Turn The Page

Intro: Em
Em
On a long and lonely highway east of omaha
D
You can listen to the engine, moanin out as one long song
A
Em
You can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before
Em
And your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do
D
When you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do
A
Em
You don't feel much like travelin', you just wish the trip was through

D
Em
But here I am, on the road again
D
Em
Here I am, up on the stage
D
A
Here I go, playing the star again
C
D
Em
There I go,
turn the page
Em
You walk into a restaraunt, strung out from the road
D
And you feel the eyes upon you, as you're shaking off the cold
A
Em
You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode
Em
Sometimes you can here 'em talk, other times you can't
D
All the same 'old cliches: is that a woman or a man?
A
Em
And you always seem outnumbered, you dare not make a stand
Refrain
Em
Out there in the spotlight, your a million miles away
D
Every ounce of energy, you try to give away
A
Em
And the sweat pours from your body, like the music that you play
Em
Later in the evening, as you lie awake in bed
D
Echos of the amplifiers, ringin' in your head
A
Em
As you smoke the days last cigarette, remembering what she said
Refrain X2

Gimme Back My Bullets

CHORUS

"Do you come from a land down under?
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover."
Buying bread from a man in Brussels, He was six foot four and full of muscle
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?" He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich,
And he said,
"I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder?
You better run, you better take cover." (Yeahhh!)
Dying in a den in Bombay With a slack jaw, and nothin' much to say
I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me, Because I come from the land of plenty?"
And he said,
"Oh, you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder?
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? (ooohh)
You better run, you better take cover."
We are..
Livin' in a land down under,
Where women glow and men plunder, (yeahhhhhhhhhh)
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? (thunderrrrr!)
You better run, you better take cover.
Livin' in a land down under,
Where women glow and men plunder,
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? (oooo yeahhhh!)
Then I run, and then I take cover. (yea)
We are...
Livin' in a land down under, (underrrr)
Where women glow and men plunder,
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? (oooo da da laa yeahhh!)
Then I run, then I take cover

"Folsom Prison Blues"


I hear the train a comin'
It's rolling round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when,
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone..
When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son,
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns.
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry..
Soooey!
I bet there's rich folks eating from a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars.
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
But those people keep a movin'
And that's what tortures me...
Well if they freed me from this prison,
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
Far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.....

Mama Tried
Merle Haggard

G
D
G
First thing I remember knowin' was a lonesome whistle blowin'
D

And a young-on's dream of growing up to ride
D
G
D
G
On a freight train leaving town, not knowing where I'm bound
D
A7
D
And no one could change my mind, but Mama tried
One and only rebel child, from a family meek and mild
Mama seemed to know what lay in store
'Spite of all my Sunday learnin', toward the bad I kept on turnin'
'Til Mama couldn't hold me anymore
CHORUS:
D
G
D
And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole
G
D
A7
No one could steer me right, but Mama tried, Mama tried
D
G
D
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading I denied,
A7
D
that leaves only me to blame, 'cause Mama tried
Dear old Daddy rest his soul, he left my mom a heavy load
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
Working hours without rest, she wanted me to have the best
She tried to raise me right, but I refused
CHORUS

Walkin' along beneath the lights of that miracle mile,

Watchin the summer sun fall out of sight

There's a warm wind comin' in, from off of the ocean

(verse chords)
There's a local band playin' at the seaside pavillion
And I got just enough cash to get us in
And as we are dancin' Mary's wrappin her arms around me
And I can feel the sting of summer on my skin
(bridge chords)
In the midst of the music, I tell her
We both laugh, cause we know it isn't
Oh, but Mary there's a summer drawin'
And there's so much that I long to do

I love her
true
to an end tonight
to you

Comfortably Numb
Hello, Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone home?
Come on, Now, I hear you're feeling down
I can ease your pain. Get you on your feet again
Relax, I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts, Can you show me where it hurts?
There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move, But I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like, Two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain, You would not understand, This is not how I am
I... Have become comfortably numb
O.K., Just a little pin prick
There'll be no more aaaaaaaah!, But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up? I do believe it's working good
That'll keep you going through the show, Come on It's time to go
There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move, But I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone
I... Have become comfortably numb

And I was going, just about as far as she' let me go.

But her evaluation of my cowboy reputation had me begging for salvation all night long.

So I took her out gigging frogs, introduced her to my old hound dog

And sang her every Skynyrd song I could think of, and we made love!

CHORUS

Last Dance With Mary Jane


She grew up in a Indiana town,
Had a good lookin' mama who never was around.
But she grew up tall and she grew up right
With them Indiana boys on an Indiana night.
Well she moved down here at the age of eighteen,
She blew the boys away; was more than they'd seen.
I was introduced and we both started groovin'
She said, "I dig you, baby, but I got to keep movin' - on.
Keep movin' on."
Chorus
Last dance with Mary Jane, one more time to kill the pain.
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm tired of this town again.
Well I don't know but I've been told, you never slow down, you never grow old.
I'm tired of screwin' up, tired of goin' down,
Tired of myself, tired of this town,
Oh my, my, oh hell yes - Honey put on that party dress.
Buy me a drink, sing me a song,
Take me as I come . cause I can't stay long.
(Repeat Chorus)
There's pigeons down on Market Square,
She's standing in her underwear.
Lookin' down from a hotel room,
Nightfall will be coming soon.
Oh my, my, oh hell yes, you got to put on that party dress.
It was too cold to cry, when I woke up alone.
I hit my last number, I walked to the road.

CHORUS

Gimme Three Steps


I was cutting the rug
Down at a place called The Jug
With a girl named Linda Lu
When in walked a man
With a gun in his hand
And he was looking for you know who.
He said, "Hey there fellow,
With the hair colored yellow,
Watcha tryin' to prove?
'Cause that's my woman there
And I'm a man who cares
And this might be all for you."
I was scared and fearing for my life.
I was shakin' like a leaf on a tree.
'Cause he was lean, mean,
Big and bad, Lord,
Pointin' that gun at me.
I said, "Wait a minute, mister,
I didn't even kiss her.
Don't want no trouble with you.
And I know you don't owe me
But I wish you'd let me
Ask one favor from you."
(Chorus)
"Won't you give me three steps,
Gimme three steps mister,
Gimme three steps towards the door?
Gimme three steps
Gimme three steps mister,
And you'll never see me no more."
SOLO
Well the crowd cleared away
And I began to pray
As the water fell on the floor.
And I'm telling you son,
Well, it ain't no fun
Staring straight down a forty-four.
Well he turned and screamed at Linda Lu
And that's the break I was looking for.
And you could hear me screaming a mile away
As I was headed out towards the door.

High Cost of Living


Jamey Johnson
C
C
I was just a normal guy. Life was just a nine to five.
C
G
With bills and pressure piled up to the sky.
G
G
She never asked, she knew I'd been, hangin' with my wilder friends.
G
C
looking for another way to fly.
F
Dm C
And crazy, was becoming my new norm. I'd pass out on the bedroom floor.
G
C
And sleep right through the calm before the storm.
F
My life was just an old routine.
G
C
A#
F
Everyday the same damn thing, I couldn't even tell I was alive.
C
G
C
I tell you. The high cost of living, ain't nothin' like the cost of living high.
C
C
That southern baptist parking lot. Was where I'd go and smoke my pot.
C
G
Sit there in my pick-up truck and pray.
G
G
And staring at that giant cross. Just reminded me that I was lost.
G
C
And it just never seemed to point the way.
C
C
As soon as Jesus turned his back. I'd find my way across the tracks.
F
Dm
Lookin' just to score another deal.
C
With my back against that damn eight ball.
G
C
I didn't have to think or talk or feel.
CHORUS
C
C
My whole life went through my head. Laying in that hotel bed.
C
G
Watchin' as the cops kicked in the door.
G
G
I had a job and a piece of land. And my sweet wife, was my best friend.
G
C
But I traded that for cocaine and a whore.
C
C
With my new found sobriety. I've got the time to sit and think.
F
Dm
C
Of all the things I had, and threw away. This prison is much colder than that,
G
C
one that I was locked up in just yesterday.

Family Tradition by Hank JR


E
A
Country music singers, have always been a real close family
B
E
But lately some of my kin folks, have disowned a few others and me.
A
I guess it's because, I kinda changed my direction,
B
E
Lord, I guess I went and broke their, Family Tradition. They get on me and
wanna know
E
A
B
Why do ya drink?
Why do you roll smoke? Why must you live out the
songs that you
E
A
B
wrote? Over and over, every body makes my prediction, if I get stoned I'm
just carrying
E
on an old Family Tradition.
I am very proud of my daddy's name, Although his kinda music,
And mine ain't exactly the same. Stop and think it over, put yourself in my
position,
If I get stoned and sing all night long, it's a Family Tradition. So don't ask me
Hank,
Why do ya drink, why do you roll smoke?
And why must you like out the songs that you wrote?
If I'm down in a honky tonk and some ol' slick tries to give me some friction,
I'll say leave me alone, I'm singin all night long, it's a Family Tradition.
Lordy I have loved some ladies, and I have loved Jim Beam.
They both tried to kill me in 1973. When that doctor asked me,
son how'd ya get in this condition,
I said hey sawbones, I'm just carryin on an old, Family Tradition.
Why do ya drink, why do you roll smoke?
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote? Stop and think it over,
try to put yourself in my unique position, If I get stoned and sing all night
long, it's a Family Tradition.

"The Truth" CAPO on 1


Tell 'em all I'm on vacation
Say I went to visit friends
That you ain't heard or seen from me in quite a while
When they ask you where I've been
Tell 'em I'm out on the West Coast
Where it don't ever rain
And that I'm probably doing fine
Just don't tell 'em I've gone crazy
That I'm still strung out over you
Tell 'em anythin' you want to
Just don't tell 'em all the truth
Yeah, don't tell 'em all the truth
Tell 'em all I'm out in Vegas
Blowin' every dollar I ever made
Tell 'em that I must be into somethin' bad for me
'Cause I sure lost a lot of weight
Tell 'em I'm out on the road
With some old rock and roll band
Living like a gypsy can
Just don't tell 'em I've gone crazy
That I'm still strung out over you
Tell 'em anythin' you want to
Just don't tell 'em all the truth
Yeah, don't tell 'em all the truth
The truth is that I'm askin' you to lie
And we both know that it ain't right
But if you ever loved me
Please have some mercy on me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Tell 'em anything you want to
Just don't tell 'em all the truth
Yeah, don't tell 'em all the truth
I still need you
Yeah, that's the truth
I still love you
Baby, that's the truth

Simple Man by Lynyrd Skynyrd


CAPO 1st fret
Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say.
And if you do this
It'll help you some sunny day. Oh Yah!
Oh, take your time... Don't live too fast,
Troubles will come and they will pass.
You'll find a woman, yea yea, you'll find love,
And don't forget son,
There is someone up above.
(Chorus)
And be a simple, kind of man.
Oh be something, you love and understand.
Baby be a simple, kind of man.
Oh, won't you do this for me son,
If you can?
Forget your lust, for the rich man's gold
All that you need, is in your soul,
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.
(Chorus)
Frank solo 6th fret
Boy, don't you worry... you'll find yourself.
Follow your heart, lord, and nothing else.
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try.
All that I want for you my son,
Is to be satisfied.
(Chorus)
Baby be a simple, be a simple man.
Oh be something, you love and understand.
Baby be a simple, kind of man. (Fade out)

Ohh and this one here was taken over seas
In the middle of hell in 1943
In the winter time you can almost see my breath
That was my tail gunner ole Johnny Magee
He was a high school teacher from new Orleans
And he had my back right through the day we left.
If it looks like we were scared to death
Like a couple of kids just trying to save each other
You should've seen it in color.
A picture's worth a thousand words
But you cant see what those
shades of gray keep covered
You should've seen it in color

This one is my favorite one.


This is me and grandma in the summer sun
All dressed up the day we said our vows.
You can't tell it here but it was hot that June
That rose was red and her eyes were blue
And just look at that smile I was so proud.

What I Got
D
G
Early in the morning, Rise up to the street
Light me up that cigarette and I'll slap shoes on my feet
Got to find a reason Reason things went wrong
Got to find a reason why my money's all gone
I got a dalmation I can still get high
I can play the guitar Like a motherfuckin' riot
Life is too short
So love the one you got
Cause you might get run over
or you might get shot
Never start static
I just get it off my chest
Never had to battle with my
bulletproof vest
Take a small example
Take a tip from me
Take all of your money
Give it up to charity
Love is what I got
Is with in my reach
the sub rock styles
dealt straight from Long Beach
It come back to you
You're gonna get what you deserve
Try'n test that
Your bound to get served
Love's what I got
Don't start a riot
You'll feel it when
the dance get's hot
Love is
What i got
I said remember that
Love is
What I got
Now remember that
I don't cry When my dog runs away
Don't get angry Bout the bills I have to pay
Don't get angry when my mom smokes pot
Hits the bottle and goes right to the rock
Fuck it fight it It's all the same, Livin with Louey Dog's The only way to stay sane
Let the lovin' Let the lovin come back to me

Long Haired Country Boy


D
People say I'm no good, crazy as a loon.
Cause I get stoned in the morning, and drunk in the afternoon.
Kinda like my old blue tick hound, like to lay around in the shade.
I ain't got no money, but I damn sure got it made.
G
And I ain't asking nobody for nothin,
D
If I can't get it on my own.
A
If you don't like the way I'm living,
C
G
D
Leave this long haired country boy alone.
Preacher man talking on the TV, putting down the rock n roll.
He wants me to send a donation, cause he's worried about my soul.
He said Jesus walked on the water, and I know that is true.
But sometimes I think that preacher man ought to do a little walking too.
CHORUS
A poor girl wants to marry, a rich girl wants to flirt.
A rich man goes to college, and a poor man goes to work.
A drunkard wants another drink of wine and a politician wants your vote.
I don't want much of nothing at all, but I will take another toke.
CHORUS

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you.
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do.
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you.
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you.
No, I don't want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you (This world is only gonna break your heart)
What a wicked game to play, to make me feel this way.
What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you.
What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way.
What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you and,
I want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I want to fall in love (This world is only gonna break your heart)

Through "I love you" echoes down the canyon
And we'll lie awake at night 'til they come back around
Please come to L.A., we'll live forever
The California life alone is just too hard to bear
We'll live in a house that looks out over the ocean
And we'll see stars fall from the sky, livin' up on the hill
