Monday morning Merle

                                        F
Lets that old broken heart get back to work

    G
He hides all the holes and the hurt

                        C/G
Under the dirt on his shirt

        C
And the only way that he can get

C7
Through the days and the regret

     F
Is a song full of truth with some words he never said

            G
With those whiskey remedies

                                          C/G
And those old-school melodies you can't forget
[Chorus]
               F
That's why on Wednesday spins the Beatles

Thursday is the Eagles

"Take it Easy" 'til that Friday rocks his world
