Thanks everybody, just what a treat.
Well we're going to open up with the only duet that we know.
[E]
This is called No Lonesome Tune.
[B] [E]
[B] [E]
I ain't gonna sing no lonesome tune,
Oh babe I'm a-comin' soon.
[B] I cannot believe I stayed so long away,
But a man must look around,
You're the sweetest thing I've found,
[B] You lost our rollers rollin' [E] home today.
Oh my daddy said to me,
Son it's hard as you will see,
[B] To find someone upon whom [E] to rely.
And in the kitchen mama sneezed,
And he grinned big as you please,
[B] Said bless you and a tear [E] come to his eye.
[B] [E]
[B] [E]
I did decide that very day,
That I'd like to live that way,
[B] Oh now I know I've just [E] been wasting time.
It's with you that I should be,
And if you feel the same about me,
[B] I'm headed home [E] along the straightest line.
I ain't gonna sing no lonesome tune,
Oh babe I'm a-comin' soon.
I cannot believe I stayed [E] so long away,
But a man must look around,
You're the sweetest thing I've found,
[B] You lost our rollers [E] rollin' home today.
Speak it guy!
[B] [E]
[B] [E]
I ain't gonna sing no lonesome tune,
Oh babe I'm a-comin' soon.
[B] I cannot believe I stayed [E] so long away,
But a man must look around,
You're the sweetest thing I've found,
[B] You lost our [E] rollers rollin' home today.
