Chords for Tammy Wynette-Tammy With George

_ Well, she's came to you and_
Oh, I see!
My mama!
Yeah, what's your name?
Tammy Wynette.
Well, let's bring her over.
Okay.
[G] _ _ _ [B] _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] Oh, thank [G] you.
You _ _ _ _ know, they told [N] me when I got out here to tell some kind of story about _ the possum.
_ There's an awful lot of stories, I'm sure, that everybody's heard and told and retold about George,
but there's one in particular that I'd like to tell you on the lighter side tonight since Georgette was here with us.
The night that I went into labor to have Georgette, I was up at [B] midnight and George was asleep.
And I let him sleep_
Shut up, let me tell this.
I let him sleep until five o'clock in the morning and I finally got him up and I said,
You have to take me to the [Abm] hospital.
And he said, Where's my avocado green [N] pants?
I said, I don't know.
Find them.
He said, Where's my green and white shirt that I wear with it?
I don't know, George.
Find them.
Then he wants to know where his Gucci loafers are.
I don't know.
Go find them.
So we finally get in the car and we start to the hospital and he talks about all the orange groves and the grapefruits,
how they need picking.
And I thought he would fall completely apart at the seams.
He did write a plaque and had it on the head of the bed when I got back home from having Georgette.
And he had his picture, he had my picture on the left side, Georgette's picture in the center,
and his picture on the right side.
Under my picture it had, This house holds lots of old memories.
There are good ones and bad ones, I fear.
From now on there will only be good memories for my darling Tammy sleeps here.
Then under Georgette's picture he had, On October the 5th, 1970, Georgette has come.
When young love is in bloom and she's happy, I hope he loves her as I loved her mom.
Then under his he had, When my hair has turned to silver and affection no longer flows,
it is this I ask of you, Tammy, will you love me when I'm old?
So that's my story.
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
He said, I will love you till I die.
[D] _ [G] Till I die, [A] he calls, [B] he calls [C] her name.
_ [G] _ [C] _
I watched the years pass, [D] slowly by. _ _
And she still prayed [G] on his mind.
[D] _ [G] _
He kept her picture on his wall. _
And went half crazy, [C] never in my day. _
_ Ah, but he still loved her [D] through it all. _
And kept hoping she'd come [G] back again. _
_ [Eb] _ Found love letters [Ab] by his bed, _ _ dated [Cm] _ [Db] 1962. _
_ _ But he had [Eb] underlined and red.
_ _ _ Every single [Ab] I loved you.
_ _ I went to see my friend again.
_ _ And [Ab] I didn't [Db] see no tears.
_ And all dressed [Eb] up to go away.
_ First time I'd seen him [Ab] smiling here.
_ _ [Fm] He stopped [Cm] loving [Ab] her. _ _
_ They prayed for her.
[Db] _ _ _
_ _ Soon they'll [Eb] take him away.
_ _ He stopped loving [Ab] her today. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
You know she came back for the last time today.
_ [Db] _ _ [Ab]
[Db] Oh, and we all wondered if she would.
_ _ [Eb] _ _
And it kept running through my mind.
_ [Ab] This time, he's over her for good.
[Fm] He stopped [Cm] loving [Ab] her. _ _
_ They [C] placed a [Cm] ring [Db] upon his soul.
_ Soon they'll [Ab] carry [Eb] him. _ _
_ He stopped loving _ her [Ab] today. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
