Merle Haggard

^G I'd love to hear a ^D7 jukebox ^G play
I love you a ^C thousand ^G ways
Or if ^C you've got the ^G money, I've got the ^D7 time
I'd walk a ^G mile for ^D7 Mom and ^G Dad
And the good times ^C that we ^G had
Look what ^C thoughts will do
When you ^G sing old ^D7 pal of ^G mine.
CHORUS
But the ^D7 old, old man is gone
There'll be ^C no more Lefty ^G songs
How ^C much he meant to ^G me, nobody ^D7 knows
The long black ^G veil that ^D7 Alice ^G wore
Like words he sang some ^C years be- ^G fore
^C she loved him, too ^G ...
^D7 That's the way love ^G goes.
CHORUS
