Johnny Paycheck – Pride Covered Ears (Guitar)

   G                          G7
It sounds like a mad heard of elephants

     C                          G
Just trampled right through our front room

G
And added to that a wild heard of horses

A7                                 D     D7
Stampeding through the dark dreary gloom

    G                                     G7
But it's only the beating of a sad aching heart

   C                         G
Combined with the falling of tears

         C                          G
Ain't it strange how the mind exaggerates little sounds

     D                         G    G7
That pride covered ears barely hear

C        D                G
I hear a time bomb loudly ticking away

    C           D          G
Any minute it's going to explode

         C               D            G
But it's really just the clock on the wall down the hall

A7                                     D    D7
Counting seconds till you walk out the door

       G                                      G7
And it sounds like a man is screaming for his life

         C                                G
But it's really just me whispering please stay dear

         C                          G
Ain't it strange how the mind exaggerates little sounds

     D                          G
That pride covered ears barely hear
