Old man Crow goes down to the river
Gonna fish himself a full days work
Been fishing the same old pond nearly all his life
Got his name engraved right there in the dirt
Gonna take his catch down to market
gonna bring that money back home
Hes putting bread on the table
Hes doing his job

Old mans buddy comes down to the river
Hes gonna talk himself a full days work
Hes been fishing for the love of the pond nearly all his life
He dont mind at all getting down in the dirt
His wife calls at the end of the day
His child stumbles downtown to play
Hes gonna sit in the yard for awhile
Hes feeling no pain

Solo

The river bed man has seen some changes
Going from paddle boats to gasoline
He dont mind at all about no dirty water
As long the sun comes up and those fish get cleaned
Dont need no millionaires daughter
Dont need no millionaires wife
Hes got that millionaires money
Notched in the pole of the fishermans life

One Lie Away
By Jack Ingram

Everything I ever wanted is one lie away
To be so close and now to know there's nothing we can say
For the things I can’t take back severely I will pay
And everything I ever wanted is one lie away

Chorus
Being so wrong doesn’t take long
But not holding on goes on and on
And if you could see what's left of me
Has to go through everyday
You’d know everything I ever wanted is one lie away
Chorus

No you can’t take back your actions
Only hope and pray and change
And everything I ever wanted is one lie away

E-‘3——-0———|
B–0——-1———|
G–0——-0——0–|
D’-0—0—2–0h2—-|
A’-0h2—–3———|
E–3—————–|

Intro rhythm:

This beer is colder than the shoulder you’d give me
If I were to tell you the truth
And the truth is she ain’t been gone that long
But I’ve been wondering what I’m supposed to do
Call her up, tell her I miss her
I do but I don’t wanna be with her
I can feel myself getting weaker
And I just know I’ve gotta see her

Chorus
I don’t go with her when she leaves
But where she’s goin’ she takes me
I don’t go with her when she leaves
But where she’s goin’ she takes me

You see I’m the kinda guy who likes to drive
And she’s got a fast car so you know I like that
While I’m never asked to pay for gas
If it should happen I could fix a flat
You see that’s the times when I come through
It’s one rare moment she don’t know what to do
Now I know that don’t seem like much
But hey, it’s just enough to keep in touch

Chorus
Takes me, Take me

Now some folks like it
If at night they stay at home all by themselves
But me I go crazy thinkin’
Maybe there might not be someone else
Knock at my door and ring my phone
Come to my house and take me home
There’s only one reason she don’t stay
It’s cause I work so damn hard to push her away

Chorus

Intro Chords:
D A Em G A twice

This desert wind is burnin’ my face again, god I’m missin’ you
Been runnin’ blind, under a broken sky with regrets I’m sorting through
But lesson learned baby I made the turn

Chorus:
Wherever you are, no matter how far, girl, I’m gonna find my way to you
Through rivers of rain or mountains of pain, do whatever on earth I’ve gotta do
I’ll follow a [D/F#]dream, I’ll follow my heart, girl I gotta be wherever you are

So many miles to where we said goodbye to the street of shattered dreams
I’m prayin’ hard you can start a life with someone who’s not me
And if you’re just gone, girl I’ll be movin’ on

Chorus

Solo

Bridge:
Let the sunrise find me searchin’
Let the west wind carry my plea
Give this changed me one more last chance
Open your arms to me

Outro:
Wherever you are
Through rivers of rain or mountains of pain, do whatever on earth I’ve gotta do
I’ll follow a dream, I’ll follow my heart, girl I gotta be wherever you are
Wherever you are
Wherever you are
Wherever you are

Everybody

Jack Ingram

As played on the “ACOUSTIC MOTEL” CD

Everybody loves you
Everbody’s scared
Everybody hates you
Nobody cares

Everbody’s crying
Everybody’s free
Everbody’s fortune just looks like luck to me

(Chorus)

What are we so afraid of
Everybody sleeps alone
In our darkest hour[G-F#-Em]
We all find our own way home

(solo)

Everbody loves you
Jesus told you so
Everybody’s lying
Hell, even jesus knows

Everybody’s happy
Has a right to be
Everybody’s laughing
I think the jokes on me

(Chrous)

Everybody loves you
Everybody’s scared
Everbody hates you
Nobody cares

“Hey You
By Jack Ingram

Don’t you ever get tired of the noise
Don’t you ever get bored with the crowd
If they had so much to say
Would they have to talk so loud
Why don’t we get out of here
Cause I wanna whisper in your ear

Chorus:
Hey You
Are you listenin?? to me
I gotta tell you what you mean to me
Your the one I wanna tell my secrets to
Hey You

There’s some things I need to say
There’s some things we gotta to talk about
I gotta have your full attention
Cause this time I don’t want have to shout
Even though your right here near me
Well I wonder if you even hear me

Chorus

Everybody’s just dying to be heard
Everybody they want to know why
Everybody’s gotta have the last word
And it’s always gotta be goodbye
Why don’t we get out of here
Cause I wanna whisper in your ear

Chorus 2x
”

CAPO 4th Fret

INTRO:
VERSE[C/B][Am/G]
Its just another Tuesday night
In the rain
Anot[C/B]her day go[Am/G]ne by
They look all the same
Ill wake up in the morning
Its another day
Photo[C/B]graphs of you I[Am/G]ll see
I turn the other way

While the rain keeps falling
Bluebirds wont fly
But the tears will flow and the
Wind will blow and
Ill keep asking why
I cant find an answer
Or another way
To understand the debt I owe
That I continue to pay

CHORUS
Ill say I dont love you
Ill say I dont care
Ill say I dont need you
Cause I know youre not standing there
And I’ll say all those things
And [C/B]Ill make i[Am/G]t sound sincere
When all I really want
Is to have you near

All the good books tell me
All the good books say
Pick yourself up off the ground
Boy, its another day
I look at them and wonder
Wonder if they knew
How it is to love someone
Whos not in love with you

(CHORUS)

How Many Days
By Jack Ingram
Written by Jim Lauderdale/Terry McBride
Sounds best using barre chords

I know why you asked me here
You’re not sure the coast is clear
You’re about to speak your mind
This small talk is a bad sign
Chorus
How many days have I been here tonight
How many days have I been here tonight
You keep stalling probably
Stretch it to eternity
Can’t feel guilty say your lines
Breakin’ my hearts not a crime
Chorus

Bridge:
I can’t take the suspense
How long can I go on like this
How many days have I been here tonight

Solo
Chorus
Bridge

How many days have I been here tonight
Since I’ve been here tonight

Beyond My Means

Capo 3

Livin’ beyond my means, don’t know how I’m gonna get by
Livin’ beyond my means, don’t ya know a man’s got to try
Don’t know how it started, all I know is it’s got to end
Got a noose around my neck and I don’t know why
I followed you to Detroit City then down to New Orleans
Trail after trail with nothing but a bottle of too old gin
Don’t know where you lead me all I know is I’ve got to go
Gotta find you baby, before I’m too old

Chorus:
Livin’ beyond my means
With all these loving you things
Don’t know how I’ll get by
Lord help me try

Do you remember that night in Dallas when you stole my heart
I didn’t put up a fight, baby just to find me one more start
Now it’s taken me out of my home and put me out on the street
This loving you thing has got me beat

Chorus

I called your name in Boston where I thought that you might be
On my way back to Texas, I took a long look down in Tennessee
This wild turkey chase, well, it’s got the best of me
I guess it’s best to quit when you’re behind
Chorus
