VERSE:
It’s 7:30 in the morning. And I’m waking to face the
new day
You’re lying next to me and you’re waking too ‘Cause
you know I’ll soon be on my way
(Repeat progression for all verses)
Oh to me you still look just as pretty in the morning
no make-up and hair
As you do in tthe evening the moon shining down in
that sexy red dress that you wear.
Oh the factory they don’t treat me like you do. They
don’t care about how I smile
But if the pickup still runs at the end of the day,
I’ll be home in a while.
So baby pour me another cup of coffee and kiss me and
hold me once more
Look in my eyes, I’ll take that moment with me and
I’ll remember what I’m working for.
CHORUS:
I hope that my friends have these moments
I hope that they get it somehow
I hope that they look at their wives in the morning
The same way I’m seeing you now.

It’s 7:30 in the morning. And I’m waking to face the
new day
You’re lying next to me and you’re waking too ‘cause
you know I’ll soon be on my way
SOLO: (Harmonica)
(Use the same progression as the verse)
VERSE:
In a moment we can go wake the children. But for now,
let’s just watch them sleep
We can take in these times someday we’ll call
timeless. We’ll remember these you and me dreams.
The day has a way of sneaking in. It breaks through
the window without warning
Oh but be alarmed and don’t worry darling. Just enjoy
the morning
CHORUS:
OUTRO:
(Same progression as verse 2X)

Everyday at lunch in highschool and all my senior year
I drank my coca-cola, with a touch of everclear
I never had to study math, science or history
I’d have a chemical flashback to jog my memory
My junior year I swore I loved sweat miss Sherry Anne
One night I put some everclear in her Dr. Pepper can
I thought it make her easy but she took it pretty hard
D(ring) Cadd6(let ring)
I took her home and rang her doorbell left her layin in

the yard

(Chorus below)
Tequila dries me out, and beer just makes me fat
Whiskey makes me naucious tell me who the hell needs that
if your thinkin about drinkin well the answers crystal clear
Cadd9(one quick strum)
its the invisible intoxicant, its called everlear

(Play intro riff 1x)
(then…)

I remember my church picnic, in the spring of ’89
Yeah they had four fresh watermelons sliced right off the
vine
Everyone bowed their heads givin grace to the food
Hey I pulled out my bottle, and i soaked them melons good
They never knew what hit ‘em, when the potion went to work
We had grandmas doin backflips, grandpas lookin up their
skirts
They were singin halleluja and Willie Nelson songs
D(let ring)
Preacher said it was the best dang picnic that the
Cadd9(let ring)
Baptists have ever thrown

(Chorus)
(Play intro riff 1x)

When I’m drinkin everclear I think I’m king of this whole

world
I’m bigger and badder than John Wayne and cooler than Steve
Earl
Untill I wake up and I’m faced down in the hall
Hey I’m completely naked for a reason I can’t recall
Well I’m kinda sorta thinkin, that maybe I met a chick
‘Cause there’s perfume in the air and there’s lipstick on
my neck
Well I hope that she was pretty and I hope that she was kind
D(let ring) Cadd9(let ring)
enough to leave my clothes somewere they’re easy to find

(Chorus)

(Play intro as Outro)
(End on G)

This is a bad song, from an awesome TEXAS COUNTRY singer, so here goes:

Intro: A E D

Love aint what this songs about

Candle light aint what im in the mood for now

I dont need a metaphor to help me get this out

Love aint what this songs about

Chorus:

Its about playin the fool and acting without thinking

Its about runnin with your buddies who dont give a damn

What in the world happens to you man

No love aint what this songs about

Verse 2:

Crying aint what your gonna hear
You wont have any salty tears drownin in your beer
and if your feelin down then friend you better just steer clear
No crying ain what your gonna hear

Chorus 2:

Its about wine and women and song
Its about doing one thing and makin sure your doin it wrong
Its about giving in to your deepest desire
Setting the whole damn world on fire
No crying aint what your gonna hear

Love aint what this songs about
The worlds got you trapped and friend theres no way out
So give in to your deepest desire and set this whole damn world on fire
No love aint what this songs about

Ending: DDA DDA

Well there you go hope you enjoy!

Key: E

Intro: E A

I’ve been around the world a long time mister
and i’ve got a thing or two to say
i wont try to bore you with a tough tounge twister
you wouldn’t bite that anyways

and love is so sweet
it makes you bounce when you walk down the street

(same as verse I – E A)
you’ve been to school you say you are a lawyer
walked out of a magazine
i’ve been a drifter and a whole life loser
but you could learn alot from me

hey i, i gotta say, i have looked at life a whole another way
love is so sweet
it makes you bounce when you walk down the street
E A (through whole) solo
solo — guitar / fiddle
(kick drum — one strum for each chord)
(same E A pattern)
one thing in common is we all are different
we’re supposed to be that way
live and let live is such a good reminder
you’d do well to be that way

hey i, i gotta say, i have looked at life a whole another way
yeah, and love is so sweet
it makes you bounce when you walk down the street

yeah i said love is so sweet
it makes you bounce when you walk down the street

hey i said love is so sweet
A (no chords)
it makes you bounce when you walk down the street
E A, E

Capo 2

Looks like I really screwed up again
Should’ve learned by now that I aint never gonna win
I know the reason, I didn?t even ask, I?ve heard it all from relationships past
Now I?m on my own again
But as you leave, I say there goes another good woman
Should?ve learned by now, that I can catch ?em, but I cant hold ?em
I take it all with a grain of salt, don?t worry darlin’ this ain?t your fault
Sometimes you just gotta know when to fold ?em

Chorus:
Tonight I’m down at the dancehall, I’m a single man
I’ll be laughin?, and dancin?, and knockin? ?em back, and throwin? caution to the wind
You can search my heart for answers, and what I’m all about
These are my ways, I’ll never change, you should’ve learned by now

I still get down when I think of you
I ran you off like a proud card carryin? fool
There’ll be no justifyin?, not even worth the tryin?
I’m wrong, we both know its true
You know I’d change if I really thought it’d work
I hate bein? responsible for someone else’s hurt
Like an old broken record, I repeat the same mistakes
The flames go up and another heart gets burned

Chorus
And I’ll turn it all aro-u-n-d

Chorus 2:
Tonight I’m out at the dance hall, I?m a single man
I’ll be laughin?, jokin?, drinkin? and smokin?, cuttin? up with all of my friends
And there’s nothin? in the world more sad than a broken hearted sinner
Out in the world, here in this bar, tryin like hell to be a winner

Looks like I really screwed up again,
Should’ve learned by now, that I aint never gonna win

Intro: G C G C G C G C (Harmonica over chords)
Verse:
Sometimes I sit in my backyard. I kick back and drink Iced tea.
I stare all the way to the ocean and I dream of how it would be
If I were a ship captain somewhere or an old fashioned sailor at sea,
Or a stowed away pirate just down below hiding and praying the law don’t find me.
Maybe I’d sail from Nantucket chasing the great white whale.
Oh without a sound, I’d run him aground then I’d bring old Ahab the tail.
Yeah I’d show old Ahab his tail.
Chorus:
But I’m not a (sailor, outlaw, runaway), I’m just a man stuck here in the promised land.
C D G (Syncopated rhythm)
Living hard and living free.
I’m a dreamer that’s what I got, Oh but here goes one last shot and
C D G(Same Rhythm) ?Intro
I hope someday they’re dreaming about me.
Verse:
Sometimes I dream I’m a cowboy around 1949.
I’d cross the border on horseback with a real close buddy of mine.
I’d know we’d run from trouble but I’m sure its what we’d find.
When you’re out of the frying pan into the fire, who cares what you leave behind.
I know fall in love down there and I’d probably end up in jail.
When you fall in love with a rich man’s daughter, who’s going to go your bail?
Hey I hate them Mexican jails.
Chorus
Solo: G C G C ?
Verse: this verse is only half of the G C progression?you’ll see. (it’s shorter)
I’d love to go rafting the waters: riding the mighty Mississip.
I’d float around from town to town causing trouble then I’d give them the slip.
That water could take me back to the days of young Huck Finn.
I’d sleep all day and smoke all night and play tricks on old Jim.
Yeah I think I’d like old Jim.

Intro chords:
[G/F#]
Ma[G/F#]gnets attract or magnets repel.
They either connect or they fight like hell.
It depends on how you turn them.
Al[G/F#]l hopped up on passion
Gal you lose all your rationale And so do I
when the fires start burning.
It’s OK to lose control now and then.
That’s just the way it is.

Chorus:
Love is crazy. Always has been.
Make you laugh and cry and stay up all night.
Love is crazy, always will be.
Baby hang on tight cause love is crazy.

Ch[G/F#]asing each other around at 2 am
The neighbor’s patience is wearing thin
Cause we live our lives too loud
Th[G/F#]ey’re not sure we’re doing this right
Don’t they make love after they fight
Honey, we don’t need that crowd
They say we’ve lost our minds
But who cares if they’re right

Chorus

Bridge:
If it was up to you and me, the world could use more insanity

Chorus

At the end of the verses play – E A B E

61st floor way downtown,

You can’t see what’s coming down
The mail lady brings a pink slip
And an empty box for my desk
Says, “Pack what you brought leave us the rest.”

Down in the parking garage I pray my truck starts again
When the CEO passes me in his new Mercedes Benz
He’s toking on a Cuban
While mine blows out the tailpipe
Some get rich while the rest get by

(Chorus)

The rich keep getting richer, but I keep staying poor
I’m working this overtime to help event the score
It feels like I’m working towards the welfare line,
But someday I’ll get mine

The big boss man and his jolly pirate crew
Were watching and planning
And plotting to get away with the loot
So clever and so quiet,
Wall Street never heard a sound
They grabbed the last piece of gold as the ship went down

Now there’s handcuffs jangling against a Rolex watch
And a squad car at the palace there to chauffeur him off
But, you know, I’ll bet some poor working stiff gets stuck serving the time
Cause some get rich while the rest get by

(Chorus)

I met up with old Saint Peter there
At the Great Pearly Gates
He told my old boss in front of me,
“Sir you’ll have to wait.”
Then he waved me on through and he winked his eye
He told me, “Some get rich while the rest get by.”

By Roger Creager

A crowded restaurant and here you are
I’m doing fine but you have come so far
I ask how long its been like I dont know
Ive been counting the days since youve been gone
Youd think my love would show

Chorus:
But I hear youre doing great out on your own
Youre having a ball, have friends that call you on the telephone
Youve got hopes, Youve got dreams , youve really got it made
I used to feel the same until the day you went away

I dont know why I thought youd be around
Looking back I see I really held you down
Thinking that Id always have it all,
I hate the way youre riding high then all at once you take the fall

Chorus

Everyone is looking right at you
When you walk in you really steal the show
Youre the one thing I shouldve held on to
But standing today I’m trying like hell to let you go

Solo

Chorus

You packed up your things and then you said goodbye
You’d think after all we shared – you could tell me
why
The flames were burning hot now baby, too hot to hold
But now I see your love was burning cold

But don’t you worry about me, I’m feelin’ sorry for
you
and when I sleep tonight, at least I’ll know my love
is true
(mute) C9
‘cause baby Im better than you

I’m moving on, to a place where love is strong
I’moving on. Does this sound like a sad country song?
I dusted myself off, I’m back in the saddle again
Yeah I lost in love with you but now I’m ready to win
I’m Movin on

No more trying to get you back
and no more crying over what I thought we had
When I said “I need you” and that I was all alone
Now good old compassionate you, you slammed down the
phone

(Chorus)

So save your money – save your time
Save your ragged little mind
you turned your love off like a switch
Girl your such a dirty little @#%!

(Change to Key of A)

I’m moving on to a place where love is strong
I’m moving on
Does this sound like a sad country song?
(slow down)
You probably thought I’d write a sad country song.
Does this sound like a sad country song?
