Merle Haggard -- Turnin' Off A Memory chords
Start Jamming...
Let me tell you about a song that I wrote especially for my [D] friends with drinking problems
Or maybe I should say my friends with problems enough to drink
Anyway, it's just an old theme of a man sitting in a bar room trying to drown his past and it's called
I'm turning off a memory
[A]
[D]
You can find me [G] in a dim light
[D] It bar room if your coldness should turn [A] warm
But [D] the chances [G] of you ever [D] changing
Are as slim as [A] your two [D] loving arms [A] So [D] I'm
[G] turning off [D] a memory
As quickly [E] as time [A] will allow
[Bm] [Db] [D] I'm [G] turning off [D] a memory
And the wine seems to [A] help me [D] somehow
If I'm lucky [G] I'll someday [D] forget you
When the wine finally takes full [A] control
[Em] [A] It's [D] not much [G] of a future [D] to look to
But I can't stand [A] this pain in [D] my soul
[Bb]
[Cm] So [Bb] [Eb] I'm [Ab] turning off [Eb] a memory
As quickly [F] as time [Bb] will allow
[Ab] [D] [Eb] I'm turning [Ab]
off [Eb] a memory
And the wine seems [Bb] to help me [Eb] somehow
And the wine seems [Bb] to help me [B] somehow
[Ab] [Eb] [Bb] [Eb]
