.

Chorus

The Fightin' Side Of Me

A Cabin In The Hills
Merle Haggard

1st verse spoken:

F
I dreamed I saw Jesus last night 
C
Seated on a mountain in the moonlight
    F                     C
His hands held a key to a cabin 
     G7                          C
That cabin I'd dreamed of all my life

                G7               C
Money makes the rules we have to live by
  F                                  C
A home is just a place they send the bills
F                                 C
God knows why we work and what we pray for
                      G7           C
So He's building me a cabin in the hills

                      G7              C
Who knows He might be finished in the morning
     F                              C
So I lie awake and take no sleeping pills
F                            C
God knows I'm not happy in a mansion
                      G7           C
So He's building me a cabin in the hills

  F                               C
I live my lonesome life down in a valley 
         G7                           C
With the factories the rivers and the mills
F                               C
Sometimes I can almost hear His hammer 
                         G7           C
Cause He's building me a cabin in the hills 

               G7                 C
Someone has to keep the home fire burning
     F                                C
So I sweat and get the harvest in the field 
F                                   C
Life on earth won't be the same hereafter
                      G7           C
So He's building me a cabin in the hills 

Repeat #4

                   G7           C
He's building me a cabin in the hills

A King Without A Queen
Merle Haggard 

 
C                     F
Riches do not come in silver and in gold
   G7                         C
It comes in the happiness you find
                           F
I place my gold and silver before my precious queen

If you never lost a loved one

Then you'll know just what I mean
         F                        C
For what good are treasures and a kingdom
          G7               C
If you're a king without a queen
 
                          F
Now that she has gone and found another love
   G7                     C
My castle is empty and so cold
                                      F
For her leaving brought me heartaches that I have never known
    G7                                     C   C7
And there's sadness in the treasures I now hold

Let's make a Ford and a Chevy that'll still last ten years like they should
    G7
The best of the free life is still yet to come

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

But now it's back to the barrooms again

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

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

Now it's back to the barrooms again 
 
Repeat #2

What makes a stolen moment such a precious thing

I guess it's just because you can't be mine

What makes me always want a woman I can't have

Why does someone else's silver always shine

My passion rises every time you come around

Momma was lonely  and I was afraid

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

The sun comes up and crowns the mountain king
      G                     C           G
If by chance you dare to be high upon a mountain

I'll swear that you can hear the angels sing

Living 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

C
Pancho was a bandit boys
G
His horse was fast as polished steel
F
Wore his guns outside his pants
C                           G
For all the honest world to feel
F
Pancho met his match you know
C                        F
On the deserts down in Mexico
Am                       G
Nobody heard his dying words
F                     Am
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

C
Lefty he can't sing the blues
G
All night long like he used to
F
The dust that Pancho bit down South
C                     G
ended up in Lefty's mouth
F
The day they laid old Pancho low
C               F
Lefty split for Ohio
Am                        G
Where he got the bread to go
F                   Am
There ain't nobody knows

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

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
F
Pancho needs your prayers it's true

Pancho & Lefty

Old-school patriotism; Don't F with my county.

This is what country music is about - dispair. Christmas is cancelled OK - deal with it.  Western music is about death - &quot;It's been lonesome in the saddle - since my horse died&quot;  I love this stuff 

G      Em
I found a love for me
               C                         D

Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet
          C                                  D
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me

                                 G
Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
              Em                     C               G  D

She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I’ll share her home
           G             Em
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
         C                              D
To carry love, to carry children of our own

                              G                     Em 
We are still kids, but we’re so in love, fighting against all odds
                  C               G  D
I know that we’ll be alright this ti-ime
               G                            Em 
Darling just hold my hand, be my girl, I’ll be your man

Perfect

Sorry I couldn't figure out the chords in the original song, nor in the Kris Allen version, but here's what I wrote

Intro: Dm, Bb, Dm, C
 
Dm
In the night I hear 'em talk,

Bb
The coldest story ever told,

Dm
Somewhere far along this road

C
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless... oh
How could you be so heartless?

Dm, Bb, Dm, C (it continues like this for the rest of the song, the rest is just the lyrics)

How could you be so,
Cold as the winter wind when it breeze yo
Just remember that you talking to me yo
You need to watch the way you talking to me you know
I mean after all the things that we been through
I mean after all the things we got into
And yo I know of some things that you ain't told me
And yo I did some things but that's the old me
And now you wanna get me back
And you gon' show me
So you walk around like you don't know me
You got a new friend
Well I got homies
But in the end it's still so lonely

In the night I hear 'em talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless... oh
How could you be so heartless?


How could you be so Dr. Evil
You're bringing out a side of me that I don't know
I decided we weren't gonna speak so why we up 3 a.m. on the phone
Why does she be so mad at me for, homie I don't know she's hot and cold
I won't stop, won't mess my groove up cause I already know how this thing goes,
You run and tell your friends that you're leavin' me
They say that they don't see what you see in me
You wait a couple months then you gon' see,
You'll never find nobody better than me

In the night I hear 'em talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless... oh
How could you be so heartless?


Talkin', talkin', talkin', talk,
Baby lets just knock it off
They don't know what we been through
They don't know 'bout me and you
So I got something new to see
And you just gon' keep hatin' me
And we just gon' be enemies
I know you can't believe
I could just leave it wrong
and you can't make it right
Im gon' take off tonight
Into the night...

In the night I hear 'em talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless... oh
How could you be so heartless?

Chocolate

[Intro]
C          Em                  Am              F
Feels like,  I'm standing in a timeless dream
  C         Em               Am    F
A light mist   of pale amber rose
C          Em              Am            F
Feels like,  I'm lost in a deep cloud of heavenly scent
Am       G            F
Touching,  discovering you


[Verse 1]
C           Em                  Am              F
Those days,  of warm rains come rushing back to me
         C        Em              Am   F
Miles of windless,   summer night air
       C       Em             Am              F
Secret moments,   shot in the heat of the afternoon
           C        Em             Am     F
Out of the stillness,   soft spoken words


[Chorus]
C
I love you always forever
F
Near and far, closer together
C
Everywhere, I will be with you
F
Everything, I will do for you

C
I love you always forever

[Verse 2]
C         Em                       Am             F
You've got,  the most unbelievable blue eyes I've ever seen
C         Em                   Am    F
You've got, me almost melting away
      C        Em                      Am           F
As we lay there,   under a blue sky of pure white stars
          C        Em             Am    F
It's like sweetness,  and magical time


[Chorus]
C
I love you always forever
F
Near and far, closer together
C
Everywhere, I will be with you
F
Everything, I will do for you

C
I love you always forever
F
Near and far, closer together
C
Everywhere, I will be with you
F
Everything, I will do for you

       In a Manner of speaking 
                     Am/G
I just want to say
                    Am/G                 F
That I could never forget the way
                      Dm
You told me everything
                  E7/G#
By saying nothing

Am                              Am
        In a manner of speaking
                  Am/G
I don't understand
                  Am/G                           F
How love in silence becomes reprimand
                            Dm
But the way that i feel about you
     E7/G# 
Is beyond words

  Am               Am/G
O give me the words
                      F                  Dm
Give me the words
                    E7/G#
That tell me nothing
Am               Am/G
O give me the words
                      F                  Dm
Give me the words
                   E7/G#
That tell me everything

In a manner of speaking
Semantics won't do
In this life that we live we live we only make do
And the way that we feel
Might have to be sacrified
So in a manner of speaking
I just want to say
That just like you I should find a way
To tell you everything
By saying nothing.

O give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
O give me the words...
Give me the words
Give me the words

Am7          Em
God knows I tried
Am7           Em
Everything I could to keep you satisfied
Am7      Em                        D
Bein' my baby was just a part you played
     E7 
It was all some kind of game

Am7              Em
And just like a child
Am7          Em
Just like a child you got to have your way
Am7      Em                  
Nothin' ventured, nothing gained

Baby, I know I'll get along

Sometimes you got to make it on your own
Am7                 G                  C  
It's more than my pride that's got me all tied
      E                      
Up inside, girl, it's all the lyin'

F            E 
Guess, It's time to close the door
F             E  
I don't wanna cry anymore
F                   E               Am7    Em   
It's just not worth fightin' for this loooooove
   F      E       Am7      Em 
It's over, this love is over
