Some Memories Are Better Left Alone by Mickey Newbury
Some Memories Are Better Left Alone
[Intro]
A A A A A A
[Verse 1]
A C#7 D Bm
A solitary whippoorwill is singing in the night
E7 D E A E A
I watch until he spreads his wings and he sails into the sky
C#7 D Bm
Somewhere in the distance I can hear his painful song
A E7 A
He said some memories are better left alone
[Verse 2]
A C#7 D Bm
Have you ever seen a freight train rolling down the track
E7 D E A E A
Eighty wheels on a thread of steel never looking back
C#7 D Bm
When I hear that whistle it still chills me to the bone
A E7 A
Yes some memories are better left alone
[Bridge Chorus]
D Dsus4 Bm G#dim
Do you ever have a longing for a pure and simple time
A F#m D E7
When all we had between us a a dream and one thin dime
A C#7 D Bm
And we were flat out on the highway with no place to be but gone
A E7 A
Yes, some memories are better left alone
Solo A C#7 D Bm
A E7 A
[Verse 3]
A C#7 D Bm
Well I feel just like that whipporwill singing in the night
E7 D E A E A
Trying one again to sleep I turn out the light
C#7 D Bm
Lying in the darkness I am waiting for the dawn
A E7 A
Yes, some memories are better left alone
[Outro]
C#7 D Bm
I am lying in the darkness waiting for the dawn
A E7 A
Lord, some memories are better left alone
