As I recorded this album, you [G] know, I still believe in my heart as I have [D] for years
[G] The Merle Haggard's one of the greatest when it comes to writing a song and singing it
If [D] you ever listen to him real close each song paints like a master painter now a perfect picture of life itself
So I want to begin this album with a song that is a song about
Something in your past.
Maybe you can't forget
Like love that's called memory and for those of you that experienced that feeling out there
Well, I know Hag wrote this song for you
[F#] [B]
[D] [F#] You can find me in [B] a dim light
[F#]
And she's not looking for you if your coldness should ever
[C#] turn warm
You think she's gonna change [F#] but the chances [B] of you
[F#] Never change.
She's not gonna change
Are it's them
[C#] as your to
[F#] government arms
[D#] So [F#] I'm [B] turning off a
[F#]
Memory
As quickly
As time [C#] will allow
Why don't you get off the phone and have [F] a drink yes, [F#] I'm [B] turning off
[F#] This memory.
I'm gonna turn up the bottle while you turn off the memory and the wine
[C#] Seems to help me
[F#] Somehow
[D#]
Now you wrote it [B] Haggard.
Yes, you play it

[D#] [F#]
[B] [F#]
[C#] [F#]
[Bm] If [F#] he's lucky
[B] He'll someday [F#] forget her
Boy, I'm glad somebody understand when the wine
finally takes [C#] full control
I'll guarantee you haggard.
[F#] Well, that's not much [B] of the future
[F#] to look to
But I can't stand [C#] to see the pain in his [F#] soul
And he's
[B] turning off [F#] a
memory
as quickly as
time will [C#] allow
[F#] Yes, he turned [B]
off a [F#] memory
And why seems [C#] to help somehow
