This Song Is For You by Merle Haggard
This Song Is For You
Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: G
[Verse 1]
G
This song is for you, you know who you are
D7
Won't embarrass you by callin' out your name.
D7
You're here every night, serving up the drinks
G
Wearin' your superficial smile.
G
You still wear the wedding band, on your left hard workin' hand
G7 C
For a memory of a man who's chained and bound
G
Lord knows you need a man and an understandin' hand
D7 G
Before you run completely out of love
[Chorus]
G D7
You can't stay in love with a memory
D7
You can't stay in love with a dream
D7
Yet you've fallen in love with a picture on the wall
D7 G
And the sad part is the picture's not of me
[Verse 2]
G
That cold December day, they took her man away
D7
Never dreamin' of the gentle heart they broke
D7
Now she waits by the phone, she waits there all alone
G
But the only one who ever calls is me
G
Now I'm a prisoner of a slave to one way love
G7 C
I wish they'd let him go so I'd be free
C G
Break these chains that bind and release this heart of mine
D7 G
Before I run completely out of love
[Chorus]
G D7
You can't stay in love with a memory
D7
You can't stay in love with a dream
D7
Yet you've fallen in love with a picture on the wall
D7 G
And the sad part is the picture's not of me
