Eric Church – Mistress Named Music Medley (Guitar)

C
I still remember Miss Bessie singing

                                       D
Black, wrinkled fingers on ivory keys

C                                         D
Just five years old, my church shoes a-dangling

C                                   G                C
Yeah, she's long gone but I'm still singin' this song

      G        D                    G              D
With a guitar full of freedom and a head full of lines

      G                D                 Em         D
That nightlife full of demons has been a hell of a ride

D              G               Cadd9        G
I got a crazy heart, but I was born to lose it

D             G            Em             D  
 Married to a dream with a mistress named music

C
No hope and squarely solitary

                                               D 
Enough whiskey and Coke, boys, to get me in a bind

C                                               D
Amps juiced, the whole damn block could hear me

                          C
Even them cop car driving past

                          G
I was out the the front door

               D
before they hit the back

      G        D                    G              D
With a guitar full of freedom and a head full of lines

      G                D                 Em         D
That nightlife full of demons has been a hell of a ride

D              G               Cadd9        G
I got a crazy heart, but I was born to lose it

D             G            Em             D  
im married to a dream with a mistress named music

C
White calloused fingers on bronze and nylon

C                                       D
Same old boots are still tapping time

C                              D
Not quite the buzz I used to tie on at the Grizzly Road

             C               G   
But 'til I'm gone, I'll keep chasing this song

G 
Stood there boldly sweatin' in the sun 

C 
Felt like a million, felt like number one 

F                     C 
The height of summer, never been that strong 

       G 
Like a rock.

       G 
Like a rock - nothin' ever got to me 

       C            F
Like a rock - I was somethin' to see 

       F            C 
Like a rock 

       G 
I was like a rock.

C                   D                G           Em
Even though we ain't got money,  I'm so in love with you honey,

    C                D                G      Em 
And everything will bring a chain of love.

C                   D           G                   F      
In the morning when I rise, you bring a smile of joy to my eyes,

    Em      A     D     
And tell me everything is gonna be alright.

G               C         D
And I been from Tucson to Tucumcari,

                 G
Tehachapi to Tonapa

G                    Am                   C
I've given every kind of rig that's ever been weighed;

 C                                       D        
Driven the back roads so I wouldn't get weighed

C     D          G
Weed, whites and wine,

G                 D
And you show me a sign;

D       G     CDC      G
I'll be willin', to be movin'

    G                    Em
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine

   C                     D
He gets me my drinks for free

         G                         Em            
And he's quick with a joke and to light up your smoke

            C               D           G
But there's some place that he'd rather be

          G                       Em       
He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me."

       C                       D
As the smile ran away from his face

          G                      Em
"Yeah. I'm sure that I could be a movie star

   C           D           G
If I could get out of this place"

Em              
la da da, da di da 

Em           D     G
La di da, da di da da da

G                          Em
Play us a song, you're the piano man

C              D
Play us a song tonight

            G                     Em
Cause we're all in the mood for a melody

    C                 D         G     
And you got us all feeling alright

C
altight alright alright

G               Em
I still feel 25 most of the time

C                                    G
Still raise a little cane with the boys

G                            Em
Honkytonks and pretty women, I'm still right there with em

C                               G
High above the crowd and the noise

G
Sometimes I feel like Jesse James

Em
trying to make a name

C                                   G
Knowing noone's gonna change who I am

G
I was a young troubadour

Em
When I rode in on a song

C                                      G
and I'm gonna be an old troubadour when I'm gone

      G        D                    G              D
With a guitar full of freedom and a head full of lines

      G                D                 Em         D
That nightlife full of demons has been a hell of a ride

D              G               Cadd9        G
I got a crazy heart, and I was born to lose it

D             G            Em             D  
I'm married to a dream with a mistress named music
