_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Thank you very much.
You know the the Grammy is the award for excellence [B] in the recording industry and
[A] This next young lady was rewarded with that honor for her gold record of Harper Valley PTA
And I wish I could present [E] her with another one for fine looks because [A] she ladies and gentlemen miss Jeannie C [Ab] Riley _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ It's a backyard
Cuz the house get so hot from the summer sun.
[Cm] There was no [Bbm] way of sleeping
_ [Eb] And you'd play your old guitar with
Mosquitoes and enjoy your backyard concert, but we had no [Ab] television
_ _ We just begun our life [Fm] as men twice and hard [Ab] ships and
But scarcely
[Cm] scare us [Bbm] into quitting
_ _ [Db] Think we're [Eb] far from being fine
We often dined upon the dine
But there never was a [Cm] time
We didn't [Ab] love
_ And [A] _ _
that Christmas brought our saddest [Gbm] day
When your bride gave way to your nose A kiss
There'd be [Dbm] no gift
Cuz we [Bm] were broke
And we'd be broke
And though [E] my
Tears of grief
Were so hard to see
It didn't hurt me
Like the love I knew
_ [A] _ _
[E] It [A] was then with arms entwined
We both broke down and cried
For it seemed like nothing good would [Bm] ever come
We _ _ [E] couldn't pay
That [Bm] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [A] we didn't love
_ [Bb] Now _ _ there's an easy chance
For my [Gm] fate
To be free
A tattooed [Bb] pillow for my head
And the kids are [Dm] wild
About their [Cm] brand new car
_ [F] Dad and I
Can order steak
With all the trim and pants Not worry
If we spend a dollar more
Than [Bb] we can spend
No wonder [Dm] in our brag
We [Bb] like to man up
_ The years of [Dm] rearing kids
And [Cm] paying bills
_ [F] And I think
He guided us
Not because we were smart
But just because
There never was a time
We [Bb] didn't love
_ [Cm] Oh there never [F] was a time
[Cm] Never [F] one time
[Cm] There never [F] was a time
We [Bb] didn't love
Oh [Cm] there never was [F] a time
[Cm] We didn't love
Never one [F] time
[Cm] There never was [F] a time
We [Bb] didn't love _ _ _ _

Yeah that sounds familiar too _ _
Bad news travels like wildfire
Good news travels slow Yes sir
They all call me wildfire
Cause everybody knows [G] I'm mad
You're the worst man
Everywhere [D] I go

I lumbered Jackson Maine
I've been hired to fire and jail
Any town you name
[Ab] I'm _ [Ab] _ _ everywhere [Eb] I go Oh
