1.) "Out Among the Stars"
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C F
It's midnight at a liquor store in Texas
C G7
Closing time, another day is done
C F
When a boy walks in the door and points a pistol
C G7 C
He can't find a job, but Lord, he's found a gun
F
He pulls it off with no trace of confrontation
C G7
Then, he lets the old man run out in the street
C F
Even though he knows they'll come with guns a-blazing
C G7 C
Already he can feel a great relief
[Chorus]
C Bb F
Oh, how many travelers get weary
C G7
Bearing both their burdens and their scars
C Bb F
Don't you think they'd love to start all o--ver
C G7 C
And fly like eagles out among the stars
[Verse 2]
C F
He'd pictured the arrival of the cruisers
C G7
Sees that old familiar anger in their eyes
C F
He knows that when they're shooting at this loser
C G7 C
They'll be aiming at the demons in their lives
[Chorus]
C Bb F
Oh, how many travelers get weary
C G7
Bearing both their burdens and their scars
C Bb F
Don't you think they'd love to start all o--ver
C G7 C
And fly like eagles out among the stars
C#
[Verse 3]
C# F#
The evening news carries all the details
C# G#
He dies in every living room in town
C# F#
And in his own, a bottle is thrown in anger
C# G# C#
And his father cries, "We'll never live this down"
[Chorus]
C# B F#
Oh, how many travelers get weary
C# G#
Bearing both their burdens and their scars
C# B F#
Don't you think they'd love to start all o--ver
C# G# C#
And fly like eagles out among the stars
C# G# F#
And fly like eagles out among the stars

If I drove a truck (and I were a waitress)

Aye-ee, my baby, ride easy

We'll chuck the chuck wagon and we'll ride away
[Verse 2]
A D
(If I were a winsome pale señorita)

And I a bullfighter, way down in the sand

While the band kept on playing that Old Pasadore

Would you throw me a flower? (Would you take my hand?)
[Chorus]

A E A
[Verse 3]
A D
If I ran the country (I'd be your first lady
A E
And fix up the White House while you were away)
D A
Waiting while you're passing time with world leaders
E A
Left alone together, alone we might lay
[Chorus]
F#m E
Aye-ee, my baby, ride easy
D A E
Ride high in the saddle all day
A D E A
(If your loving is good) and your cooking ain't greasy
D E A
We'll chuck the chuck wagon and we'll ride away

We'll chuck the chuck wagon and we'll ride away

I wanted to see the Grand Ole Opry show
C G D7
So I hailed a cab and I headed down to Opryland
G D7
They said they'd sold their last ticket the day before
C G
So I kinda just hung around the backstage door
C G D7 G
And down the steps she came, man oh man
G D7
My favorite female country star
C G
She waved to her fans and headed for her car
C G D7
Her tire, unlike her body, was very flat
G D7
She said, "Could you change my tire?"
C G
I said, "Your wish is my desire"
C G D7 G
As she raised the lid, I grabbed her bumper jack
G
She said, "I sure do appreciate you changing my tire"
[Chorus]
G D7
If I told you who it was, if I told you who it was
C D7 G
You would say I was making it up
D7
You've seen her on the screen and Country magazine
C D7 G
You'd think I was making it up
D7
She said it was our little secret
C D7 G
And by golly, I'm gonna keep it
D7
Anyway, you wouldn't believe it
C D7 G
If I told you who it was
[Verse 2]
G D7
She said, "You need a lift?" And I said, "Well,
C G
You can drop me off at the York Motel"
C G D7
So we headed down Briley Parkway in the town
G D7
I told her, "I got all your records ma'am"
C G
She smiled and said, "Well, I'll be damned.
C G D7 G
Say, you're kind of cute, fella. Wanna mess around?" Hm!
D7
When we got to my room, just to be polite
C G
I said, "Sure wish I could've heard you sing tonight"
C G D7
She smiled at me and said, "Whatcha wanna hear?"
G D7
Now, if I was one of them country music folks
C G
I'd tell you, she'd sure get my vote
C G D7 G
For the best performance of the year
[Chorus]
G D7
If I told you who it was, if I told you who it was
C D7 G
You would say I was making it up
D7
You've seen her on the screen and Country magazine
C D7 G
You'd think I was making it up

She said it was our little secret

And by golly, I'm gonna keep it

Anyway, you wouldn't believe it
C D7 G
If I told you who it was
[Bridge]
G
Well, I'll tell you this much
G
When I put my arms around her and squeezed her real tight
G
She looked up at me with those big beautiful eyes
G
Took a deep breath and a sigh and said:
N.C.
"Howdy! I'm just so proud to be here!"
[Chorus]
G D7
If I told you who it was, if I told you who it was
C D7 G
You would say I was making it up
D7
You've seen her on the screen and Country magazine
C D7 G
You'd think I was making it up
D7
She said it was our little secret
C D7 G
And by golly, I'm gonna keep it
D7
Anyway, you wouldn't believe it

8.) "I Drove Her Out of My Mind"
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D
She gave me my walking papers and ran off with someone new
G D
'cause he bought her things my wages couldn't buy
G D
So I turned to ups and downers and everything between
E A
Still, I can't get her good loving off my mind
D
Well, today, I bought a Cadillac, the kind she's always wanted
G D
I called and asked her if she'd like to ride
G D
She said, "This is our last date." I said, "That's alright with me."
A7 D
'cause tonight I'm driving her out of my mind
[Chorus]
G D
Yeah, I'll take her on a scenic cruise right off of Lookout Mountain
A7
'cause she said I never took her out when she was mine
G D
She'll see all seven states as we drive to the Pearly Gates
A7 D
Tonight, when I drive her out of my mind
[Verse 2]
D
All the papers will read "Lovers Leap Again Off Lookout Mountain"
G D
'cause I wrote a note that called it suicide
G D
But my epitaph will say, "He killed his pain yesterday
E A
When he finally drove that woman off his mind"
D
Well now, here she comes to greet me, dressed to kill and so am I
G D
Hope she asks me if this Cadillac will fly
G D
And I know that I'll die laughing when I show her that it will
A7 D
When I drive that woman right out of my mind
[Chorus]
G D
Yeah, I'll take her on a scenic cruise right off of Lookout Mountain
A7
'cause she said I never took her out when she was mine
G D
She'll see all seven states as we drive to the Pearly Gates
A7 D
Tonight, when I drive her out of my mind
[Verse 3]
D G
They'll say, "Johnny Cash was quite a smash down here in Chattanooga
D A7 D
Last night, when he drove her out of his mind"
D
Yeah, that Cadillac dealer's in for a big surprise, too
D
99 dollars down, 99 dollars a month, ha ha ha ha

[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D G
Mama, I guess you heard I got married in Tennessee
A7 D
I got a blue-eyed girl who thinks the world of me
G
We got a cabin in the country and a creek that rolls nearby
A7 D
And a dog that won't even bark at a firefly
G
Our clotheslines hang just outside our backdoor
A7 D
And there's a tire that swings in the air ten feet or more
G
There's a church I can't seem to find on Sunday morning
A7 D
But I sure found the place that I belong in
[Chorus]
G A7
And we wear... blue jeans and big green beans
D G
Spend the summertime naturally high
A7
By chopping wood for next winter's fire
D G
Saving our money for the county fair
A7
George Jones is supposed to be there
G A7
We got... forty acres of corn in the ground
D G
Tennessee taters we sell by the pound
A7
Proud as we can be
G A7 D
To live in Tennessee
[Verse 2]
D G
Mama, you and Dad gotta come stay with us sometime
A7 D
I know you'll love that sweet little gal of mine
D G
You and her could talk about babies, make some homemade apple pie
A7 D
While me and Dad could take a walk, maybe talk about old times
[Chorus]
G A7
And we wear... blue jeans and big green beans
D G
Spend the summertime naturally high
A7
By chopping wood for next winter's fire
D G
Saving our money for the county fair
A7
George Jones is supposed to be there
G A7
We got... forty acres of corn in the ground
D G
Tennessee taters we sell by the pound
A7
Proud as we can be
G A7 D
That we live in Tennessee
G A7
We are proud as we can be
G A7 D
To be from Tennessee
G A7
We are proud as we can be

To be from Tennessee

Hang up my rock and roll shoes
[Guitar Solo]

[Intro]
E A
[Verse 1]
A A7 D
I couldn't manage the problems I brought on myself
E A
And it just made it worse when I laid them on somebody else

So I finally surrendered it all, brought down in despair
E A A7
I cried out for help and I felt a warm comforter there
[Chorus]
D A
And I came to believe in a power much higher than I
E E7 A A7
I came to believe that I needed help to get by
D A
In childlike faith, I gave in and gave Him a try
E E7 A A7
And I came to believe in a power much higher than I
[Interlude]
D
A
E E7
A
[Verse 2]
A A7 D
Nothing worked out when I handled it all on my own
E A
And each time I failed, it made me feel twice as alone
A7 D
Then I thought, "Lord, there must be a surer and easier way
E A A7
For it just cannot be that a man should lose hope every day."
[Chorus]
D A
And I came to believe in a power much higher than I
E E7 A A7
I came to believe that I needed help to get by
D A
In childlike faith, I gave in and gave Him a try

And I came to believe in a power much higher than I
