Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show – Stayin Song (Guitar)

G
I stopped cause there was nothing else to do.

      D                                   G
And I thought I'd stick around for just a while.

      C                                    Em7
But I warned you like the west wind, I was only 

        C
blowin' through.

    D                                   G
And no one could ever make me change my style.

                      C              G
Cause I never sung no stayin' song before.

     D
I've done them blues and good-bye tunes a thousand 

         G
times or more.

                      C                    G
And it seems a little strange that I ain't headin' 

        C
for the door.

      G             D               G
But I never sung no stayin' song, I never thought 

    D                 G             D
I'd stay this long, I never sung no stayin' song 

  G
before.

G                    C                 G
I usually leave when all the words are said.

         D                                       G
But with you there's always more sweet things to say.

G                         C                 G
And when my mind starts a wanderin' up that windin' 

      C        D                                G
road ahead..my feet don't seem to want to walk away.

                    C              G
And I never sung no stayin' song before.

     D
I've done them blues and good-bye tunes a thousand 

         G
times or more.

                      C                    G
And it seems a little strange that I ain't headin' 

        C
for the door.

      G             D               G
But I never sung no stayin' song, I never thought 

    D                 G             D
I'd stay this long, I never sung no stayin' song 

  G
before.

G                     C                   G
Last night I heard an old freight whistle blow..

   D                             G
as I was sleeping warmly in your bed.

       Cm                 C                 Bm
And it told me, boy, it's time that you was packing up 

   C         D                                    G
to go..but I smiled and shook the leaving from my head.

                    C              G
And I never sung no stayin' song before.

     D

                      C                    G
And it seems a little strange that I ain't headin' 

        C
for the door.

      G             D               G
But I never sung no stayin' song, I never thought 

    D                 G             D
I'd stay this long, I never sung no stayin' song 

  G
before.

G               D               G                 D
I never sung no stayin' song, I never thought I'd stay 

           G             D              G
so long..I never sung no stayin' song before.

  G             D               G                 D
I never sung no stayin' song, I never thought I'd stay
