Chords for Jerry Lee Lewis - Things That Matter Most

_ _ _ _ I would like to _ _ say_
That's a guaranteed fact. _ _ _
_ I want all my friends to listen to this song real close,
because this is really Jerry Lee Lewis.
I hope you enjoy it.
And my feelings about life is about like my double first cousin,
Jimilee Swaggart.
We think alike, we went separate ways,
but you can't beat him, he's fine people.
I hope [G] you enjoy this song. _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ [G] You know there are many precious memories
that Jerry Lee would love to [C] recall.
_ And there are some things I'd like to forget.
[Am] _ [G] _ _ I've been up, Lord, I've been down,
_ [D] [Am] sometimes just in between.
[D] _ _
But you know [G] something, neighbors?
_ _ Jerry Lee Lewis hasn't reached his highest [C] mountain yet.
_ _ I know God's blessed [G] me _ time [D] and time and time again.
[G] _ These blessings far exceed my woe.
I've had the help of loved ones, just like you folks.
_ And many [C] friends, many friends who stood by me. _
_ [Am] [G] And without their faith,
old Jerry Lee would have given up, I guess,
27 [D] years ago.
_ [Am] _ [D] Professionally.
[Em] _ [D] _
[G] But I remember my boyhood days back in old fair [B] day Louisiana.
[C] _
Them long hot summers.
[Bm] [Am] That [G] good old cool Louisiana rain.
[D] _ _ _ [G] You know sometimes I wish I could just
go back and be mama's little [C] boy again. _
Henry lived yesterday.
[Am] _ [G] _ But mama's not here now.
_ [A] But I just love,
I'd give five million [D] dollars if I had it
and I don't have nothing like that,
just to talk five minutes [Em] with my [D] mother.
[G] Of course, she could straighten Jerry Lee Lewis out in an instant.
_ I [C] even got my daughter with me tonight here.
Hey Phoebe, would you stand up and say goodbye darling?
[G] _ [Am] _ [G] _ _
_ [D] I know when I stumble,
[G] I sometimes fall, but then I,
I [F#] remember,
[G] _ _ I'll never never walk alone.
_ _ [C] I guess you could say these are the things that matter most to Rocky Jerry Lee.
[Am] _ [G] _ _ Precious memories _
from your [D] friends.
_ [Am] [D] They called me the killer.
[Em]
[D] The only thing I've [G] ever killed in my life,
_ possibly was myself.
[B] _
[C] _ But I'm here and I thank God for it
[Bm] and I love you and [Am] I need you and I [G] couldn't do it without you.
God bless each and every one of [D] you.
