Pretty Girl From Matthews    Tuning: EADGBE Tabbed By: davidw_home Hold on a minute it ain’t time to leave Tell me how you’re feeling one more time. Four long years and I just can’t believe That I’m still yours and your still mine. While I was gone yes I fell in love Asked around and heard that you did too Two drunken years and push came to shove I met love love left me blue You’re rising like a sun That pulled the curtain on the night Coming through the window To brighten up my life      And I’m all right yeah I think I’m fine My savior lives in telephones        And I just dream of you and step outside Dial up and hope that you’re home    You’re rising like a sun That waits up all night              Coming through the window   To brighten up my life    Hold on a minute yeah I do love you Sometimes I guess that ain’t enough When you come round you put me through And I thank you oh so much Another year maybe three or four Maybe five or six or even more       You’ll find another man to take my place And I’ll see you on the good Lord’s shores You’re rising like a sun That pulled the curtain on the night Coming through the window   To brighten up my life    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.

November Blue    Tuning: EADGBE Tabbed By: DevBear | | | | *| - indicates 4 beats If I weren’t leavin’ would I catch you dreamin’ And if I weren’t gonna be gone now could I take you home And if I told you I love you would it change what you see And if I was staying would you stay with me And if I had money would it all look good And if I had a job now like a good man should And if I came to you tomorrow and said let’s run away Would you roll like the wind does baby would you stay My heart is dancin’ to a November tune And I hope that you hear it singing songs about you And I sing songs of sorrow because you’re not around See babe I’m gone tomorrow Baby follow me down I don’t know why I have to but this man must move on I love my time here didn’t know ’til I was gone November shadows shade November change November spells sweet memory the season blue remains                                (Slow Tempo) November spells sweet memory the season blue remains Your yellow hair is like the sunlight however sweet it shines Bit by the cold of December I’m warm beside your smile (Resume Tempo) Oh lady tell me I’m not leaving you’re everything I dream I’m killing myself thinking I’ve fallen like the leaves I’m killing myself thinking I’ve fallen like the leaves (Slow Tempo and end on C)            ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. My Losing Bet    Tuning: EADGBE Tabbed By: Skylar25 I waited for you a hard thing to do knowin’ we’re through and no I know I don’t have to choose to welcome you back or push you away but wait we’re not there yet and though I’m losing the bet there’s still the sunset (Notes walking up string) I felt so surprise when she arrived wearing a smile smiles soon turn to tears out on her back pier after all the love how how’d I end here. oh lord oh lord...        ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. Beside the Yellow Line    Tuning: EADGBE Tabbed By: Skylar25 In time won’t be long until we meet again except we just be friends my god yeah I know that’s just the way it goes out here on the road beside the yellow line ’Bout five years ago             I came about this way but I doubt they’ll know my face   The land hasn’t changed              The stars still pierce the black and I’m glad that I came back Beside the yellow line The mind of a girl It’s hard to understand but I guess ’cause I’m a man Her heart fears are unknown Until I am gone gotta leave her all alone Beside the yellow line And the call of the road         Unlike the railroad tracks unlike the airplane path      Her voice floats through the land   and it takes me by the hand so once again I stand           Beside the yellow line ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. Old Wyom    Tuning: EADGBE Tabbed By: Skylar25 Well I dreamed of how our life would be oh yeah Lovin’ and a-kissin’ ’neath an old oak tree uh huh I’d be singing you a song that was twenty lines long and catching sweet kisses you blow way out in Wyom I work my day to come home to you oh yeah So you can do whatever you wanna do uh huh With your big brown eyes and your curly brown hair I’m doing the best I can do just to try to not stare My God your loveliness Gotta feelin your man he won’t like the news oh no Ain’t gonna like it when he has to choose oh no With you could be one and never be apart (?)

Closing Night    Tuning: EADGBE Tabbed By: Macheeoo Intro Chords:               x1 The show was over it’s all in the name It never was before but this ain’t the same So try to imagine a time and a place Where the enemy won and the hero was slain And poetic justice burns in the minds Of five diying soldiers on the front lines With nobody’s singing in nobody’s ears           No one’s disappointed nobody hears            I know a lady promise her name    The price of her visit suffering and pain And we gladly waited and we gladly paid We watched the sun rise she never came An electric current moves us around We sank to our knees to worship the sound                 But nobody told us that we’d rise again Imagine a hero unable to win                                 Imagine a hero unable to win
