Start Jamming...
Thank you very much ladies and gentlemen, God bless you.
We'd like to kind of slow things down a little bit, do a real pretty song for [D] you.
Don't look so [Em] sad
[A]
Mama, I know [D] it's over
But life [Em] goes on
[A] This old world keeps on [D] turning
Let's [G] just be glad
We [A] had a little time
To [D] spend together
[B] [A] Oh, [G] there'll be time enough
[Em] For sadness
When you [A] leave me
[A] Just [F#m] to lay you [D] here
Up on my [A] pillow
Hold your warm
Good looking body
[D] Close to mine
[G] [F#m]
Hear the [D] whisper of the raindrops
[E] My God, [G] they're falling soft
On old [Gm] Jerry's window
[G] [A] Honey, just make believe [Em] you love me
One [A] more time
[A]
For [D] the good time
[G]
[D]
I'll get along
[Em]
[A] I'm sure you'll find yourself another
But honey, [Em] just keep on trying
Old old Jerry Lee ain't gonna be left here [D] behind
[F#m] Just [G] think of all
The [A] good times we had for [D] each other
You [G] just keep burning all those [Em] bridges
[E] My God, [A] I'm dying
Just to lay you [D]
here
Up on my pillow
Hold your warm
[Em] And tender [A] body
Close [D] to mine
[G] Hear [D] the whisper
Of [D]
[F#] [G] the rain falling soft
Against [Gm] my window
[E] Girl, [A] you better make believe
[Em] You love me
[A] One more time
For [D] the good time
[G]
For [A] [D] the good time
[N]
[G#] [N]
I've got a pretty good record
I sold a few million on it
Hope you enjoy it
[A] Ladies and gentlemen
[F#]
We're [A] just going through the motions
[C#]
[D] Of old parts we've learned to play
[E] We're never quite together [A] like before
But [B] [F#m]
[A] somehow, darling
Something good [D] got lost along the way
[E] And our song ain't nothing special
[A] anymore
[D] We ought to try just [A] one more time with me
And [D] darling, take it, take it from the top
Let me [E] feel those tears of falling
I don't want to miss a one, a single [A] drop
Darling, make believe
[A] You're making [C#] me [D] believe
These words you say
Try [E] it once more with feeling
And we'll call it [A] a day
[D] Yes, we [E] will, darling
[A] I
[C]
[Am] [C]
was busted flat in Baton Rouge
I was waiting for a train
Feeling elevated as my [D] dream
[G]
Bobby thought me to slow down
It was beginning to rain
Somewhere close to Jimilee
So I could go to [C] New Orleans
Well, I pulled my harpoon
Out of my dirty red bandana
I was blowing sad while Bobby [F] sang the blues
With them windshield wipers slapping time
[C] Bobby clapping hands
He finally [G] sang off
Every song that driver [C]
knew
Yeah, I'm telling you
[F] Freedom is just another clue
[G] Nothing ain't worth nothing
But it's [Am] free
[C]
[F] Feeling good was easy, Lord
[C]
[G] But it was good enough for me
Good enough for me and old Jerry Lee said
[C]
Yeah, [G] Lord
[G#] [D]
[A] Chris, this is one of the greatest songs you've ever written
[D] Nobody sang it any better, [G] huh?
Just take [E] the ribbons from your [D] hair
[F#] Shake it loose, [G] lady, let it fall
Lay it soft on [A] killer skin
[E]
[A] Like the shadows [D] on the wall
Come and lay down by my side
Till the early [G] morning light
All I'm taking [A] is your time
Help me make [D] it through the night
[G]
I [E] don't care what's right or wrong
Never tried to [D]
understand
You'd let the devil take us to our [E] own
Right now, a killer needs [A] a friend
Yesterday, [D] you didn't come
Tomorrow's out of sight
Thank God for that, too
Anyway, son, [A] we ain't gonna be alone
Why don't you help us make it through [D] the [G] night?
[D]
[Bm] [A]
Yeah, let me make it through the [D] night
[A] [D]
[N]
