A Friend To Me 
Tom: D
D
Well you and I 
         G				
We're buddies 
D                                           G
And we've been since we first met 
(wie oben) 
Me any you 
Well we've sure been through 
Our share of laughter and regret 
D                                            G
Lord knows we've had our bad days 
D                                    G
And more than once we've disagreed 
                D                    G           D
But you've always been a friend to me 
D 
You can be so stubborn 
            G
There's times I think you just like to fight 
D                       G
And I hope and pray 
D
I live to see a day 
G
When you say I might be right 
D                                        G
And there's times I'd rather kill you 
D                          G
Than listen to your honesty 
                   D                 G             D 
But you've always been a friend to me 
          D
You've always been 
               G	
Time and again 
D                          G
The one to take my hand 
D                G   D                G
And show to me it's okay to be 
D                    G
Just the way I am 
N.C.                    D   G  
With no apology 
D 
Oh you've always been 
      G
And you will 'till God knows when 
D                                      G
Yes you've always been a friend to me

Burning Bridges

Intro.....   C  Am  C  Am  C
Am                C          F                  C
Yesterday she thanked me for oilin that front door
     Dm                 C                    F           G
This morning when she wakes she won't be thankful anymore
       Am              C                  F               C
She'll never know how much I cared just that I couldn't stay
         Dm             C            F               G
And I'll never know the reason why I always run away
chorus....
                F          C
Burning bridges one by one
G        Am          F  G     C
What I'm doing can't be undone
    G     Am            C
And I'm always hoping someday
          F                        C
I'm gonna stop this runnin' around
    Dm                   C
But every time the chance comes up
  F  C  Dm7    G     C    Am   C
Another bridge goes down
last night we talked of old times
Families & home towns
She wondered if we'd both agree
On where we'd settle down
And I told her that we'd cross that bridge
Whenever it arrived
Now thru the flames I see her
standin on the other side
chorus....
G    Am             C         F           C
Like ashes on the water I drift away in sorrow
            Dm          C                     F   G
Knowing that the day my lesson's finaly learned
        Am              C          Fmaj7         C
I'll be standin at a river staring out across tomorrow
         Dm                  C
And the bridge I need to get there
          Fmaj7                   G   Am   D
Will be a bridge that I have burned

chorus....

Tom: Bm
Intro:  D
Verse:
Bm           A       
I spent last night in the arms of a
G               D
girl in Louisiana
A                      D
And though I'm out on the highway
     G                     A
my thoughts are still with her
Such a strange combination of a 
woman and a child
Such a strange situation stoppin'
every hundred miles callin' Baton Rouge
(then play D for the fiddle part)
Chorus:
D (play D all the way through)
Operator, won't you put on through?
I gotta send my love down to Baton Rouge
Hurry up, won't you put her on the line?
I gotta talk to the girl just one more time.

Every cowboy loves her, Lord they all dream of her
Oh brother, don't they all [E] react
At the end of the evening, when they see me leaving
With my cowboy Cadi [A] llac

       She|was a girl on a wagon train|
C      G          D             G
headed west a-cross the plains.|
      Em                    C           D
The | train got lost in a summer storm.|
       Em                          C           D
They | coudln't move west and they couldn't go|
                  G                        
home.  Then she | saw him ridin' through the rain.|
          C              G            D                G
He took | charge of the wagons and he saved the train.|
      Em                        C
And | she looked down and her heart was gone.|
      Em                     C        D
The | train went west but she stayed |  on in Lonesome Dove.|
2:
A farmer's daughter with a gentle hand,
A blooming rose in a bed of sand;
She loved the man who wore a star,
A Texas Ranger known near and far.
So they got married and they had a child.
But times were tough and West was wild.
So it was no surprise the day she learned
That her Texas man would not return
To Lonesome Dove.  CHORUS
3:
She watched her boy grow to a man.
He had an angel's heart and the devil's hand.
He wore his star for all to see.
He was a Texas lawman legacy.
Then one day word blew into twon.
It seemed the men that shot his father down
Had robbed a bank in Cherico.
Tho only thing 'tween them and Mexico
Was Lonesome Dove. (to verse 4)
4:
The shadows stretched across the land
As the shots rang out down the Rio Grande.
And when the smoke had finally cleared the street,
The men lay at the ranger's feet.
But legend tells to this very day
That shots were comin' from an alleyway.
"Though no one knows who held the gun,
There ain't no doubt if you ask someone
In Lonesome Dove.  CHORUS

CHORUS---
 Em                   G               C                       G      D/F#
Back to back with the Rio Grande, a | Christian woman in the devil's land.
       Em                          Bm
She | learned the language and she learned to fight, but she| 
C                                Am            D         D   G
never learned how the beat the | lonely nights|     in | Lonesome

Papa Loved Mama
Tom: E7
E7
Papa drove a truck nearly all his life
            A7
You know it drove mama crazy being a trucker's wife
    B7
The part she couldn't handle was the being alone
            C                               B7
I guess she needed more to hold than just a telephone
E7
Papa called mama each & every night
        A7
Just to ask her how she was & if us kids were alright
 B7
Mama would wait for that call to come in
            C                    B7         E7
But when daddy'd hang up she was gone again
chorus.... #1   A7
                Mama was a looker Lord how she shined
                  E7
                Papa was a good'n but the jealous kind
                  A7
                Papa loved mama, mama loved men
                 Em                      B7           E7
                Mama's in the graveyard papa's in the pen

Well it was bound to happen & one night it did
Papa came home & it was just us kids
He had a dozen roses & a bottle of wine
If he was looking to surprise us he was doing fine
I heard him cry for mama up & down the hall
Then I heard a bottle break against the bedroom wall
That old diesel engine made an eerie sound
When papa fired it up & headed into town
chorus... #2    Well the picture in teh paper showed the scene real well
                Papa's rig was buried in the local Motel
                The desk clerk said he saw it all real clear
                He never hit the breaks & he was shifting gears
chorus... #1.....
Em                      B7            E7
Mama's in the graveyard papa's in the pen
Mama's in the graveyard papa's in the pen

You know it should be easy for a man who's strong
To say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong

But I've never been in love like this   it's out of my hands

                     D                    G
       She's sun and rain, she's fire and ice
                A               Bm  A
       A little crazy, but it's nice.
                G                 D               A
       And when she get's mad you best leave her alone.
                    D                G
       Cause she'll rage just like a river
                 A                Bm       A
      then she'll beg you to forgive her
                G           A              D
      Oh, she's every woman that I've ever known.
Chorus:
Bm                G
It needs no explanation,
Bm                         G
cause it all makes perfect sense.
D           A                     Bm  A
For when it comes down to temptation,
         G                 A
she's on both sides of the fence.
Verse 2:
She's so New York, and then LA
and every topwn along the way.
And she's every place that I've never been.
She's making love on rainy nights,
She's a stroll through Christmas lights
And she's everything I want to do again.
Verse 3:
She's anything but typical,
She's so unpredictable.
Oh, but even at her worst she aint that bad.
She's as real as real can be.
And she's every fantasy.
            G           A              Bm
Lord, she's every lover taht I've ever had.
          G            A              D
And she's every lover that I've never had.

 

She's going to make it
Tom: D
{D} He followed her to work this {C} morning {D C G}
{D} He never seen that dress {C} before {D C G}
{D} And she seemed to sail right through those dark clouds {C} formin' {C G}
{D} That he knows he's headed {C} for {D C G}
{D} After seven years of marriage he wanted {C} out
{D} And after seven months of {C} freedom
{D} Its's clear there's no {C} doubt
CHORUS:
{D} She's gonna make {G} it, and he never {D} will
He's at the foot of the mountian
She's over the {C} hill
{D} She's gonna make {G} it, and he never {D} will
{chords same as vs1}
And you know it's not like she's forgot about it
She's just dealin' with the pain
And the fact that she survived so well without him
You know it's driving her insane
And the crazy think about it, is she'd take him back
But the fool in him that walked out, it the fool that just won't ask
{repeat CHORUS}

That ol' Wind
Tom: E               
Intro:  E   C#m   A   B7   E 
                E                                   
She dropped her boy at school on time
         C#m
One less worry on her mind
         A                E         B
Now it's off to work and on the radio
          E
Comes an old familiar song
             C#m
And then the D.J.'s voice comes on
                  A             B7              E
And says he's back in town tonight for one last show
     E
Her eyes well up with tears
             C#m
God could it be it's been ten years
           A                E                  B 
Since that Autumn night outside the county fair
             E
When two strangers shared a night
           C#m
And in the darkness found a light
               A             B7             E
That to this day is still alive and burning there
C#m             A             B
He asked her twice to come along
C#m             A                    B
They said good-bye at the break of dawn
             E                      
'Cause you can't hold back the wind
        C#m
If it's meant to be again
          A                    B7             E
Then someday he'll find his way back to her arms
BREAK:  A   B   E
         E
The marquee misspelled his name
           C#m
And not too many people came
A                E            B
But that didn't matter to them
                   E
They laughed and loved all through the night
            C#m
And as they faced the morning light
       A                 B7           E
They found themselves standing there again
C#m                 A             B
And he asked her twice to come along
C#m             A                    B
They said good-bye at the break of dawn
       E
As his bus left out she cried
         C#m
With him standing by her side
         A                B7              E
That ol' wind had once again found its way home
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK:  E   C#m   A   E   B
                     E   C#m   A   B7  E
C#m             A                 E        
Someday he'll tell her about the money he hid
C#m                  A                 E           B
And someday she'll tell him that the boy is his kid
            E
For right now they're both in love
         C#m
The only thing they're thinkin' of
                  A                    B7              E
Is that they're finally where their hearts have always been

January's always bitter, but lord this one beats all

I've been all night drivin' hefers, closer in to lower ground

Whatcha Gonna Do With a Cowboy?
Tom: A
Verse I
A
I can see you got your eye on this ol' cowboy
                                         D
I can tell you've never had one for your own
            A
Well you've never been around one
           F#m
Now you're thinkin' that you found one
	E			       A
And it might be kinda' fun to take him home
Verse II
You giggle every time that I say, "Yes, ma'am"
And I get this feelin' if I held you tight
You'd be seein' his and her's
Buckles, boots, and spurs
But that's a feelin' you'd get over overnight
Chorus
       D                          A
'Cause what you gonna' do with a cowboy?
D                               A
When that ol' rooster crows at dawn
          D
When he's lyin' there instead
    F#m
Of getting' out of bed                    (Not so sure) 
E                                          A D A E D=>
And puttin' on his boots and getting' gone.
    (D)                               A
And what you gonna do when he says, "Honey."
D			A
"I got half a mind to stay."
D                         F#m
What you gonna do with a cowboy
     E                             A
When he don't saddle up and ride away
Verse III
Well you can see it takes a special kinda woman
To put up with the life a cowboy leads
Cause his boots are always muddy,
And his beer drinkin' buddies
They'll camp out on your couch and never leave
Verse IV
Don't even start to think you're gonna change him
You'd be better off tryin' to rope the wind
Cause what he is is what you've got
And he can't be what he's not
And honey, you can't hide him from your friends

 

When There's No One Around
Tom: G
<G>This is a song that nobody <EM>knows 
I couldn't <C>begin to describe how it <A>goes 
But <G>it makes me cry or laugh right out <EM>loud 
It's <C>a song that I sing when there's no one aroun<G>d 
<chord progression is the same>
This is the man that nobody sees 
He wears my old clothes and he looks just like me 
Just one of the boys who gets lost in the crowd 
He's the man that I am when there's no one around 
<C>It's four in the morning 
Im lyin' in <A>bed 
<C>A tape of my failures 
Playin' inside my <A>head 
<C>It's heartaches and hard knocks 
And things I don't <A>know 
<C>I listen and I wonder 
<G>Where will it <D>go 
<chord progression is the same as vs 1>
This is a glimpse of the child that's within 
He's so immature but he's still my best friend 
If he could learn how to fly he'd never touch down 
He's the kid that I am when there's no one around 
This is the dance I do every day 
I let my feet go and get carried away 
I let my soul lead and follow the sound 
It's the dance that I do when there's no one around 
<chord progression is the same as vs 1>
It's four in the morning 
Im lyin' in bed 
A tape of my failures 
Playin' inside my head 
It's heartaches and hard knocks 
And things I don't know 
I listen and I wonder 
Where will it go 
<chord progression is the same as vs 1>
This is a song that nobody knows 
I still can't begin to describe how it goes 
But it makes me cry our laugh right out loud 
It's a song that I sing when there's no one around 
It's a song that I sing when there's no one around

Friday night I crashed your party
Saturday I said I'm sorry
Asus2           A7sus2           E7
Sunday came and trashed me out again
       Bm
I was only having fun
       G
Wasn't hurting anyone
        E                            A (with pink solo)
And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change
I've been stranded in the combat zone
I walked through Bedford Stuy alone
Even rode my motor cycle in the rain
And you told me not to drive
But I made it home alive
So you said that only proves that I'm insane
NC           E
You may be right
NC         A
I may be crazy
NC       E             D            F#m7         A
But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for
NC             E
Turn out the light
NC            A
Don't try to save me
            D                E                    A(with pink again)
You may be wrong for all I know, but you may be right
Well remember how I found you there
Alone in your electric chair
I told you dirty jokes until you smiled
You were lonely for a man
I said, "Take me as I am."
'Cause you might enjoy some madness for awhile
Now think of all the years you tried to
Find someone to satisfy you
I might be as crazy as you say
If I'm crazy then it's true
That it's all because of you
And you wouldn't want me any other way
You may be right
I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for
It's too late too fight
It's too late to change me
You may be wrong for all I know, but you may be right
Repeat till fade (while keep playing A with pink solo):
You may be wrong for all I know, but you may be right
