You Decorated My Life
Tom: G
G C
All my life was a paper, Once plain, pure and white
G G
Till you moved with your pen, changin' moods now and then
C
Till the balance was right
G C
Then you added some music, ev'ry note was in place
G G C
And anybody could see all the changes in me by the look on my face
G C G C B7 Em
And you.... decorated my life....., created a world where dreams are
D
apart....
G C G C B7 Em
And you.... decorated my life..., By paintin' your love all over my
Am D
heart...
You decorated my life
*Like a rhyme with no reason in an unfinished song
There was no harmony life meant nothin' to me, until you cam along
And you brought out the colors, what a gentle surprise
Now I'm able to see all the things life can be shinin' soft in your eyes
She Believes In Me
Tom: G
Intro: G C/G Cm/G G
G
While she lays sleeping
G7/B C
I stay out late at night and sing my songs
G/B Am7 D7 D/C Bm7
And sometimes all the nights can be so long
Em7 Am7
And it's good when I finally make it home -
D7sus4
All alone
D7 G
While she lays dreaming
G7/B C
I try to get undressed without the light
G/B Am7 D7 D/C Bm7
Then she quietly says how was your night
Em7 Am7
And I come to her and say it was all right -
D7 G D7sus4
And I hold her tight
Chorus:
Gsus4 G
And she believes in me
Gsus4 G F#m7(b5)
I'll never know just what she sees in me
B7 Em Em+7 ( Em/Eb )
I told her someday if she was my girl
Em7 Em/D Em6 Em/C# Am7
I could change the world with my little songs -
Dsus4
I was wrong
Gsus4 G
But she has faith in me
Gsus4 G F#m7(b5)
And so I go on trying faithfully
B7 Em
And who knows, maybe on some special night
Em+7 Em7 Em6
If my song is right
Am7
I will find a way
D7sus4
Find a way . . .
G
While she lays waiting
G7/B C
I stumble to the kitchen for a bite
G/B Am7 D7 D/C Bm7
Then I see my old guitar in the night
Em7 Am7
Just waiting for me like a secret friend -
D7sus4
And there's no end
D7 G
While she lies crying
G7/B C
I fumble with a melody or two
G/B Am7 D7 D/C Bm7
Then I'm torn between the things that I should do
Em7 Am7 D7 G
Then she says to wake her up when I am through
D7sus4
God her love is true
Chorus
End:
G C/E Cm/G G
While she waits, while she waits for me
The Greatest
Tom: D
D
Little Boy, in a baseball hat
A G D
Stands in the field with his ball and bat
(D)
Says I am the greatest player of them all
A G D
Puts his bat on his shoulder and he tosses up his ball
A
And the ball goes up and the ball comes down
G D
Swings his bat all the way around
A
The world's so still you can hear the sound
G D
The baseball falls to the ground
(D)
Now the little boy doesn't say a word
A G D
Picks up his ball, he is undeterred
(D)
Says I am the greatest there has ever been
A G D
And he grits his teeth and he tries it again
A
And the ball goes up and the ball comes down
G D
Swings his bat all the way around
A
The world's so still you can hear the sound
G D
The baseball falls to the ground
Bm G
He makes no excuses, he shows no fear
D A
He just closes his eyes and listens to the cheers
D
Little boy, he adjusts his hat
A G D
Picks up his ball, stares at his bat
(D)
Says I am the greatest the game is on the line
A G D
And he gives his all one last time
A
And the ball goes up like the moon so bright
G
Swings his bat with all his might
A
And the world's so still as still can be
G D
And the baseball falls, and that's strike three
(D)
Now it's supper time and his mama calls
A G D
Little boy starts home with his bat and ball
(D)
Says I am the greatest that is a fact
A G D
But even I didn't know I could pitch like that
(D)
Says I am the greatest that is a fact
A G D
But even I didn't know I could pitch that good

The King Of Oak Street
Tom: A
Intro: A
Vs1:
A D A
Like a leaf caught in the wind he drifted a while
D A
With no purpose or direction to his life
D E
He tried to get himself together
A D
And pacify his mind
A E A
And forget about the things he left behind.
Ch1:
E A
A cryin' woman he left standing in his door
F#m E A
With a two month old baby in her arms
E A
His little black book he left torn upon the floor
F#m D E
God only knows he never meant to do her wrong.
Vs2:
A careless weekend on the other side of town
Has torn the king of Oak Street's Castle down
And all week long he's tried to phone her
But she won't let him explain
Now Sunday morning finds him walking in the rain.
Ch2:
He sits now in a phone booth and he prays
That she'll forgive him
And she'll believe he's changed his ways
With shaking hands he deposits his last dime
And he's still praying that she won't hang up this time.
Vs3:
Then the sweetest voice he's ever heard says “hello”
Breakfast's almost ready baby, come on home
I've thought the whole thing over
And I think I understand
That the king of Oak Street is just an ordinary man.
D E
I've thought the whole thing over
A D
And I think I understand
A E A
That the king of Oak Street is just an ordinary man.

Coward of the County
Tom: C
C C F C C
Everyone considered him the coward of the county
C C C G G
He never stood one single time to prove the county wrong.
C C F C C
His mama named him Tommy, the folks just called him yellow,
C C G C C
But someting always told me they were reading Tommy wrong.
C C F C C
He was only ten years old when his daddy died in prison;
C C C G G
I looked after Tommy cause he was my brother's son.
C C F C C
I still recall the final words my brother said to Tommy;
C C G C C
"Son my life is over but yours is just begun"
C C F C
"Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done,
C C G G
Walk away from trouble if you can.
C C F C
It won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek;
C C G G
I hope you're old enough to understand,
G G C C
Son you don't have to fight to be a man."
D G D
There's someone for everyone and Tommy's love was Becky,
A
In her arms he didn't have to prove he was a man.
D G D
One day while he was working, the Gatlin boys came callin',
A D
They took turns at Becky, there was three of them!
D G D
Tommy opened up the door and saw his Becky cryin',
A
The torn dress, the shattered look was more than he could stand.
D G D
He reached above the fireplace and took down his daddy's picture.
A D
As his tears fell on his daddy's face, he heard these words again;
G D
"Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done,
A
Walk away from trouble if you can.
D G D
It won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek;
A
I hope you're old enough to understand,
D
Son you don't have to fight to be a man."
G D
The Gatlin Boys just laughed at him when he walked into the bar room.
A
One of them got up and met him halfway 'cross the floor.
D G D
When Tommy turned areound they said, "Hey look ol' yellow's leavin'."
A D
But you coulda heard a pin drop when Tommy stopped and blocked the door.
G D
Twenty years of crawling was bottled up inside him,
A
He wasn't holding nothin' back he let 'em have it all.
D G D
When Tommy left the bar room not a Gatlin boy was standin',
A D
He said this one's for Becky," as he watched the last one fall.
(And I heard him say)
G D
I promised you Dad not to do the things you done,
A
I walk away from trouble when I can.
D G D
Now please don't think I'm weak I didn't turn the other cheek,
A
And Poppa, I sure hope you understand:
D
Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man.
G D
Everyone considered him the coward of the county.

D G D
On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere,
A
I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep.
D G D
So we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness
G D A D
'til boredom overtook us, and he began to speak.
D G D
He said, "Son, I've made a life out of readin' people's faces,

is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep.
D G D
'Cause ev'ry hand's a winner and ev'ry hand's a loser,
G D A D
and the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep."
D G D
And when he'd finished speakin', he turned back towards the window,

And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even.
G D A D
But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep.

In the mirror I saw him and I closely watched him I
| | |E7 |
thought how he looked out of place
| |Bm | |E7 |
He came to the woman who sat there be-side me he
|Bm |E7 |A |
had a strange look on his face
| | |
The big hands were calloused he looked like a
| | |A7 |D |
mountain for a minute I thought I was dead
|E7 | |
But he started shaking his big heart was
| | | |A
breaking he turned to the woman and said
|A | | |D
You picked a fine time to leave me Lu-cille
| | | |A |
with four hungry children and a crop in the field
|D | | |
I've had some bad times lived through some sad times but
| | |A
this time your hurting won't heal
| |E7 | |A |
you picked a fine time to leave me Lu-cille.
|A | | | |
After he left us I ordered more whisky I thought how she'd
| |E7 |
made him look small
| |Bm | |E7 |
From the lights of the bar room to a rented ho-tel room we
|Bm |E7 |A |
walked without talking at all
| | | |
She was a beauty but when she came to me she
| |A7 |D |
must have thought I'd lost my mind
|E7 | | |
I could'nt hold her 'cos the words that told her kept
| | |A
coming back time after time
|A | | |D
You picked a fine time to leave me Lu-cille
| | | |A |
with four hungry children and a crop in the field
|D | | |
I've had some bad times lived through some sad times but
| | |A
this time your hurting won't heal
| |E7 | |A |
you picked a fine time to leave me Lu-cille.
