Tuning: E A D G B E
(Merle Haggard)
In Edowntown Modesto, I was working the Holiday AInn We were Eset with a gig that would last us, throughout the week B7end I was Eplaying a new song I wrote, on the way into Atown When she Ecame in the front door, and Bfound her a place to sit Edown
I Eknew right away, she knew the words to my Asongs Cause she Estared at my big guitar and followed my fingers too B7long EShe had the likeness of a girl, I'd seen in a Adream But, Elights can do wonders with Bmakeup and faded blue Ejeans
The Elast thing I needed was somebody messin' up my Amind So I Efound a hundred reasons for turning away one more B7time She could Ecause me to sing bad And fall out of love with gui Atars And Eblow all my chances of Bbeing a big singing Estar
With Eone passin' glance I could tell she was young for her Aage Yeah she Egot to lookin' better as she got down closer to the B7stage And as she Esipped on her wine I knew just the kind she would Abe And Esomehow I knew she was B7here to do bad things to Eme
The Elast thing I needed was somebody messin' up my Amind So I Efound a hundred reasons for turning away one more B7time She could Ecause me to sing bad And fall out of love with gui Atars And Eblow all my chances of Bbeing a big singing Estar
She could Ecause me to sing bad And fall out of love with gui Atars And Eblow all my chances of Bbeing a big singing Estar Blow all my chances at Bbeing a country music star
