Capo 3rd fret
W[G]e call it mela[C]ncholy when we're[G] lonely
They say we're transid[C]ental when we're h[D]igh
And a[C]ny time spent su[D]fferin' we c[G]all it p[G/F#]erserve[Em]rane
So [C]we can make excuses when we [D]lie.
Well [G]I don't claim to u[C]nderstand the me[G]aning of the world,
Or the rhyme or re[C]ason of the s[D]ong
But I k[C]now my mama l[D]oves me and my o[G]ld dog [G/F#]went to H[Em]eaven
And when ra[C]dio plays Hank I sing al[D]ong.
- Well I[C]'m a baptised follower of J[G]esus,
And I[C]'ll admit that I've been led as[G]tray
And I l[C]ive out on the highway between i[G]nsa[G/F#]nity and T[Em]exas
And h[C]ome is just a phone call a[D]way
And I know everything's gonna be o[G]k. -
Well I've n[G]ever been good at u[C]nderstadin' w[G]omen
So I guess I've just been l[C]ucky with the g[D]irls.
And if br[C]illiant men are r[D]oses, then I'm j[G]ust a f[G/F#]ield of d[Em]aisies
And I've traded in the Mozarts for the Me[D]rles.
I be[G]lieve in happ[C]iness and fr[G]eedom,
And brisket that's been h[C]ardwood smoked for d[D]ays.
And I've w[C]orn my cowboy b[D]oots all through the ha[G]llowed h[G/F#]alls of Co[Em]ngress
And su[C]nlight always filters through the h[D]aze.
