[B] If not [E] for you, _ _ _ [A] I would know nothing [E] _ _ of. _
[A] _ [E] _ _ [A] My wife, Joy, wakes up [E] at 3.30 every morning and heads down to the restaurant to open up
and get the fire [A] going.
[B] _ She's baking by four and serving customers at seven.
_ Her and my sister, [A] Marcy, opened the Meal House [B] last year.
They wanted to create a place for the people in our community [E] to gather and be able to
share in each other's lives.
_ [Am] They have some incredible [E]
food, but most people come, I think, [Db] because they love the girls.
[Gb] _ Joy [B] loves her [E] job, but truthfully, it's what keeps her [Eb] busy while she's working [E] on her
real dream, _ [Am]
[Bb] music.
_ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ Sweet [Bb] and hitty, _ _ as [F] the needle runs through you, _ the way the paint [Bb] shines through, well I know.
[G] What if I hadn't gone to town _ to [C] _
_ _ pick up a thing or [G] two?
_ _ Joy's a singer.
[C] She's got a gift.
She just opens her mouth and the [G] world moves.
At least mine does. _
[C] Joy moved down here from Indiana eight or nine years ago to [E] chase the same dream [D] that
I did, to make her mark in country [G] music.
_ [C]
But she's not your normal country singer.
[G] Besides owning a restaurant, she ropes and rides, drives a dually truck, and she doesn't
go anywhere without her hound Rufus by her side.
I met her about six years ago at a songwriter night I was playing.
[A] I like to tell people she was stalking me. _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ He [D] was different. _ _ _ _
_ [G] He was one [A]
of a [Bm] kind.
_ _ We live in an old [D] 1870s farmhouse.
My husband, Rory, feeds the animals at the farm first thing [E] every morning.
[Bm] Then he gets in his little bug that he calls his tractor and he comes down and has coffee
with me before he heads [A] into town. _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ My _ _ old man.
_ [Bb] Rory's a songwriter.
[Bm] He starts off every day with a blank page and comes home with things that make me cry
and [A] laugh and think.
[Bm] He's written a few big hits like Blake Shelton's Sun Beach and Clay [Dbm] Walker's Chain of [E] Love,
but some of his best songs have never been heard yet.
[A] _ _ [G] I was just ten years [D] old, [G] so I've _ [D] _ [Bm]
never_
Rory moved here [Ab] from Kansas in 95.
_ He was a single dad back then, raising his two girls by himself. _
[Dbm] Another reason I fell in love with him.
[F] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _
If [B] I leave [G] here [A] _ _ _ [Am] tomorrow, _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ [F] _ _
would you remember [G]
me? _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _
I [G] must be traveling [Am] _ _ _ home _ now.
[Bb] _ _ _
There's [F] places I've got to [G]
see. _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ If [G] I stay here [Am] with you, _ _ _ love, _
[F] _ _ _ it wouldn't be [G] the same. _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ I'm [G] as free as [Am] a _ bird _ _ now.
[Bb] _ _ _
[F] This bird you [C] can't change. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _
[F] This bird you _ [D] [C] can't change. _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] This bird you [C] can't change.
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Db] When you're [D] born a farmer, _ _ _ _ _ it's what [G] you want your [D] son to [B] be.
[A] He was [Gm] broken [G] hearted. _
_ I said, I'm [A] going to Tennessee.
But who [D] sold that old truck? _
_ [G] It's left the [A] money in [B] my _ hands.
_ [G] _
_ _ _ [A] My _ [D] old man.
_ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
Cheater, cheater, where'd you meet her?
[N] Down at Ernie's bar.
Did she smile your way for her hair and [G] say how cute your dimples are?
[A] [B] Did she use that line for a place [E] or a mind while you danced with [A] her?
Slow.
_ Tell me, cheater, cheater, [E] where'd you meet that low, good-wired, trash hoe?
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ Liar, liar, did you buy her whiskey on [E] the run?
_ Did you hide your ring in the pocket of your jeans [B] or did you just keep it on?
[E] When the deed was done [Em] and you had your fun, did you [Gbm] think I [A] wouldn't know?
Tell me, cheater, cheater, [E] where'd you [B] meet that low, good-wired, trash _ _ [Ab] hoe?
Our [N] stories are very different.
But they're also the same. _
I grew up with my mom and dad singing and playing around the house.
_ [Bb] My dad [B] worked on the railroad, but his real passion [E] was country. _
_ My parents mostly sang old [A] songs that I'd never heard on the radio.
Old [E] Jim Reeves [Dbm] songs and Hank Thompson.
[Gbm] Those were their favorites.
[B] _ One song they used to [E] sing [G] was,
_ Have I told _ you lately _ that [D] I love you? _ _ _
_ [B] When Dad passed away, they only sang one song, just, you [A] know, _ _
_ _ _ Have I told _ _ you lately _ [Ab] that [E] I love you? _ _ _ _ _
Shall I tell _ you _ once [Gb]
[Ab] again?
[A] _ [E] Somehow, we were [A] meant to be together. _
I'm his singer.
_ [G] _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ _ _ [Gbm] _ _
If [B] not for
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ you. _ _
