George Jones - Brown to blue

^AWe stood there in the courthouse room so ^Dclose yet far apart, ^E7You had brought your lawyer and I'd ^Abrought a broken heart, The judge pronounced the words the way you ^Dwanted him to do, And ^E7changed your name from Brown to Jones, And mine from Brown to ^ABlue. ^A7

I ^Dcouldn't keep my tears from falling, ^AOn the courtroom floor, ^A7 By ^Dlaw, they took away my rights, To ^Alove you any- ^E7more, My ^Aworld just seemed to stop, While I stood ^Dthere so close to you, They ^E7changed your name from Brown to Jones, And mine from Brown to ^ABlue.

^AThe judge forgot to tell me how I'd ^Dlive my life alone, What ^E7I would do without you after ^Aloving you so long, He didn't seem to care that I am ^Dstill in love with you, He ^E7changed your name from Brown to Jones, And mine from Brown to ^ABlue. ^A7

I ^Dcouldn't keep my tears from falling, ^AOn the courtroom floor, ^A7 By ^Dlaw, they took away my rights, To ^Alove you any- ^E7more, My ^Aworld just seemed to stop, While I stood ^Dthere so close to you, They ^E7changed your name from Brown to Jones, And mine from Brown to ^ABlue.
