"Think It Over One Time" by Robert Earl Keen
>From the Sugar Hill Records CD "Gringo Honeymoon"
Words and Music by Robert Earl Keen (Bug Music and Keen Edge Music)
No Capo, Standard Tuning
Inro Chords:
[E] [F#m] [A] [E]
Verse:
[E]You say you're clearing out, the d[F#m]evil's in your eyes
No time to walk, no time to talk,[A]
no time for long goodbyes.[E]
[E]The ticket's in your hand, you've ma[F#m]de that final call,
[A]The hard words flying by like punches in a barroom brawl.[E]
Chorus:
[C#m]We've made a mess of things, it makes [B]no difference now
[E]let's chalk it al[G#]l up to the bl[A]ues.
[E]Little girl, th[A]ink it over one time
[E]Little girl, th[A]ink it over one time
[E]Little [B]girl, think it [C#m]over one [B]time
Bef[F#m]ore yo[A]u break in your walking [E]shoes.
Verse 2, same chord progression
I am just what I am, I won't apologize
So if you go you'll surely know you'll have to come to realize
Love don't walk away, only people do
So if you go or if you stay you know I'll keep on loving you.
(chorus)
Verse 3, same chords:
We've made the hard time sing, we've made the miles roll by,
we've broken both our wings and still we've had the will to fly.
It ain't the memories, that make me talk this way,
it's more like someone pulled the plug before we ever saw the play.
(chorus)
Verse 4, same chords:
I've read a thousand books, I've been behind the wheel,
I've known you all my life but still I can't feel how you feel.
It's only you for me, just like that whooping crane,
who has one wife for all his life and if she dies, he'll do the same.
(chorus)
This is how the 4th ending of the chorus goes:
________ you brea[A]k in your [E]walking shoes.
Chords:
C#m-is the same shape as a Bm made at the 4th fret.
G#-slide the G chord, barred at the 3rd fret, up to the 4th fret.
that's it!!
