Misc Originals – Craig Vance-Smith - Country Songs And Blues (Guitar)

  C
I pulled into a cavern

        F
On a lone and quiet road

               C
To stop and have a drink

           G7
And some food

      C
As I sat there at the table

     F
I took in all the view

        G
Saw a man sittin'

                   C
In a corner of a room

      C
His face was all well weathered

       F
His shirt was faded too

              C
Wearing worn out and patched up

           G7
Old blue jeans

         C
I could see that he's been crying

     F
He lifted up his eyes

        G
And to say I didn't care

          C
I'd be lying

D    D
Key Change

          D
He said friend 25 years ago

         G
I was playin' in a band

 D
Doin' country songs

                 A   A7
And playin' the blues

       D
Then my wife

              G
Suddenly she DIED now 25 years I have survived

          A
But I'm hoping to be back

               D
With her real soon

 D
And the tears began to roll down the face

        G
I could tell this man was out of place

      D
The sadness in his voice

               A7
This story's true

                         G
Then I said to him my friend I can see your pain

   A
I have been that way myself

        D
Just like you

E

 E
And my wife suddenly she died

A
I just shrivelled up

    E
Wasn't sure where to go

           B7
Or what to do

E
I remember at that time

      A
When I just layed down there and cried

  B7
It was music

                          E
That helped me make it through
