[Intro]
E7 A
[Verse 1]
A D
Always alone, alone and blue
E7 A
I've got no one to tell my troubles to

No one to care, to call my own

It seems that I must always be alone
[Verse 2]
A D
The day you left, you broke my heart

I need you so but we're so far apart

You didn't care, I should have known

That you would go and leave me all alone

Country boy, ain't got no shoes

Country boy, ain't got no blues

Well, you work all day while you're wanting to play

In the sun and the sand, with a face that's tan
E
But at the end of the day, when your work is done
B7 E
You ain't got nothin' but fun
[Verse 2]
A E
Country boy, ain't got no ills
A E
Country boy, don't owe no bills
E
You get a wiggly worm and then you watch him squirm
E
While you put him on a hook and you drop him in a brook
E
And if everything's gonna turn out right
B7 E
You're gonna fry fish tonight
[Chorus 1]
A E
Country boy, you're lucky free

Country boy, I wish I was you and you was me

Country boy, got work to do

Country boy, in the morning dew

You gotta cut the weeds, you gotta plant the seeds

There's many a row, you know you gotta hoe
E
But when it's quitting time, and your work is through
B7 E
There's a lot of life in you
[Verse 4]
A E
Country boy, you got a shaggy dog
A E
Country boy, up a holler log
E
Well, he comes in a run when you pick up your gun
E
And with a shell or two and your dog and you
E
When you get your rabbit, you'll skin his hide
B7 E
He's gonna be good fried
[Chorus 2]
A E
Country boy, you got a lot to lose
A B7 E
Country boy, how I wish I was in your shoes

Pack your bags and pull out this evening.

There's a wide open road."

On Saturday morning, you were nowhere about

I looked north, east, and west and then a-leading south
F# B7 E
I saw a wide open road
[Chorus]

There's a wide open road

And you left your wedding ring when you went down
F# B7
That wide open road
E
If you're gonna stay away, then honey, let me know
A
How to cook hot biscuits out of a roll of dough
E
Everything's gone crazy since I told you to go
F# B7 E
Down the wide open road
[Chorus]

There's a wide open road

And honey, I want you to know

You can look down south or you can turn back home

And there's a wide open road

6.) "Big River"
[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E
Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry
F#7 B7
And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky
E A
And the tears that I cried for that woman are gonna flood you, Big River
E B7 E
Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die
E
I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota
F#7 B7
And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl, Southern drawl

And I followed you, Big River, when you called
[Bridge]
E A E
B7 E
[Verse 2]

Then you took me to St. Louis later on, down the river

A freighter said, "She's been here, but she's gone, boy, she's gone"
E A
I found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the block
E B7 E
She raised a few eyebrows and then she went on down alone
E
Now, won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it on
F#7 B7
Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans
E A
Go on, I've had enough, dump my blues down in the gulf
E B7 E
She loves you, Big River, more than me
[Bridge]
E A E
B7 E
[Verse 3]

Now I taught the weeping willow how to cry, cry, cry

Then I'm gonna sit right here until I die
7.) "Belshazzar"
[Intro]
A E7 A
[Verse 1]
A
Well, the Bible tells us about a man
A
Who ruled Babylon and all its land
A
Around the city, he built a wall
E7 A
And declared that Babylon would never fall
A
He had concubines and wives
A
He called his Babylon "paradise"
A
On his throne, he drank and ate
E7 A
But for Belshazzar, it was getting late
[Chorus]
A
For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting
E7
His kingdom was divided, couldn't stand
A
He was weighed in the balance and found wanting
E7 A
His houses were built upon the sand
A E7 A
[Verse 2]
A
Well, the people feasted and drank their wine
A
And praised the false gods of his time
A
All holy things, they scorned and mocked
E7 A
But suddenly, all their mocking stopped
A
For on the wall, there appeared a hand
A
Nothing else, there was no man
A
In blood, the hand began to write
E7 A
And Belshazzar couldn't hide his fright
[Chorus]
A
For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting
E7
His kingdom was divided, couldn't stand
A
He was weighed in the balance and found wanting
E7 A
His houses were built upon the sand
A E7 A
[Verse 3]
A
Well, no one around could understand
A
What was written by the mystic hand
A
Belshazzar tried but couldn't find
E7 A
A man who could give him peace of mind
A
But Daniel the prophet, a man of God
A
He saw the writing on the wall in blood
A
Belshazzar asked him what it said
E7 A
And Daniel turned to the wall and read
[Chorus]
A
"My friend, you're weighed in the balance and found wanting
E7
Your kingdom is divided, it can't stand
A
You're weighed in the balance and found wanting
E7 A
Your houses are built upon the sand"
A E7 A
8.) "Born to Lose"
[Intro]
B7 E
[Verse 1]
E A E
Born to lose, I've lived my life in vain
A E
Every dream has only brought me pain
E7 A
All my life, I've always been so blue
B7 E
Born to lose and now I'm losing you
[Verse 2]
E A E
Born to lose, it seems so hard to bear
A E
How I long to always have you near
E7 A
You've grown tired and now you say we're through
B7 E
Born to lose and now I'm losing you
[Interlude]
B7 E
[Verse 3]
E A E
Born to lose, my every hope is gone
A E
It's so hard to face that empty dawn
E7 A
You were all the happiness I knew
B7 E
Born to lose and now I'm losing you
[Verse 4]
E A E
There's no use to dream of happiness
A E
All I see is only loneliness

All my life, I've always been so blue

Born to lose and now I'm losing you
9.) "New Mexico"
[Verse 1]
N.C. A E7 A
It was in the town of Griffin, the year was '83
D A
It was there an old cowpuncher stepped up and said to me
D A
"How do you do, young fellow and how would you like to go
E7 A
And spend a pleasant summer out in New Mexico?"
[Verse 2]
A E7 A
"I'll furnish you good wages, your transportation too
D A
If you will but go with me one summer season through
D A
But if you should get homesick and back to Griffin go
E7 A
Then I'll furnish you no horses from the hills of Mexico"
[Verse 3]
A E7 A
We left the town of Griffin in the merry month of May
D A
When all the world was lovely and everything was gay
D A
With saddles on our horses, marching onward, we did go
E7 A
Until we reached Old Boggy out in New Mexico
[Verse 4]
A E7 A
It was there our pleasures ended and our troubles, they began
D A
The first hailstorm fell on us, those cattle, how they ran
D A
Through all the thorns and thistles, us cowboys had to go
E7 A
While the Indians watched upon us out in New Mexico
[Verse 5]
A E7 A
Well, when the drive was over, the riders would not pay
D A
To all you happy people, this much I have to say
D A
Go back to your friends and loved ones, tell others not to go
E7 A
To the godforsaken country they call New Mexico

[Intro]
E E7 A
[Verse]
A E7
I forgot to remember to forget her
A
I can't seem to get her off my mind

I thought I'd never miss her but I found out somehow
E7 A
I think about her almost all the time
[Chorus]
D A
The day she went away, I made myself a promise

That I'd soon forget we'd ever met

I forgot to remember to forget

11.) "Two Timin' Woman"
[Intro]
G7 C
[Verse 1]
C
I woke up this morning in a terrible mood
C7
Now, you talk about a woman treating a good man rude
F C
She had me talking to myself, gazing at that mean ol' wall
G7 C
She had another daddy waiting down at the end of the hall
[Verse 2]
C
She changes with the weather like the leaves I recall
C7
She blossoms in the spring but then she's gone in the fall
F C
A two-timing woman with a heart of solid stone
G7 C
She tells me that she loves me but her heart's a little under-grown
[Interlude]
C
C7
F C
G7 C
[Verse 3]
C
Well, she drifts around the country like a steamboat on a foam
C7
She said she'd never leave me but she got the urge to roam
F C
She never changes course, she just goes along that same ol' way
G7 C
Well, I hope she keeps a-drifting, rolls along back home someday
[Verse 4]
C
'cause if I ever find her, gonna chain her to the floor
C7
And tell her, "Now, sit there, woman. You ain't leaving no more.
F C
I'm gonna tame you, Mama, 'til you're eating from my hand.
G7 C
It ain't that I don't love you, honey. It's just to make you understand."
