Twilight 04:31
C-G-Am-F, C-G-F-C She lets down her hair, and takes off her aprin She strips off her makeup and turns on the TV It’s just her and the kids now since the army took her husband Was all she could do just to keep from losing herself G-G7-F-G, G-G7-F-G7 She buries the hurting as long as she’s working and keeping the heartache at bay She carries that feeling with no time for healing open wounds won’t go away C-Dm7-Fmaj7-G7x2 And it’s twilight in this town, twilight in this town Well it’s twilight in this town, it’s twilight and it used to be morning all day They Closed down the Saw mill, moved it all to China Tore it down and built a WalMart that pays ¼ what the mill used to They boarded up mainstreet and put up a new MacDonalds She took a job slinging whisky and beer at some redneck bar She thinks about leaving, the drinking, and the stinkin’ foul whiskey smellin’, smoky air She keeps on believing the money she’s making is the best she can do anywhere Chorus Bb-C-G Bb-Dm7-G7 She gets up every morning at 6 O’clock yawning to get all the kids off to school She dreams about a better day a man that won’t run away and won’t make her feel like a fool Chorus

Wheels 03:59
1 4 1 4 1 4 6m 5 4 She was lighting up the pool table in that dim and worn out bar Knockin every shot down, tearin everything apart In a last call game of eight ball, 2 games down I put up my car She took my ride and she won the keys to my heart 1 4 1 4 1 4 6m 5 4 She was a 78 Camaro I built up from the ground 4 barrel, 4 on the floor, the fastest in this town She was the kinda beauty that makes a man feel weak When I lost her, I lost a piece of me...Lost a piece of me A D A F#m E, A D F# Bm7 C#m7 D Baby Turn your Wheels back to me She was a 78, perfect shape, the best I’d ever seen She’d still be mine, if I could cheat time Just let my love set you free, point your wheels back to me I was lost and alone all I could do was stare Then I heard that big block winding down, and I saw her sitting there She said, “I bet the stars look pretty under these T-Tops tonight” baby climb on in 3and hang on tight....Hang on tight. Baby Turn your Wheels back to me Born in 78, perfect shape, the best I’d ever seen She’d still be mine, if I could cheat time Just let my love set you free, point your wheels back to me F#m E A D Bm7 C#m7 D E11 Bridge/Lead Wough..oh...oh oh..Darlin Don’t let me go.. 33 She’s still out there on the edge, waiting for the winter thaw I still hear tales of her adventures from wayward truckers and outlaws That sweet 78 with the hourglass shape, She was once mine But ya know everything comes back around in time...comes back in time Chorus

Came home from NAM in November of 72 nobody was around no more i wanted to talk to so I roamed around for a for a while then I headed down south to try to wash the taste of blood out of my mouth Ended up in Texas in the spring of 73 fell for a southern bell when she cast her eyes at me so we settled down in Houston town to raise a family but the nightmares drove me to the bottle and the bottle drove my girl from me Cause it takes time for you to learn to be a man and it can take a lifetime for you to ever find true love again so Take the bottle from my hand Moved on to another town as another year rolled by heard tales of fortune waiting where the mountains meet the sky So I drove up to the north country in the Summer of 75 to see if I could find a reason to stay alive Hired on the pipeline the work was hard and it eased my mind by the time the work was done I was feelin fine So I bought some land in Livengood where I could make a home built a cabin with my own 2 hands but a man ain’t meant to live alone Cause it takes time for you to learn to be a man and it can take a lifetime for you to ever find your peace again so Take the Bottle from my hand (Em, D/F#, G-C, Bm7, Am7, D7) But that was years ago before I met my wife She helped me shake the bottle and I know she saved my life Gazing at the Northern Lights as I strum this old guitar ya know my favorite fishing hole isn’t very far In the summertime there’s warm sunshine and in the wintertime it’s cold and I still dream a young man’s dreams, and I don’t mind growing old Cause it takes time for you to learn to be a man and it can take a lifetime for you to ever come this way again so Take the Bottle from my hand.....Take the Bottle From My Hand © 2011 Sean Mormelo

E-C#m-Asus2-Asus2/F#-Asus2-E-Bsus2 Baby it’s so clear to me I can see it coming down, I been keepin and eye on everything from Copenhagen town tryin’a make a great escape but I can seem to wrap my head around how I broke down Baby I’ve been gone too long so far from our home this place ain’t got no internet, no satellite or phone try to touch base when I can I curse myself for leaving you alone, yea all alone A-E-C#m-Bsus2-Asus2-Asus2/F#-Bsus2-E Well I ride these buses and the Train and I walk these streets in the freezing rain but I won’t let the darkness hold me down... Cause I’m coming home from Copenhagen town Baby I’m so scared today, the dollar’s going down the money that i’m makin here is nothing in this town. the drunks don’t seem to pay no mind it’s suites me fine, cause I feel like a clown, like a clown Baby I know the price of fuel back home keeps going up, Maybe you can buy some food and still gas up the truck. I sent the money for the rent, we’re fortunate but most are outta luck.. out of luck Well I pluck these strings till my fingers bleed and I wipe the blood off on my sleeve and I Won’t let my baby down Cause I’m coming home from Copenhagen Town. (Bridge) G#-C#m-B- Bbm7-5 / E-Asus2/F#-Bsus2 well I sleep all day and I sing all night and I’m marking My pay down... Then I just hang around Baby Everything feels like it’s crumbling to the ground, banks are taking people’s homes the drums of war still sound the corporate politicians raise their glasses while they take our country down, take her down. Well I ride the Buses and the train and I walk the streets in the pouring rain but I won’t let it get me down And I’ll bend these strings till my fingers bleed and I can’t stand on my aching knees cause I will never let you down.... I’m coming home from Copenhagen town I’ll be coming home from Copenhagen town. Related

Goodbye 04:14
G-Gsus-F-CX4 He had one more debt to pay, one more night to stay He could see the dawning day in his mind She was everything they said, crown upon her head But why did she feel dead, inside? C-Csus-Ab-FX2 G-Gsus-F-CX2 One more wasted night, it’s Blackest fore the light He held her in his arms, good and tight D-C-G, D-C-A7-D7 An orange glow erupts across the sky He won’t wake her up, she don’t wanna say.. Goodbye...Goodbye.... She led him on the run, magnetic as the sun melting everyone, in her smile He tried break away, but it was easier to stay It carried on this way, for quite a while One more wasted night, flip the switch tonight He tells her everything will be alright A Satin Glow erupts across her eyes but he could not give up, He don’t wanna say Goodbye....Goodbye Harmonica Lead A Satin Glow erupts across her eyes but he could not give up, He don’t wanna say Goodbye....Goodbye Goodbye....Goodbye.... Harmonica out

City Lights cloak the sky or I’d wish upon a star tonight There ain’t no clear end in sight But somewhere else under that same sky someone else is wondering why The stars are out but they can’t see them shine Oh that’s life, oh that’s life with a slice of humble pie-2/4 Bar. (G Asus4 D D/C# Bm7 Bm7/A E7 Cadd9 G/B Asus4-D) When I fall down I get back up You take my fear away Yea, it was hard to get here, but you make it easy to stay. City boy livin’ in exile, Small town’s sweeter by a country mile I can finally see those stars clear in the sky Now I know they were always there, our lucky stars are everywhere Just open up your eyes, and you’ll see them shine This new life, This new life, I’m so alive When I fall down I get back up You take my fear away Yea, it was hard to get here, but you make it easy to stay. For all the blessings in our lives, we can thank our sacrifice The stars above can help you navigate, but look inside for the brightest guiding light Lead This city boy got his country girl, living in their perfect world And there’s a place out there for everyone.. It’s your life, it’s your life. This is your time-Pause 2/4 Bar Chorus-Tag-Out

I misunderstood Oh darlin maybe I misunderstooooood Like a Babe out in the woods, I Misunderstood..... Like you always knew I would..misunderstood (A-E-F#7-A-B) So I won’t pour my heart out in a bottle anymore They say love brings you closer, but our love’s more like war Lead Over Prechorus Breakdown Misunderstood...oh darlin maybe I misunderstood Though it wouldn’t do no good..Misunderstood Chorus

Money 03:19
Yea they talk about it, and they shout about it Only know they can’t live without it They obsess about it, think they’ll die without it They can’t imagine a world that doesn’t revolve around it Money can buy you freedom, money can free your mind Yes and Money can feed the world and heal the blind Oh but Money can’t buy You time We’re enslaved by it, we can’t be saved by it Maybe we should be enraged by it Yea we yearn for it, we’re gonna burn for it Never think to question why we fight about it Money can buy you freedom, money can free your mind Yes and Money can feed the world and heal the blind Oh but Money can’t buy You time Em D/F# G C Am D7 Everybody’s lookin’ for something more, don’t even know the reason we need it for Just dreaming of the the day when we don’t have to do it anymore Money can buy you freedom, money can free your mind Yes and Money can feed the world and heal the blind Yea but Money can’t buy you time Money can’t buy You time Money can’t buy You time Na Na Na Na Na Na NA Na....

When I’m all torn up, stressed out, the whole world stretching me thin. I reach for my daddy’s old records, take one out for a midnight spin. “Hello Darlin” and Your Cheatin’ Heart, have a healing power you can't ignore. It goes without saying, preaching or praying, they don't write them like that anymore. The way back country sound never seems to grow old. I love way back country tales of a simple life moving slow. Riding shotgun in my grandpa's truck, tearing down gravel roads. Only the way back country speaks to this country boy's soul. Some days I Feel so Lonesome I could cry all day I Keep humming that old line in “He Stopped Lovin’ Her Today” Put the top down in my old Bel Air, I’m the king of the road Right through that Ring of Fire, across the cumberland plateau The way back country sound never seems to grow old. I love way back country tales of a simple life moving slow. Riding shotgun in my grandpa's truck, tearing down gravel roads. Only the way back country speaks to this country boy's soul. Solo Breakdown The way back country sound never seems to grow old. I love way back country tales of a simple life moving slow. Kick in: Riding shotgun in my grandpa's truck, tearing down gravel roads. Only the way back country speaks to this country boy's soul.
