Country Was Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

GHold on a minute it ain't Ctime to leave

 Tell me how you're feeling one more Gtime.

GFour long years and I justC can't believe

 That I'm still yours and your still Gmine.

 While I was gone, yes, I Cfell in love

 Asked around and heard that you did Gtoo

 Two drunken years and push Ccame to shove

 I met love, love left me Gblue

BmYou're Crising like a Gsun

BmThat pulled the Ccurtain on the Gnight

DComing through theC window

 To Gbrighten Amup my lCife G

And I'm all right, yeah, I think I'm fine

My savior lives in telephones

And I just dream of you and step outside

Dial up and hope that you're home

You're rising like a sun

That waits up all night

Coming through the window

To brighten up my life

Hold on a minute, yeah, I do love you

Sometimes I guess that ain't enough

When you come round you put me through

And I thank you, oh, so much

Another year, maybe, three or four

Maybe five or six or even more

You'll find another man to take my place

And I'll see you on the good Lord's shores

You're rising like a sun

That pulled the curtain on the night

Coming through the window

To brighten up my life

And if I weren't gonna be gone now, could I take you home

And if I told you I love you, would it change what you see

And if I was staying, would you stay with me

And if I had money, would it all look good

And if I had a job now, like a good man should

And if I came to you tomorrow, and said let's run away

Would you roll like the wind does, baby would you stay

My heart is dancin', to a November tune

And I hope that you hear it, singing songs about you

And I sing songs of sorrow, because you're not around

See, babe I'm gone tomorrow, Baby follow me down

I don't know why I have to, but this man must move on

I love my time here, didn't know 'til I was gone

November shadows, shade November change

November spells sweet memory, the season blue remains

(Slow Tempo)

November spells sweet memory, the season blue remains

Your yellow hair is like the sunlight, however sweet it shines

Bit by the cold of December, I'm warm beside your smile

(Resume Tempo)

Oh lady tell me I'm not leaving, you're everything I dream

I'm killing myself thinking, I've fallen like the leaves

I'm killing myself thinking, I've fallen like the leaves

(Slow Tempo and end on C)

GIn time, won't be long

Cuntil we meet again, except we just be friends

Gmy god yeah I know

Cthat's just the way it goes out here on the road

 besDide the Cyellow Gline

'Bout five years ago,

I came about this way, but I doubt they'll know my face

The land hasn't changed

The stars still pierce the black, and I'm glad that I came back

Beside the yellow line

The mind of a girl,

It's hard to understand, but I guess 'cause I'm a man

Her heart fears are unknown,

Until I am gone, gotta leave her all alone

Beside the yellow line

And the call of the road,

Unlike the railroad tracks, unlike the airplane path

Her voice floats, through the land

and it takes me by the hand, so once again I stand

Beside the yellow line

AWell I dreamed of how our life would be, oh yeah

ELovin' and a-kissin' 'neath an old oak tree, uh huh

 I'd be sBminging you aC♯m song that wasD♯m twenty lines Dlong

 and Acatching sweet Ekisses you blow way out in AWyom

I work my day to come home to you, oh yeah

So you can do whatever you wanna do, uh huh

With your big brown eyes and your curly brown hair,

I'm doing the best I can do just to try to not stare

 My GEod, your DlovelinAess

Gotta feelin your man he won't like the news, oh no

Ain't gonna like it when he has to choose, oh no

With you could be one and never be apart (?)

I can feel it in my mind I can feel it in my soul in my heart

 Oh Bmbaby pDlease come Aaround

Was that your man he's your fiancé, oh yeah

The one to tie the knot each and every day uh huh

I gotta get up the nerve to pick up the phone

It's you sweet mama I'm-a gonna carry you back home!

 Way Eout to oDld AWyom

I prob'ly shoulda thought about lettin' you know, uh huh

If I love you like I do I shoulda told you so, uh huh

Well I think about you each and every day,

It's just my knees are gettin' weak when I try to say

 Oh bBmaby, pDlease be Amine

Gotta feelin' that I'm barkin' up and empty tree

How could someone so beautiful think about me?

Put my tail between my legs and turn my back

Try on my trusty ramblin' sack

 I'm Eoff to Dold WAyom

Intro chords

C Am F G x1

 TheC show was Amover it's Gall in the Cname

 ItC never was bAmefore but Gthis ain't the Csame

 So Ctry to iAmmagine a tGime and a Cplace

 Where the Cenemy Amwon and the FheroG was Cslain

And poetic justice burns in the minds

Of five diying soldiers on the front lines

With nobody's singing in nobody's ears

No one's disappointed, nobody hears

I know a lady, promise her name

The price of her visit suffering and pain

And we gladly waited and we gladly paid

We watched the sun rise, she never came

An electric current moves us around

We sank to our knees to worship the sound

But nobody told us that we'd rise again

Imagine a hero unable to win

Imagine a hero unable to win
