Chords for Leona Williams sings "You Take Me For Granted" on Country's Family Reunion

Why don't you escort Miss Leona Williams up to do her song.
I'll be glad to.
Good job, Chief.
By the way, she's been telling me.
Hope I'm not gonna get in trouble for asking her this.
She's been telling me all the time.
And I'm sure it's not the first time she's been asked this.
You mentioned the great song that Merle had the big hit on
that Leona wrote called You Take Me for Granted.
And _ I guess I just wanna ask Leona if she really,
did you [C] write that?
Were you trying to send Merle a message
when you wrote this [B] song?
Some of those things you [Bm] just had to write.
Some things you just had [B] to write.
Just had to write.
That's one [Gbm] of them.
At the time, [B] I'd been on a long trip,
about 14 days or so,
and it was like everybody was too busy to hardly speak.
You do everything you can and they don't appreciate it.
So you have to write something down.
I don't know how to explain that.
I was just gonna say, she's been telling me,
told me all day yesterday and all day today,
she is so thrilled to be here today.
Yes, I am.
Well, we're thrilled to have you.
Yeah, [C] you are.
You are a legend.
[Eb] I'm happy to be here.
Thank you for asking me.
You're very welcome.
Thanks for coming.
Like I said, you're one of the coolest ones.
How about getting up there and sing us one? All right.
You know something else, T?
Leona has got a son, Ron Williams. I know.
Who is a terrific, terrific singer.
I know, we've been doing some shows
when Ron gets up there and sing, Ron's great.
Yeah, he really is.
He learned from a good one. _
_ Mama teach him everything he knows.
Well, I tried my best and I always tell him
he's my big, tall, handsome, good looking singer
and all that stuff.
Son. _
Good singing son, whatever.
But here's that song I [D] wrote.
_ Johnny Russell used to say,
it made me a lot of money and I spent it.
Goes like this. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[E] _ _ [D] My [E] legs and my feet
[D] have walked
till [E] they can't [G] hardly move
from trying [D] to please [G] you. _
[D] _ [D] And my back [A] is sore
[D] from bending over backwards
[E] to just like the world at [A] your door. _ _
_ [D] And I'm [E] trying hard
to [D] keep a smile on a sad face
[G] while deep down it's breaking [D] my heart. _ _
[Gb] _ [G] And as sure as the sun shines
[D] I'll be [G] a lifetime
[D] not knowing [A] if I've done [D] my part. _ _
_ [A] Cause you _ take [D] me for granted _ _
_ [A] and it's breaking [D] my _ _ _ heart.
And as sure as the sun shines
[G] I'll be a lifetime
[D] not knowing [A] if I've done [D] my part. _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [A] Cause you _ take me [D] for granted _ _
_ [A] and _ it's breaking [D] my heart.
[Bm] _
_ [D] And as sure as the sun shines
[G] I'll [Bm] be a lifetime
[D] not knowing [A] if I've done.
[D] _ _ _ _
_ Not knowing [A] if I've done.
[D] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _
