Merle Haggard – I Think Its Gone Forever (Guitar)

B                                    F#             B
You could get down on your knees and beg me to come home,

       E            B                 F#7
And be talking to a man that wouldn't come,

      B                                   F#                B
Cause once you bring the curtain down, on love that used to be,

  E                  B        F#                B
I think its there forever and darling once it's done.

B                                       F#           B
I know it hurts your pride to know, that I no longer care,

    E                     B           F#
You thought I'd stay home waiting all alone,

  B                               F#     Bmaj7 B
I know you spent a world of time, taking love away,

      E                  B     F#               Bmaj7 B
And I think it's gone forever, darling once it's gone.

  E                  B     F#             B
I think it's gone forever, once it's been erased,

E                  B                 C#               F#
Once you drink the devil's wine, you can't forget the taste,

    B                                        F#              Bmaj7 B
And once your heart's been broke in two, you won't forget too soon,

      E              B             F#                  B
Cause once you sever all there is, time can't heal the wound.

  E                  B     F#             B
I think it's gone forever, once it's been erased,

E                  B                 C#               F#
Once you drink the devil's wine, you can't forget the taste,

    B                                        F#              Bmaj7 B
And once your heart's been broke in two, you won't forget too soon,

      E              B                  F#7            B
Cause once you sever all there is, time can't heal the wound.
