Burrito Brothers Sing Me Back Home written by Merle Haggard

The warden led a prisoner down the hallway to his doom
I got up up to say good-bye like all the rest
And I heard him tell the warden just before he reached my cell
Let my guitar playing friend do my request
Won’t you Sing me back home with a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing Me Back Home before I die

SOLO

I recall last Sunday morning when a choir came in from town
And got up to sing a few old gospel songs
Then I heard him tell the singers there’s a song my mama sang.
Would you sing it just once before we move along
Won’t you Sing me back home with a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away and turn back the years
Sing Me Back Home before I die

Flying Burrito Brothers All Alone written by Chris Hillman
Rick Roberts

All alone
She waits at the window
While the sun
Sets in the sea
Is that the sound of his footsteps
That echoes in the hall
And then they fade away
No it wasn’t him after all
He was gone
In the early morning
And he said
He wouldn’t be long
But that was spring
And now that the leaves have all turned brown
She only shares her bed
With the lonliness she has found

SOLO E Asus A E Asus A F G A A7

Still she waits
Alone at the window
For the one
Who wandered away
Each day the room grows colder
Her tears grow harder to hold
And still she saves her love
For the day she knows he’ll come home

SOLO D A D A D A D A

Is that the sound of his footsteps
That echoes in the hall
And then they fade away
No it wasn’t him after all

Intro: D Dsus4 D G G6 G

There is a man, a tall man, follows no one
Out in a storm can he stay warm
from all the things that hes done
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/f/flying_burrito_brothers/down_in_the_churchyard_crd.html )
Oh the city lights are such pretty lights
Cant he move on, tell him its alright
Sing your song and say that its alright
Say its alright

There is a man, a crippled man, is he soldier
Can his new wife live out her life
the way he told her

Oh see her pride, I see it burning bright
Be a scream and say thats its alright
Shake your fist and tell him its alright
Say its alright

Where you have been is not a sin, its where youre going
Hurt anyone by what youve done
and it starts showing

Although you cant complain about the wind and the rain
You gather down in the churchyard just the same
You want everyone to wash away the stain
Its very claim

#Flying Burrito Brothers Why Are You Crying by Rick Roberts
#
Why are you crying and what can I do
G C G C G^?
It’s not so easy just watching you cry all alone
Can you tell me what’s wrong
And if you think it might help I can bring my guitar and sing you a
song
I know love’s made a fool of others
And I know love’s made a fool of me
Try to answer questions that you never even asked of me
I know you’ve been left in doubt by the things that you not sure about
Well I can say I’ve been there too
And maybe we can both find out if you will tell me
Why are you crying and what can I do
It’s not so easy just watching you cry all alone
Can you tell me what’s wrong
And if you think it might help I can bring my guitar and sing you a
song
You say there’s no way I can help and in the end that might be true
But you never know untill you try
And that’s all I’ve asked of you
And I can see you have your secrets
And that’s all right I have mine too
But you should always share your troubles
Makes it that much easier on you
Why are you crying and what I can do
It’s not so easy just watching you cry all alone
Can you tell me what’s wrong
And if you think it might help I can bring my guitar and sing you a
song

Flying Burrito Brothers Crazy Arms written by Seals/Mooney

Well Blue aint the word for the way that I feel
There’s a storm that’s brewing in this heart of mine.
This is no crazy dream, I know that it’s real.
That why I’m so lonesome all the time
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new,
While my aching heart keeps saying you’re not mine.
This is no crazy dream I know that’s it’s real
Right now I’m so lonesome all the time

SOLO

So Please take the treasured dreams I’ve had for you and me.
And take all the love I thought was mine.
Cause Someday my troubled arms will hold someone new
But now I’m so lonesome all the time.
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new,
While my aching heart keeps saying you’re not mine.
My troubled mind knows that soon to another you’ll be wed
That’s why I’m so lonesome all the time

Take me to heart and I’ll always love you

So if you wanna do right all day woman
You gotta be a do right all night man

But you can’t prove that by me
So as long as we’re together baby
You better show some respect for me
So if you wanna do right all day woman
You gotta be a do right all night man
You gotta be a do right all night man
You gotta be a do right all night man
You gotta be a do right all night man

#Flying Burrito Brothers Dark End Of The Street by Spencer Oldham
# Dan Penn
#

At the dark end of the street that’s where we’ll always meet
Hiding in shadows where we don’t belong
Living in darkness to hide our wrongs you and me
At the dark end of the street you and me
I know that time’s gonna take it’s toll
We’ll have to pay for the love that we stole
Oh it’s a sin and we both know that we’re wrong
But our love keeps coming on strong you and me
At the dark end of the street you and me
They’re gonna find us they’re gonna find us
They’re gonna find us someday
We’ll steal away to the dark end of the street you and me
SOLO
If you should take a walk downtown and find some time to look around
If you should see me and I walk on by
Oh darling please don’t cry tonight we’ll meet
At the dark end of the street you and me
You and me you and me

From the “Gilded Palace Of Sin” LP A & M Records

I don’t ever think about tomorrow
What or why are all on another day
But I think that it’s been said
By somebody up ahead
The older guys tell us what it’s all about (ooh ooh ooh)
The older guys really got it all worked out (ooh ooh ooh)
Since we got the older guys to show us how
I don’t see why we can’t start right now

It’s so costly living down on the ocean
Bed on the beach is where I wanna rent my home
And I think that it’s been said
By somebody up ahead

The older guys get the ladies with the style (ooh ooh ooh)
The older guys squeeze them till it makes them smile (ooh ooh ooh)
What’s the use in looking like a cop on the beat
What’s the use in looking like a girl on the street
