[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A D A
I was sitting here, thinking about old times
D E7 A
Some old times... some old friends
D A
When suddenly, it crossed my mind
D E7 A
That I would like to see you again
[Verse 2]
A D A
Remember how we used to walk and talk?
D E7 A
Walk and talk... holding hands
D A
We said we loved each other, I recall
D E7 A
We made a lot... of future plans
[Chorus]
D E7 A
But the years have come and gone
D E7 A
And a whole lot has happened since then
D E7 A F#m
But tonight, babe, your memory's awfully strong on my mind
D E7 A
And I would like to see you again
[Verse 3]
A D A
It's funny how an old flame comes back,
D E7 A
Come on back... make you blue
D A
But I just saw a picture of a railroad track
D E7 A
And some old shack... and me and you
[Verse 4]
A D A
Guess I'd better straighten out my mind
D E7 A
Straighten it out... go to bed
D A
And pray that I don't dream about old times
D E7 A
Some old times... gone and dead
[Chorus]
D E7 A
The years have come and gone
D E7 A
And a whole lot has happened since then
D E7 A F#m
But tonight, babe, your memory's awfully strong on my mind
D E7 A
And I would like to see you again

[Chorus]
N.C. D
Whoopie Ti Yi Yo
A
Rocking to and fro
E7 A
Back in the saddle again
[Verse 1]
A
My little boy said, "Daddy, who's Gene Autry?"
D E7
His old movie was coming on TV
A
And I said, "Let me tell you about him, son"
D E7 A
And I took him upon my knee
A D
"Why, when I was a little boy about your size
E7 A
And just about every Saturday night
D
When I could scrape up a dime for the movies
E7 A
And when my Daddy said, 'alright'
D
I'd be right downtown at the picture show
E7 A
Like everybody else that could
D
To see a handsome man on a big fine stallion
E7 A
Going about doing good"

A D
"Why, he could ride his horse and play his guitar
E7 A
And sing all at the same time
D
And I was ridin' right along there beside him
E7 A
On that broomstick pony of mine
D
And you know, his pistol never ran out of bullets
E7 A
When the bad guys had to be stopped
D
And somehow his bullets never drew any blood
E7 A
But the bad guys dropped when he shot
D
Yeah, old Gene was an image of justice
E7 A
And goodness and purity
D
And in the eyes of a poor, little country boy
E7 A
He made the world look better to me"
[Chorus]
D
Singing, "Whoopie Ti Yi Yo
A
Rocking to and fro
E B7 E
Put him back in the saddle again
D
Whoopie Ti Yi Yay
A
Let him go on his way
E7 A
Back in the saddle again"
[Verse 3]
A D
"And you know the way he rescued the rancher's daughter
E7 A
It'd send a thrill right up the aisle
D
And the ending would always send us home
E7 A
With a good victorious smile
D
Now you ask me, 'Who's Gene Autry?'
E7 A
Well, son, go ahead and watch the show
D
And then ride off into the sunset with him
E7 A
Like I did forty years ago"
[Chorus]
D
Singing, "Whoopie Ti Yi Yo
A
Rocking to and fro
E B7 E
Put him back in the saddle again
D
Whoopie Ti Yi Yay
A
Let him go on his way
E7 A D
Back in the saddle again"

7.) "Abner Brown"
[!] Capo on 1st fret [!]
[Intro]
A
[Intro Verse]
A
Every town has its town bum, I guess
A
Ours had one
A
Here's a song about him; I remember him fondly well
A
His name was Abner Brown
[Verse 1]
A E7 A
I knew an old drunk named Abner Brown
E7
Nobody knew when he came to town
D A
But he spread goodwill to his fellow men
E7 A
And they let him sleep in the cotton gin
D A
He could drink more brew than an army could
E7
But he had more friends and he did more good
D A
Than a lot of fine, fancy people in our town
E7 A
So they tolerated Abner Brown
E7 A
And all us kids were on his side
E7
'cause he told us tales 'til our eyes grew wide
D A
And he made us feel about ten feet tall
E7 A
'cause he had no kids but he claimed us all
E7 A
And after school and on weekends
E7
You could find me down at the cotton gin
D A
The truest friend that I ever found
E7 A
Was a good old drunk named Abner Brown
[Chorus]
F#m D A
Abner Brown, I wish that I could see you once again
F#m D A E7
I believe that you'd stack up with all the mighty men
A
I've met and known in all the low
D
And higher places that I've been
A F#m
Thinking of you picks me up when I'm feeling down (down low)
D E7 A
I thank the Lord for making Abner Brown
[Verse 2]
A E7 A
Lord, take me back to the cotton land
E7
To Arkansas, take me home again
D A
Let me be the boy that I once have been
E7 A
Let me walk that road to the cotton gin
E7 A
He's probably dead many years ago
E7
And gone the way that old drunks go
D A
But I'd still like to sit me down
E7 A
Talk to my old friend Abner Brown
[Chorus]
F#m D A
Abner Brown, I wish that I could see you once again
F#m D A E7
I believe that you'd stack up with all the mighty men
A
I've met and known in all the low
D
And higher places that I've been
A F#m
Thinking of you picks me up when I'm feeling down (down low)
D E7 A
I thank the Lord for making Abner Brown
D E7 A
I thank the Lord for making Abner Brown
8.) "After Taxes"
[!] Capo on 2nd fret [!]
[Intro]
E
A
E
A
[Verse]
A
I feel so good come payday
E
I think of all the things I'm going to buy when I pick up my pay; don't you know?
E
But then they hand me that little brown envelope
E
I peep inside; Lord, I lose all hope
E
'cause from those total wages earned down to that net amount that's due
A
I feel a painful sense of loss between the two
[Bridge]
E A
Hmm (federal tax), there goes that bracelet for her arm
E A
Hmm (county tax), there goes that new fence for my farm
E A
Hmm (state income tax), there goes that brand new Pontiac
E A
Hmm (withholded tax), there goes the shirt right off my back
[Chorus 1]
D A
You can dream about a honeymoon for two
D A
You can dream but that's about all you can do
D E
'cause by the time old Uncle Sam gets through with you
E
You can buy her a pair of hose, a little powder for her nose
A
And take her down to Sloppy Joe's for beer and stew
E
Them are the facts
A
After tax
[Chorus 2]
D A
You can dream about vacations in the sun
D A
You can dream but you can never have you one
D E
'cause by the time your good old Uncle Sam gets done
E
You've got just enough for gas to see them city limits pass
E A
And if you get back home fourth class, I'd say you've won
[Bridge]
E A
Hmm (federal tax), there goes that bracelet for her arm
E A
Hmm (county tax), there goes that new fence for my farm
E A
Hmm (luxury tax), send back that shortwave radio
E A
Hmm (insurance tax), cancel that trip to Mexico
E A
Hmm (state income tax), forget that brand new Pontiac
E A
Hmm (withholded tax), there goes the shirt right off my back
