David Allan Coe – Heaven Only Knows (Guitar)

G         Am             D           G
You ain?t daddy?s little girl anymore

      Am            D     G
Isn?t that a cryin? shame

          Am            D      G
With your dreams of California

          Am                 D    Bm
Searchin? for you wealth and fame

                    C        B A G 
I can still see the teardrops

                    D    Bm
Streamin? down your face

               C   B A G 
I can hear you say 

                           D                         
There?s no future in this place.

G      Am            D        G
So you packed your belongin?s

        Am                D  Bm
While I stood watched you go

                     C        B A G 
Why I never tried to stop you

            D
Heaven Only Knows.

G           Am               D         G
Through the years I got some postcards

        Am         D     G
That is all that I recall

        Am               D     G
Tellin? me that you were happy

      Am            D    Bm
But I never got one call

                             C       B A G
You thought you knew all the answers

                   D    Bm
When you were seventeen

                          C       B A G 
Someone just sent me your picture

                    D   G
From some dirty magazine

         Am                     D      G
And I?ve heard you?ve made some movies

       Am                D   Bm
That I would not care to see

                       C        B A G 
I just know how much I love you

                           D   
That don?t mean a thing to me.

G            Am               D        G
I guess your brother felt the same way

            Am              D     G
I could not keep him on the farm

               Am      D       G
They found his body in Chicago

       Am            D     Bm
With a needle in his arm

                    C         B A G
I can still see the teardrops

                   D    Bm
Streamin? down his face

                     C   B A G
I can still hear him say

                          D     
There?s no future in this place.

G     Am           D         G
So he packed his belongin?s

         Am            D   Bm
Like you did once long ago

                     C        B A G 
Why I never tried to stop him

            D
Heaven Only Knows.

G       Am               D         G
Now I?m standin? in this graveyard

        Am              D     G
Were we laid your momma down

    Am                   D         G
I recall that preacher?s words now

          Am             D     Bm
When they put her in the ground

                             C       B A G
It?s your job to raise these children

                     D    Bm
And I tried to do my best

                             C        B A G
It?s been ten years since we lost her

                        D     Bm
From that cancer in her chest

                   C        B A G
And I can feel the teardrops

                  D    Bm
Streamin? down my face

                          C       B A G 
Lately you know I?ve been thinkin?

                          D    
There?s no future in this place.

G           Am        D        G
And I would pack my belongin?s

       Am              D  Bm
But if got no place to go

                          C      B A G
Why the good Lord doesn?t take me 

            D
Heaven Only Knows.

    G         Am             D           G
But you ain?t daddy?s little girl anymore

      Am                 G
Isn?t that a cryin? shame
