Gretchen Peters - The night you wrote that song

Ah ^Gthe rednecks are drawin’ their lines down in East Tenness^Amee ^{Am Am Am} Their c^Dannons are primed and they’re fit to be tied I be^Glieve^{G G G G} And the ^Gman in the grey flannel suit does not walk on the ^Amstreet^{Am Am Am} Say does^D anyone know what became of the old^G Opr^Cy ^{G C}

^CNow the ^Gcowboys have taken an axe to the old hangin’ t^Amree ^{Am Am Am} They’ve ^Dtraded their guns for a guitar and two bags of ^Gweed^{G G G G}And they’ll swear in a slow Texas drawl all the killin’ is d^Amone ^{Am Am Am} I beli^Deve them by God but I’m keepin’ my back to the ^Gsun ^{G G}

^GTomorrow is ^Amout of sight ^D Yesterdays ^Gdead and gone ^Em You never k^Amnew how right You ^A7were the night you ^Dwrote that song ^{D D D}

Well the ^Gtruck drivin’ man makes his stops where the coffee is f^Amree ^{Am Am Am} El P^Daso this morning, tonight it will be Tenness^Gee ^{D G C C}And he spends all his miles on the dials of a poppin’ C-^AmB ^{Am Am Am} Say does ^Danyone know what became of old Ralph Eme^Gry ^{G G}

^GTomorrow is ^Amout of sight ^D Yesterdays ^Gdead and gone ^Em You never ^Amknew how right You ^A7were the night you ^Dwrote that song ^{C Bm Am}

^GYesterday’s newspaper forecast no rain for tod^Amay ^{Am Am Am} Ah but ^Dyesterday’s news is old news – the skies are all ^Ggray ^{C G G G}But the East Texas hills are alive with the children in s^Ampring ^{Am Am Am} Say does ^Danyone know what became of my sweet Ang^Geline ^{G G}

^GTomorrow is ^Amout of sight ^D Yesterdays ^Gdead and gone ^Em You never ^Amknew how right You ^A7were the night you ^Dwrote that song ^{D D D}
