I watched the [B]
sun come up [E] today.
The wind [B] swept all the [E] clouds away.
[A] Sky did [E] turn from gray to blue.
[B] As my thoughts did [E] turn to you.
The birds [B] sang songs we [E] used to sing.
[B] Memories of you [E] to bring.
Soft [A] and sweet [E] and clear.
And how the [B] day is slowly [E] passing by.
[A] Tonight I'll be [E] alone and blue.
With [A] empty [E] arms as long for you.
[A] I only hear [E] the lonesome sound.
[A] [E]
[B] Since you left our [E] little town.

[Abm] [E]
don't know [B]
why you went [E] away.
And [B] nothing's all you [E] had to say.
[A] Not a word comes through here [E] about you.
[A] And [E]
[B] soon my heart will [E] break in two.
[A] Another [E] night alone and blue.
[A] With empty arms [E] as long for you.
I [A] only hear [E] the lonesome sound.
[B] Since you left our [E] little town.
[B] Since you left our [E] little town.
[C] Thanks.

[Abm] This is called Officer Norris.
It's about [G] a cop that put me in jail [B] one time for,
I was with a married woman and her child.
And her husband wasn't there and the cop didn't like that.
And we were all friends and it was on the up and up kind of.
But anyway, a cop stopped us for swerving.
After leaving a Burger King parking lot and going ten feet.
And the car was like 14 feet long.
And it's like, well, how could we swerve?
Cars not that short.
Anyway, shut up, boy.
And they put me in jail and I had tennis shoes on and they had a concrete floor.
[Abm] It was a night kind of like the night and my guitar was in the back of the truck.
And I was afraid it was getting rained on and the case wasn't good.
So I wrote this song.
But anyway, I kept stomping on the concrete floor in my tennis shoes.
And they never heard me and my feet paid.
[B] So now I wear taps on my tennis shoes.
