Miss Emily's Picture by John Conlee
Miss Emily's Picture
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:D
Capo:2nd fret
[Verse 1]
D
I wake up in the morning is a state of fright
On the wrong side of the bed all night
G D
Clinging to the broken heart Inside my head
Em A
I open my eyes and I move my hand
Em A
From 'round her pillow to the nightstand
Em A D
And straighten Miss Emily's picture by my bed
[Verse 2]
D
Go to the office; the work's piled up
Pour three fingers bourbon in my coffee cup
G D
Cry on my best friend's shoulder down the hall
Em A
Feel so lonely, when I close the door
Em A
Bite my nails and I walk the floor
Em A D
And straighten Miss Emily's picture on my wall
[Chorus]
D G D
Look out my window and what do I see
G D A D
Nothing but pain looking back at me
G D
All that my future means to me
Em G
Is tossing yesterday's love out into the wind
Em A D
And straighten Miss Emily's picture now and then
[Verse 3]
D
I leave my office and I go downtown
To a little bar we all hang around
G D
Laugh drink beer -shoot pool and have a ball
Em A
When the laughter stops and the hurt takes hold
Em A
Reach in my pocket for my billfold
Em A D
And show Miss Emily's picture to em' all
[Verse 4]
D
I stagger in the house and I slam the door
Scatter my clothes all over the floor
G D
Wishing I could do the same thing in my head
Em A
Drink a beer and I eat a bite
Em A
And just before I turn out the light
Em A D
I straighten Miss Emily's picture by my bed
[Chorus]
D G D
Look out my window and what do I see
G D A D
Nothing but pain looking back at me
G D
All that my future means to me
Em G
Is tossing yesterday's love out into the wind
Em A D
And straighten Miss Emily's picture now and then
