You've written so many great songs, Roger.
Well, thank you.
You've sung so many great songs, Marilyn.
Oh, thank you.
I want to ask you a question.
Go ahead.
Why do you think your songs have not only been country hits, but also pop hits?
Well, unless it proves maybe that country fans and pop fans are basically the same, where it really counts.
Yeah.
Crazy idea.
[Gb] I think you're just going to have to [G] add me to that list then, because [F] I'm crazy about your [B] songs, too.
Oh, [N] that's great.
You know what I'd like to do?
What's that?
I'd love to sing some of your country gold with you.
You think we could?
Oh, I can't think of anything I'd rather do.
Oh, you mean that's better than swatting flies off your face with a two-by-four?
I wouldn't have said that.
I shouldn't [E] have said that.
Wouldn't have said that.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I'm here to say hi, [A] getting ideas.
Ain't nothing [E] but a fool to live like this.

[Eb] A woman sitting [Ab] home with a month-old child.
[E] Dang it.
[A] Dang it.
I'd take a rope [E] and hang it high from the highest [A] [B] tree.
Woman, [E] would you weep for me?
They say roses are red, [A] violets are purple, [B]
sugar's sweet [E] and so is maple syrup.
Now, he's the seventh [A] out of seven sons.
[Gb] His pappy was a pistol.
I'm the son [A] of a gun.
Well, [E] dang it.
[A] Dang it.
[B] I'd take a rope and [E] hang it high from the highest [B] tree.
Woman, would you [E] weep for me?
