INTRO: D A E A X 2

I live in the quarters they call it skid row
We all share the kitchen, one room is my home
This uniforms pride is worn out like my own
Still I use it to hide in, 8 hours til’ home

CHORUS:
And I think about, how it could have been better.
I can see children, a family togeather.
But now all I know, is an endless tomorrow.
So I reach for the bottle in a room I call home.

I carry my key watching over the yard
Some do it easy and some do it hard.
Once I was certain, but now I can see.
There’s not a whole lot of difference between them and me.

CHORUS

Instrumental- VERSE cHORDS X 1

Some nights I fear
I’ll be walking the landings
In the life after here. (pause)

Modified CHORUS:

And I think about, how it could have been better.
I can see children, a family togeather.
But now I’m all alone
and I’m drowning in sorrow
So I reach for the bottle
Yeah I reach for the bo–ttle in a room I call home

OUTRO: VERSE CHORDS X 1

NOTE- This is not entirely identical, as I just play this acoustically so
of course it doesn’t have the fills a full band will give it. Enjoy!!!

INTRO: A A7

Well I’m nothing much to look at
You’d say I’m just a plain old jane
My mom thinks I’m real special
She’s got my photo on a wall and framed
And she wants to know how long until
Mister right will come along
When I find a man who understands
Just where I’m coming from

CHORUS:

Hey boy you’re a real good looker
Come sit and cuddle up with me
Oh but when he did underneath his lid
He had no personality
Thats the trouble with the world
When a man meets a girl
And only looks at what’s outside
He’ll miss the hidden thing
That makes me sing
Like the first rollercoaster ride

VERSE:

Well I work out in the country
And I like to sing my songs
It doesn’t matter if
I’m hanging with my friends
And they help me sing along
And all the while I’m searchin’
For a man who wants to know
What I’m all about inside and out
On a ride that’s ready to go

CHORUS:

BREAK: A D A, A B7 E, A D B, D A E A

BRIDGE:

Well this plain jane want’s a man the same
So he can smile with me in my moms picture frame

CHORUS:

Hey boy you’re a real good looker
Come sit and cuddle up with me
Oh but when he did underneath his lid
He had no personality
Thats the trouble with the world
When a man meets a girl
And only looks at what’s outside
He’ll miss the hidden thing
That makes me sing
Like the first rollercoaster ride

TAG:
He’ll miss the hidden thing
That makes my heart sing
Like the first rollercoaster ride

Intro:


If I could be your star
I would bright and light your world
I’d play a song on my guitar.

Then you could be my sky
a place where I could shine than hide
and fall into the night.

Chorus:
If I was way out far
Like a lighthouse in the dark
I’d shine an everloving light
I’d whisper songs on my guitar.

If you could be my sunrise
I’d wake to find you by my side
and gently hold you with my eyes.

The I -d be your sunset
I would close down all the bad,
but promise, the next best day ahead.

CHORUS

Bridge:
Endless Courage
Discovers why I
want to be in your life.

repeat verse 1.

Chorus

(I prefer to play the intro as the outro, as Sara’s version
has alot of instrumentals to fill the bars out)

This chart has been done in the key for the singer
you will have to change the key for yourself!

What’s so good about a country man

Well I’ve seen and been with many of them
And though some reputations are not to flash
They’ve got a way to make the good times last
And I woudn’t swap ‘em no for a city'o

I’ll tell you I know what’s good about a country man

Cause I’ve danced the pants off many of them
Oh they’ll swing around and they’ll make your heart pump faster
Than the engine of a racing car
And if the party’s on make sure you let’em know

Bridge

Cause they are rodeo and cowboy shows
Akubra hats and wrangler cloths
There are R.M. boots and busted arse utes
They’re workers and ringers and romeos

What’s so good about a country man

That only country women can understand
Oh there are many times misunderstood
Been known to drink a few more than he should
And if they go to far that’s just the way they are

What’s so good about a country man
What’s so good about a country man

What’s so good about a country man

Well I’ve seen and been with many of them
And through some reputations are not to flash
They’ve got a way to make the good times last
And I woudn’t swap ‘em no for a city'o
I tell you
I wouldn’t swap you no for a city’o

What’s so good..(What’s so good)
What’s so good
What’s so good..(What’s so good)

What’s so good..(What’s so good)
I tell you……(What’s so good)
What’s so good..(What’s so good)

VERSE 1:

Can I be a whirly wind
and travel miles and then start again
But in a new place
Can I be an old green swag?
And have some cowboy come along
And carry me away

Can I be a drop of rain?
That falls down gently on an old ghost gum
On the hottest day
And can I be a sunset’s ray?
That lights your eyes
And stands you still on Inverway

CHORUS:
At this moment that’s all I can do
Is dream about all that we’ve been through
So as I close my eyes, I watch the darkness come alive
And I start dreaming my sweet dreams of you

INTRO FILL:

VERSE 2:
Can I be a road trains dust?
You’d see me coming and then I bust in
And say g’day
And can I be a mum and dad?
With a heap of kids in an old dual cab
Going a long long way

And can I be a Min Min light?
And take some people in the night
Without a trace
And can I be a campfires heart?
That cries sad stories and then it laughs
Until the sunrise wakes

CHORUS:
At this moment that’s all I can do
Is dream about all that we’ve been through
So as I close my eyes, I watch the darkness come alive
And I start dreaming my sweet dreams of you

INTRO FILL:

SOLO:

Can I be a whirly wind
and travel miles and then start again
But in a new place
Can I be an old green swag?
And have some cowboy come along
And carry me away

CHORUS:
At this moment that’s all I can do
Is dream about all that we’ve been through
So as I close my eyes, I watch the darkness come alive
And I start dreaming my sweet dreams of you
Yes as I close my eyes I watch the darkness come alive
And I start dreaming my sweet dreams of you

OUTRO: SAME AS INTRO

Intro Am G Am

For thirty eight years, my life had begun
I was never a man without holding a gun
Now all that I hold is regret and I’m too old to run.
And for thirty eight years, I’ve not walked on grass
Living the life of my crimes from the past
But I’d give it all back just to lie in the arms of my love.

CHORUS :
Throw away shotgun, throw away sorrow
Live out of existence, turn good for tomorrow
I am a bank robber, and a girl I desire
I’ve changed for the better I am not a damn liar
My name’s Tommy Foster and all that I’ve robbed is my life.

And for thiry eight years, I’ve seen growm men cry
and I’ve watched them come back time after time
and I hate them for having the chance, why can’t it be mine.
And for thirty eight years, it’s long since the stars
shined into my eyes, not to care of my past
And the lady I love, you’ve found the good in my heart.

CHORUS

Bridge:
It’s three thirty again, the head miles begin
And the windows too high and I can’t see the sun
And I can’t stop this pain, so I think of you love
You’ve shown me the way, while others gave up
Oh you’ve shown me the way to what I can become.

Outro:
Oh my names Tommy Foster and all that I’ve robbed is my life
Oh my names Tommy Foster and all that I’ve robbed i-s m-y life.
