I'VE HAD A BEAUTIFUL TIME Merle Haggard 81-195

^AWe met downtown in a barroom, Both of us needin’ ^E7a friend,

You brought me home to your doorstep,

It was there you invited me ^Ain, ^AWe spent the wee hours dancing, To your favorite home stereo ^E7sounds,

We talked about what we been needin',

Discussin' our ups and our ^Adowns, ^AAnd I've had a beautiful time, Holding your heart next to ^E7mine,

I poured out my feelin’s while you poured the wine,

And I've had a beautiful ^Atime. (LEAD)

^AIf I seem a wee bit uneasy, You really sized me up ^E7right,

There's somebody home still up waitin’,

She probably been waitin’ up al^Al night. ^AI can't say I found any answers, But you listened while I rattled ^E7on,

And you’ve been beautiful lady,

And you kept me from bein??^A? alone.

^AAnd I've had a beautiful time, Holding your body next to ^E7mine,

You poured out your feelin’s and I poured the wine,

And I've had a beautiful ^Atime.

^AI've had a beautiful time, Holding your heart next to ^E7mine,

We poured out our feelin’s, then we poured the wine,

And I've had a beautiful ^Atime. ^E7You poured out your feelin’s while we poured the wine, And I've had a beautiful ^Atime.
