Johnny Paycheck – In Memory Of A Memory (Guitar)

          C       G7                  C
I guess I owe the neighbors an expla- nation

                                     G7        C
About the noise comin' from this old house and me

                             C7/E
Lord, but this feelin' takes hold of me

            F                           Bb7
God knows I fight it, but it takes con- trol of me

               C               G7          C      F C G7
That's why I'm here tonight in memory of a memory

         C                         G7             C
See that back yard that's where my babies used to play

                                     G7               C
And see that window, hey, that's the bedroom where we used to lay

                       C7/E  F                        Bb7 G7
Oh, sure you think I'm crazy and hell I just might be

               C                  G7          C
But as for to- night, I'm here in memory of a memory

      F                       Bb7
So go back to sleep and don't worry about me

                 C
Out here in this night air all alone

              D7                      D7/F#           D7
Yeah, I'll be leavin' soon, soon as I check each room

           G7             F    Em       G7/D
Cause it's still my home, yes, still my home

           F                             C
Guess I'll go water the flowers like she asked me to

F          C     F           C             G7
I wish I'd done, it way back then like she asked me to

               C           C7/E
Lord, but this bottle took hold of me

            F
God knows I fought it, but it took control of me

               C               G7          C
That's why I'm here tonight in memory of a memory
