Mike Denver, Country Medley (2018)
Key: :[D] (BPM: 110)
## Kenny Rogers, Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town, 1969 ##
VERSE 1:
[D open] You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted
[A] hair
[Em] [D] Ruby, are you contemplating
[G] going out some-
[A]-where
The
[Em] shadow on the wall tells me, the
[D] sun is
[A] going down
[Em] Oh,
[D] Ru-
[G]-by,
[/F#] [Em] [N.C.] don't take your love to
[D] town
VERSE 2:
It
[Em] wasn't me that started that old
[D] crazy Asian war
But
[Em] I was proud to go and do my
[G] patriotic
[A] chore
And
[Em] yes, it's true that I am not the
[D] man I used to
[A] be
[Em] Oh,
[D] Ru-
[G]-by,
[/F#] [Em] [N.C.] I still need some company
[D]
## Willie Nelson, On The Road Again, 1980 ##
VERSE 1:
[E] On the road again, just can't wait to get on the
[G#m] road again
I find love is making
[F#m] music with my friends
And
[A] I can't wait to get
[B] on the road
[E] again
VERSE 2:
[E] On the road again, going places that I've
[G#m] never been
Seeing things that I may
[F#m] never see again
And
[A] I can't wait to get
[B] on the road
[E] again
BRIDGE:
[E] On the
[A] road again, like a band of gypsies we go down
[E] highway
We're the
[A] best of friends, insisting that the world keep turning
[E] our way
And
[B] our way is...
VERSE 3:
[E] On the road again, just can't wait to get on the
[G#m] road again
I find love is making
[F#m] music with my friends
And
[A] I can't wait to get
[B] on the road
[E] again
## Waylon Jennings, Good Hearted Woman, 1972 ##
VERSE 1:
A
[F#] long time forgotten, are dreams that just fell by the
[B] way
The
[C#7] good life he promised, ain't what she's living to-
[F#]-day
But she
[F#] never complains of the bad times, or bad things he's
[B] done, Lord
She just
[C#7] talks about the good times they've had, and all the good times to
[F#] come
CHORUS 1:
She's a
[F#] good-hearted woman, in love with a good timin'
[B] man
She
[C#7] loves him in spite of his ways, that she don't under-
[F#]-stand
Through
[F#] teardrops and laughter, they'll pass through this world hand in
[B] hand
A
[C#7] good-hearted woman, loving her good timin'
[F#] man
OUTRO:
A
[C#7] good-hearted woman, loving her good timin'
[F#] man
