Willie Nelson – Local Memory (Guitar)

E                                    A
The lights go out each evening at eleven

    E                                    A
And up and down our block there's not a sound

  E                                     A
I close my eyes and search for peaceful slumber

          D              E                A
And just then the local memory comes around

        D
Piles of blues against the door

             A
To make sure sleep will come no more

A                                        E
She's the hardest working memory in this town

          D
Turns out happiness again

                A
And then lets loneliness back in

          D               E                A
And each night the local memory comes around

E                                     A
Each day I say tonight I may escape her

E                                       A
I pretend I'm happy and never even a frown

E                                            A
But at night I close my eyes and pray sleep finds me

    D                E                A
But again the local memory comes around

         D
Rids the house of all good news

          A
Then sets out my crying shoes

A                                      E
What a faithful memory never lets me down

            D
We're both up till light of day

         A
Chasing happiness away

     D                    E                 A
And each night the local memory comes around

     D                    E                 A
And each night the local memory comes around
