1.) "She Used to Love Me a Lot"
[Intro]
Bm
[Verse 1]
Bm A Bm
I saw her through the window today
D Bm
She was sitting in the Silver Spoon café
G
I started to keep going
D Bm
But something made me stop
G A Bm
She used to love me a lot
[Verse 2]
A Bm
She looked lonely and I knew the cure
D Bm
Old memories would win her heart for sure
G
I thought I'd walk on in there
D Bm
And give it my best shot
G A Bm
She used to love me a lot
Cm
[Verse 3]
Bb Cm
I sat down beside her and she smiled
Eb Cm
She said, "Where have you been? It's been awhile"
G#
She seemed so glad to see me
Eb Cm
Lord, I could read her thoughts
G# Bb Cm
She used to love me a lot
[Chorus]
G# Eb
She used to love me with a love that wouldn't die
G# G
Looking at her now, I can't believe I said goodbye
G# Eb Cm
It would only take a minute to turn back the clock
G# Bb Cm
She used to love me a lot
C#m
[Verse 4]
C#m B C#m
Well, I reminded her how good it was back then
E C#m
And I said, "You know, it's not too late to start again
A
We could spend the night together
E C#m
Take up where we left off"
A B C#m
She used to love me a lot
[Verse 5]
B C#m
Then I panicked as she turned to walk away
E C#m
As she went out the door, I heard her say,
A
"Yes, I'm in need of something
E C#m
But it's something you ain't got
A B C#m
But I used to love you a lot"
[Chorus]
A E
She used to love me with a love that wouldn't die
A G#
Looking at her now, I can't believe she said goodbye
A E C#m
It would only take a minute to turn back that old clock
A B C#m
She used to love me a lot
A B C#m
She used to love me a lot
A B C#m
She used to love me a lot
A B C#m
She used to love me a lot
A B C#m
She used to love me a lot

[Chorus]

Mona Lisa lost her smile
D G
The painter's hands are trembling now

It's just because I taught her how

Is laying shattered on the ground

Mona Lisa lost her smile

And the painter's hands are trembling now

And the eyes that used to burn for me
D G
Now they no longer look my way
Am A
And the love that used to be
Am D
Why, it just got lost in yesterday
G Am
And if she seems cold to the touch
D G
Well, there used to burn a flame
Am A
I gave too little, took too much
Am D
'Til I erased the painter's name
[Chorus]
G Am
Mona Lisa lost her smile
D G
The painter's hands are trembling now

And if she's out there running wild

Mona Lisa lost her smile

And the painter's hands are trembling now

It's laying there shattered on the ground

3.) "The Ride"
[!] Capo on 3rd fret [!]
[Intro]
G D A
G D A
[Verse 1]
A
Well, I was thumbing from Montgomery
C
I had my guitar on my back
D A
When a stranger stopped beside me in an antique Cadillac
A
He was dressed like 1950
C
Half-drunk and hollow-eyed
D A
He said, "It's a long walk to Nashville, would you like a ride, son?"
[Verse 2]
A
Well, I sat down in the front seat
C
And turned on the radio
D A
And them sad old songs coming out of them speakers was solid country gold
A
Then I noticed the stranger was ghost-white pale
C
When he asked me for a light
D A
And I knew there was something strange about this ride
[Chorus]
G D A
He said, "Drifter, can you make folks cry when you play and sing?
A
Have you paid your dues? Can you moan the blues?
E
Can you bend them guitar strings?"
G D A
He said, "Boy, can you make folks feel what you feel inside?
G D A
'cause if you're big star bound, let me warn ya, it's a long hard ride"
[Interlude]
G D A
[Verse 3]
A
Then he cried just south of Nashville
C
And he turned that car around
D A
He said, "This is where you get off, boy, 'cause I'm goin' back to Alabam'"
A
As I stepped out of that Cadillac
C
I said, "Mister, many thanks"
D
He said, "You don't have to call me Mister, Mister
A
The whole world called me Hank"
[Chorus]
G D A
He said, "Drifter, can you make folks cry when you play and sing?
A
Have you paid your dues? Can you moan the blues?
E
Can you bend them guitar strings?"
G D A
He said, "Boy, can you make folks feel what you feel inside?
G D A
'cause if you're big star bound, let me warn ya, it's a long hard ride"
G D A
He said, "Drifter, can you make folks cry when you play and sing?
A
Have you paid your dues? Can you moan the blues?
E
Can you bend them guitar strings?"
G D A
He said, "Boy, can you make folks feel what you feel inside?
G D A
'cause if you're big star bound, let me warn ya, it's a long hard ride
G D A
If you're big star bound, let me warn ya, it's a long hard ride"

4.) "Now I Lay Me Down to Cheat"
[Chorus]
N.C. C
Now I lay me down to cheat
D G
On the woman I love so
Am
And if I die between these sheets
D G Cadd9 G
I pray to God she'll never know
[Verse 1]
G Am
She's the best thing in his life
D G
Why, she worships the ground that he walks on
G Am
She waits up for him at night and worries
D G
Until he's safely home
Am Bm
And she always believes his stories about working overtime
Am D D7
And in 20 years beside him, cheating's never crossed her mind
[Verse 2]
G Am D
...ah, but it crossed his
G
Early last summer
G
In the person of a neighbor
Am D
She still calls her friend
G
And with a little push from drinking one too many
G
One night in the fall, he gave in
Am Bm Am
And now, he wishes he could stop himself, but there's no easy way
D
So he lays down with his lover and silently he prays...
[Chorus]
C
Now I lay me down to cheat
D G
On the woman I love so
Am
And if I die between these sheets
D G
I pray to God she'll never know
Eb
[Verse 3]
Ab
In his heart and soul
Bbm Eb Ab
He knew that he was playing a game he could never win
Ab
But ya know, forbidden fruit is sweet
Bbm Eb Ab
Why, it was sweet enough to make him risk it all again
Bbm Cm
And now, he's given up on looking for a way to fight the feeling
Bbm
So he prays this simple prayer
Eb
And hopes it makes it past the motel ceiling
[Chorus 2]
Db
Now I lay me down to cheat
Eb Ab
On the woman I love so
Bbm
And if I die between these sheets
Eb Ab Db Ab
I pray to God she'll never know

5.) "Tennessee Whiskey"
[Intro]
D A D
[Verse 1]
D G D
I used to spend my nights out in a bar room
G D A
Liquor was the only love I'd known
D G D
But you rescued me from reaching for the bottom
G D A D
Brought me back from being too far gone
[Chorus]
D G D
You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
A
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
D G
You're as warm as a glass of brandy
D A D
And I stay stoned on your love all the time
[Interlude]
D A D
[Verse 2]
D G D
I looked for love in all the same old places
G D A
Found the bottom of the bottle's always dry
D G D
But when you poured out your heart, I didn't waste it
G D A D
'cause there's nothing like your love to get me high
[Chorus]
D G D
You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
A
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
D G
You're as warm as a glass of brandy
D A D G
And I stay stoned on your love all the time
D A D
I stay stoned on your love all the time

6.) "If That Ain't Country"
[!] Capo on 1st fret [!]
[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A
The old man was covered with tattoos and scars
D
He got some in prison and others in bars
E A
The rest he got workin' on old junk cars in the daytime
A
They looked like tombstones in our yard
D E A
And I never seen him when he wasn't tired and mean
A
He sold used parts to make ends meet
D
Covered with grease from his head to his feet
E A
Cussing the sweat and the Texas heat and mo-skeeters
A
And the neighbors said we lived like hicks
D E A
But they brung their cars for Pa to fix anyhow
A
He was veteran proud, tried and true
D
He'd fought 'til his heart was black and blue
E A
Didn't know how he'd made it through the hard times
A
He'd bought our house on the G.I. Bill
D E A
But it wasn't worth all he had to kill to get it
A
He drank Pearl in a can and Jack Daniel's black
D
Chewed tobacco from a mail-pouch sack
E A
Had an old dog that was trained to attack... sometimes
A
He'd get drunk and mean as a rattlesnake
D E A
And there wasn't too much that he would take from a stranger
[Pre-Chorus]
D E
There were 13 kids and a bunch of dogs
A D
House full of chickens and a yard full of hogs
E D E A
I spent the summertime cutting up logs for the winter
D E
Tryin' like the devil to find the Lord
A D
Working like a n----- for my room and board
E
Coal-burning stove, no natural gas
A
If that ain't country, I'll kiss your ass
[Chorus]
D E A
If that ain't country, it'll hairlip the pope
D E A
If that ain't country, it's a damn good joke
D E A D
I've seen the Grand Ole Opry and I've met Johnny Cash
E A
If that ain't country, I'll kiss your ass
[Interlude]
A D E A
[Verse 2]
A
Mama sells eggs at a grocery store
D
My oldest sister is a first-rate whore
E A
Dad says she can't come home anymore and he means it
A
Ma just sits and keeps her silence
D E A
Sister, she left 'cause Dad got violent, and he knows it
A
Mama, she's old far beyond her time
D
From chopping tobacco and I seen her crying
E A
When blood started flowing from her calloused hand, and it hurt me
A
She'd just keep working, trying to help the old man
D E A
To the end of one row and back again, like always
A
She's been through hell since Junior went to jail
D
And when the lights go out, she ain't never failed
E A
To get down on her knees and pray because she loves him
A
Told all the neighbors he was off in the war
D E A
Fighting for freedom, he's good to the core and she's proud
A
Now, our place was a graveyard for automobiles
D
At the end of the porch, there was four stacks of wheels
E A
And tires for sale for a dollar or two... cash
[Pre-Chorus]
D E
There was fifty holes in an old tin roof
A D
Me and my family was living proof
E
Of people who forgot about poor white trash
A
And if that ain't country, I'll kiss your ass
[Chorus]
D E A
If that ain't country, it'll hairlip the pope
D E A
If that ain't country, it's a damn good joke
D E A D
I've seen the Grand Ole Opry and I've met Johnny Cash
E A
If that ain't country, I'll kiss your ass
[Outro Verse]
A D
I'm thinking tonight of my blue eyes
E A
Concerning the great speckled bird
A D
I didn't know God made honky-tonk angels
E A
And went back to the wild side of life
[Outro]
A D E A
A D E A
A D E A

7.) "Longhaired Redneck"
[Intro]
G Cadd9 G
[Verse 1]
C D G
Country DJ's knows that I'm an outlaw
C
They'd never come to see me in this dive
G D/F# Em
Where bikers stare at cowboys who are laughing at the hippies
A D
Who are praying they'll get out of here alive
C D G
The loud mouth in the corner's getting to me
C
Talking about my earrings and my hair
G D/F# Em
I guess he ain't read the sign that say I've been to prison
A D
Someone ought to warn him, before I knock him off his chair

'cause my long hair just can't cover up my red neck

I've won every fight I've ever fought

And I don't need some turkey telling me that I ain't country
A D
Saying I ain't worth the damned old ticket that he bought
[Chorus]
G G7 C
'cause I can sing all them songs about Texas,
D G D/F#
And I still do all the sad ones that I know
G G7 C
They tell me I look like Merle Haggard
A D
And sound a lot like David Allan Coe
[Verse 4]
C D G
And the barmaid in the last town that we played in
C
Knew the words to every song I'd wrote
G D/F# Em
She said Jimmy Rabbit turned her on to my last album
A D
Just about the time the jukebox broke
C D C
Yeah, Johnny Cash helped me get out of prison
C
Long before Rodriguez stole that goat
G D/F# Em
I've been the Rhinestone Cowboy for so long I can't remember
A D
And I can do ya every song Hank Williams ever wrote
[Chorus]
G G7 C
And I can sing all them songs about Texas
D G D/F#
And I still do all the sad ones that I know
G G7 C
I can't help it, I look like Merle Haggard
A D
And I sound a lot like David Allan Coe
[Outro Verse]
C D G
But the country DJs all think I'm an outlaw
C
And they'd never come to see me in this dive
G D/F# Em
Where bikers stare at cowboys who are laughing at the hippies
A D
Who are praying they'll get out of here alive
C D G
The loud mouth in the corner's getting to me
C
Talking about my earrings and my hair...
