Merle Haggard – Strangers (Guitar)

C
Oh the love you promised would be mine

F          C
forever. I would have bet my bottom

       G7           C
dollar on. Well it sure turned out

              F              C
to be a short forever. Just once I

          G7                C
turned by back and you were gone.

C
From now on all my friends are

         F                   C
gonna be strangers. I'm all through

              G7                C
ever trusting anyone. The only thing

                      F
I can count on now is my fingers. I was

  C                 G7
a fool believing in you and now you

    C
are gone.

C                            F
It amazes me not knowing any better.

        C
Than to think I had a love that would be

G7            C
true. Well I should be taken out

               F              C
and tarred and feathered. To have

              G7          C
let myself be taken in by you.

C                         G7
I was a fool believing in you

                 C
and now you are gone.
