Start Jamming...
I was in Stafford Texas last night with the legend Mickey Gilliam.
We've known each other since Moby Dick was a minnow.
And [B] I always took, well my grandmother was [D] alive.
[D#]
I used to [G] play some songs for some of the [F] residents there.
[G] Yesterday was no exception.
I went to the retirement center in Stafford, [Gm] Texas.
Took [G] my guitar with me and there was four women sitting on a bench up there by the [N] pond.
Pond!
And when I got through singing for them, they were kind of staring at me kind of like you are right now.
And I looked at this one lady and I said,
[G] Excuse me dear, [Bm] but do you know who I am?
[G] She said, oh no, but [F#] if you stop by the front desk on the way out, they can tell you.
Because I [G] have been [N] here all the time.
I kissed her on the cheek.
[A#]
[G] She took her teeth out and kissed me on the cheek.
We did some jello shooters and played bingo all afternoon.
That was hell.
[N] [B] Here's a song for looking for [E] love records.
[G] Them old hard times are a dime a dozen.
Girl, what would you have done if it [C] wasn't for me?
[G]
[C] [D]
[G] Sometimes it seems the world is in trouble.
[Em] When all I was born to stumble [G] and search for [D] something.
[Em]
I never [Am] will find.
[G]
[F#] [G] I think you love the bits and pieces.
[Em] Coming to you only when it [G] eases that lonely [D] feeling.
[Em]
All it gets [Am] from that.
When [D] you treat me so kind,
[Em] Those hard times come a dime a dozen.
[G] [D] Girls [Em] with your kind of love,
[C] The one in a million,
They're so hard [D] to [Am] find.
[D]
[Em] Hard times come a dime a dozen.
[G] [Bm] Girls [Em] with your kind of love,
[C] The one in a million.
Think of them.
I'm lucky [D] you're mine.
[C] [D]
[Am] [G] I know your friends don't think much of [Em] me.
They say they're fooled to love [G] me.
But girl, I know
[Em]
They'll never turn you [Am] around.
[G]
You're bound to love your hard love for me.
[C] If I let you down,
You don't show [G] that you know it don't [D] matter.
[Em]
They can't touch [Am] for the crown.
When [D] the sun goes down and [Em] close,
Hard times come a dime a dozen.
[G] [D] Girls [G] with your kind of loving,
[C] The one in a million,
They're so hard [D] to [G] [D] find.
[Em] When those hard times come a dime a dozen.
[G] [Bm] Girls [Em] with your kind of loving,
[C] The one in a million.
I'm lucky [D] you're mine.
[Em] When those hard times come a dime a dozen.
[G] [D] Girls [Em] with your kind of loving,
[C] The one in a million.
So hard [D] to [C] find.
[D]
[C] When those hard times come a dime a dozen.
[G] [Bm] Girls [Em] with your kind of loving,
[C] The one in a million.
I'm [G] lucky [D] you're mine.
[G]
[C]
[G]
[C] [D]
[G] Oh honey, the one in a million.
