George Jones – Brown To Blue (Guitar)

A                                        D
We stood there in the courthouse room so close yet far apart,

E7                                  A
You had brought your lawyer and I'd brought a broken heart,

                                           D
The judge pronounced the words the way you wanted him to do,

    E7
And changed your name from Brown to Jones,

                       A     A7
And mine from Brown to Blue.

  D
I couldn't keep my tears from falling,

A                       A7
On the courtroom floor,

   D
By law, they took away my rights,

   A             E7
To love you any- more,

   A
My world just seemed to stop,

              D
While I stood there so close to you,

     E7
They changed your name from Brown to Jones,

                       A
And mine from Brown to Blue.

A                                   D
The judge forgot to tell me how I'd live my life alone,

     E7                           A
What I would do without you after loving you so long,

                                 D
He didn't seem to care that I am still in love with you,

   E7
He changed your name from Brown to Jones,

                       A     A7
And mine from Brown to Blue.

  D
I couldn't keep my tears from falling,

A                       A7
On the courtroom floor,

   D
By law, they took away my rights,

   A             E7
To love you any- more,

   A
My world just seemed to stop,

              D
While I stood there so close to you,

     E7
They changed your name from Brown to Jones,

                       A
And mine from Brown to Blue.
