And now here's a Skeeter Davis classic called I Forgot More Than You'll [A] Ever Know.
[D] I've forgotten [G] more [D] than you'll [A] ever know [D] about him.
[A]
[D] [A] You know [D] the smile [A] on his lips, the thrill at the touch of his [D] fingertips.
But I've [G] forgotten more [D] than [A] you'll ever know [D] about him.
[A] [D] You think you've found a heaven of bliss in each caress, each [D] tender kiss.
[Em] But I've [G] forgotten more [D] than you'll ever [A] know [D] about him.
You [G] stopped on me,
[D]
didn't care how you hurt me.
[E] But you can never steal away
[A] memories of one so deep.
[C#] [D] You think [A] he's [D] yours to have and [A] to hold.
Someday you'll win.
When it [D] was told that [Em] I'd [G] forgotten [D] more than you'll [A] ever know about [Em] him.
[D] Beautiful songs.
Skeeter, when did you record that?
That was in 1953, and the first record for RCA.
[C#] And it's hard for me to even believe that it has been that long ago.
[C#] And I was real, real thrilled because Bob Dylan, I met him one time and he said,
I'm going to do a song that you recorded, one of your songs.
And a lot of times people tell you that, you know, when you meet them and you don't,
you think they're being nice.
But right after that, he put it in an album of his.
And I was in England singing it one time on a television show as one of my hits.
And some of these kids came up later and said, hey, you said that was your hit.
That's not yours.
That's Dylan's song.
I said, no, that ain't Dylan's song.
That's my song.
And I told him the story how I met him and how he recorded it.
So it makes me real
