Family Bible
Tom: G
G C G
There's a family Bible on the table
Em A7 D7
Its pages torn and hard to read
G C G
But the family Bible on the table
C G D7 G
Will ever be my key to memo-ries
C G
At the end of day when work was over
Em A7 D7
And when the evening meal was done
G C G
Dad would read to us from the family Bible
C G D7 G
And we'd count our many blessings one by one
C F C
I can see us sitting round the table
G
When from the family Bible dad would read
C G
And I can hear my mother softly singing
C G D7 G
Rock of ages rock of ages cleft for me
C G
This old world of ours is full of trouble
Em A7 D7
But this old world would also better be
G C G
If we'd find more Bibles on the tables
C G D7 G
And mothers singing rock of ages cleft for me
C F C
I can see us sitting round the table
G
When from the family Bible dad would read
C G
And I can hear my mother softly singing
C G D7 G
Rock of ages rock of ages cleft for me
Reasons To Quit Tom: A
A D A
Reasons to quit the smoke and booze don't do me like before
F#m B E
And I'm hardly ever sober and my old friends don't come around much anymore
A D A
Reasons to quit the low is always lower than the high
A E A
And the reasons to quit don’t outnumber all the reasons why
Chorus:
D A
So we keep smokin and we keep drinkin, havin fun and never thinkin'
E A
Laughin' at the price tags the we pay
D A
And we keep roarin down the fast lane like two young men feelin no pain
A E A
And the reasons for quittin' are gettin bigger each day
Reasons to quit, I cant afford the habit all the time
And I need be sober, I gotta write some new songs that will rhyme
Reasons to quit, there ain't no rhyme or reason when your high
And the reasons for quittin' don't outnumber all the reasons why
Chorus
Solo

People are saying that time’ll take care of people like me

And they really should know that the beat ought to go a little faster
Chorus:

'Bout half off the wall but I learned it all in the Navy
Chorus:

Love went through such a sudden change, Takin' a turn for the worst Joy turned to fear, the pain got so severe Lord, I thought I was cursed. You get what you give, it comes 'round full circle Ooo and I paid the price I lost love so fast I won't make the same mistake twice.
refrain: from country to rock transposed???

Me and paul Tom: D
D It's been rough and rocky traveling, but I'm finally standing upright on the ground. After taking several readings, I'm surprised to find my mind's D7 G still fairly sound, I guess Nashville was the roughest, but I know I A7 said the same about them all, We received our education in the cities of D the nation, me and Paul.
D Almost busted in Laredo, but for reasons that I'd rather not disclose, but if you're staying in a motel there and leave, justdon't leave nothing in D7 G your clothes, and at the airport in Milwaukee, they refused to let us A7 board the plane at all, they said we looked Suspicious, but I believe
D they liked to pick on me and Paul.
Repeat Verse 1
D On a package show in Buffalo, with us and Kitty Wells and Charlie Pride, the show was going long and we were just sitting there, and we'd come to D7 G play and not just for the ride, well we drank an lot of whiskey, so I A7 don't know if we went on that night at all, I guess Buffalo ain't geared for me and Paul
Repeat Verse 1

when I say that i don't love you
F B7 B7
They can lock me away--ay--AY
E E7 It sure would be dingy E E7 to live in an envelope F# F C waiting alone for a stamp
E E7
and you'd swear i was loco
E E7
to rub for a genie
B7 B7 B7 Em
while burning my hand on lamp
Em E
and i may not be normal
Em E
but nobo-d-y is...

If You Could Touch Her At All Tom: C
C F
Funny a woman can come home so wild and free
G7 C
And insist I don't watch her undress or watch her watch me
F
And stand by the bed and shiver as if she were cold
G7 C
Just to lie down beside me and touch me as if I were gold
F
One night of love don't make up for six nights alone
G7 C
But I'd rather have one than none Lord cause I'm flesh and bone
F
Sometimes it seems that she ain't worth the trouble at all
G7 C
But she could be worth the world if somehow you can touch her at all
F
Right or wrong a woman can own any man
G7 C
She can take him inside her and hold his soul in her hand
F
And leave him as weary and weak as a newborn child
G7 C
Fighting to catch his first breath and open his eyes
F
One night of love don't make up for six nights alone
G7 C
But I'd rather have one than none Lord cause I'm flesh and bone
F
Sometimes it seems that she ain't worth the trouble at all
G7 C
But she could be worth the world if somehow you can touch her at all

This is the very first day since you left me,

Look What Thoughts Will Do Tom: G
G Once I thought I loved just you
And I thought you loved me too D7 But just look what thoughts will do G For today you say we're through
Now another wears the crown
And you think that you have found D7 Just what makes your world go round G Watch those thoughts they'll get you down
If within your future years
Your new love should bring you tears D7 Then you'll think of me I'm sure G But those thoughts won't help you de(ar

I Am My Own Grandpa Tom: C
C C7 F D
It sounds funny, I know, but it really is so,
C G C - G
oh, I'm my own grandpa !

1. Now many, many years ago, when I was twenty-three,
G7 C
I was married to a widow who was pretty as could be.
C7 Dm
This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red,
D D7 G G7
my father fell in love with her, and soon the two were wed.
C G
2. This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life,
G7 C
my daughter was my mother, cause she was my father's wife.
C7 Dm
To complicate the matter, even though it brought me joy,
D D7 G G7
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy.
C G
3. My little baby then became a brother-in-law to Dad,
G7 C
and so became my uncle, though it made me very sad.
C7 Dm
For if he was my uncle, that also made him brother
D D7 G G7
of the widow's grown-up daughter, who, of course, was my stepmother.
C G
4. My father's wife then had a son who kept him on the run,
G7 C
and he became my grandchild, for he was my daughter's son.
C7 Dm
My wife is now my mother's mother, and it makes me blue,
D D7 G G7
because she is my wife, she's my grandmother, too.
C G
5. Now if my wife is my grandmother, then I'm her grandchild,
G7 C
and everytime I think of it, it nearly drives me wild.
C7 Dm
For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw,
D D7 G G7
as husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa !
C G C F Dm G
I'm my own grandpa, I'm my own grandpa !
C C7 F D
It sounds funny, I know, but it really is so,
C G C
oh, I'm my own grandpa !

My Heros have always been Cowboys

Pursuin' the life, of my high-ridin' heros,

from bein' alone too long.
You could die from the cold, in the arms of a nightmare,
E7 A7
knowin' well that your best days are gone.

Pickin' up hookers, instead of my pen,
G D
I let the words of my youth fade away.

Old worn out saddles, and old worn out memories,

with no one and no place to stay.

no chances can be taken on the Wabash Cannonball.

and each day we had to build the road a mile and a quarter.

And a black snake whip, would cut our backs,

But we couldn't fight back wearing 35 pounds of Blackjack County chain.
