The song was actually written by the great Tom T. Hall – a fine story
telling kinda player. I’m sure the words are close – and most of the
chords too. I’m not too happy about the D7 in the chorus but then I
remember that guys like T.T.Hall just don’t use tough chords. This is
the key I sing it in. If I’ve missed a verse or something then I’ll
actually find the album (lost alphabetical order during last move …)
and check it.

Pamela Brown Tom T. Hall

I’m the [/]guy who didn’t m[/]arry pretty [/]Pamela [/]Brown
An educated, well intentioned, good girl in our town
Wonder [/]where I’d be today [/]if she had [/]loved me [/]too
Probably be driving kids to school.

Chorus:

I guess I [/]owe it all to [/]Pamela Brown
All of [/]my good [/]times, all my roaming around
One of these days I might be in your town
And I guess I owe it all to Pamela Brown

Seen the l[/]ights of citys an[/]d I’ve been through [/]many d[/]oors
Been to [/]foreign countries and walked upon their shores
Seems the [/]guy she married was the best part of my luck
She dug him `cause he drove a pick-up truck. And ..

Chorus:

(slower)

I don’t have to tell you just how beautiful she was
Everything it takes to get a guy like me in love
Lord, I hope she’s happy `cause she sure deserves to be
Especially for what she did to me. And …

Chorus:
