1. Pretty Girl From Matthews
Tuning: EADGBE
Tabbed By: davidw_home
GHold on a minute it ain't Ctime to leave
Tell me how you're feeling one more Gtime.
GFour long years and I justC can't believe
That I'm still yours and your still Gmine.
While I was gone, yes, I Cfell in love
Asked around and heard that you did Gtoo
Two drunken years and push Ccame to shove
I met love, love left me Gblue
BmYou're Crising like a Gsun
BmThat pulled the Ccurtain on the Gnight
DComing through theC window
To Gbrighten Amup my lCife G
And I'm all right, yeah, I think I'm fine
My savior lives in telephones
And I just dream of you and step outside
Dial up and hope that you're home
You're rising like a sun
That waits up all night
Coming through the window
To brighten up my life
Hold on a minute, yeah, I do love you
Sometimes I guess that ain't enough
When you come round you put me through
And I thank you, oh, so much
Another year, maybe, three or four
Maybe five or six or even more
You'll find another man to take my place
And I'll see you on the good Lord's shores
You're rising like a sun
That pulled the curtain on the night
Coming through the window
To brighten up my life

4. November Blue
Tuning: EADGBE
Tabbed By: DevBear
C | G |Am G F G | C Em7 |
*| - indicates 4 beats
CIf I weren't Gleavin', Amwould GI Fcatch Gyou Cdreamin'Em7
And if I weren't gonna be gone now, could I take you home
And if I told you I love you, would it change what you see
And if I was staying, would you stay with me
And if I had money, would it all look good
And if I had a job now, like a good man should
And if I came to you tomorrow, and said let's run away
Would you roll like the wind does, baby would you stay
My heart is dancin', to a November tune
And I hope that you hear it, singing songs about you
And I sing songs of sorrow, because you're not around
See, babe I'm gone tomorrow, Baby follow me down
I don't know why I have to, but this man must move on
I love my time here, didn't know 'til I was gone
November shadows, shade November change
November spells sweet memory, the season blue remains
(Slow Tempo)
November spells sweet memory, the season blue remains
Your yellow hair is like the sunlight, however sweet it shines
Bit by the cold of December, I'm warm beside your smile
(Resume Tempo)
Oh lady tell me I'm not leaving, you're everything I dream
I'm killing myself thinking, I've fallen like the leaves
I'm killing myself thinking, I've fallen like the leaves
(Slow Tempo and end on C)

G C G C G C D
GIn time, won't be long
Cuntil we meet again, except we just be friends
Gmy god yeah I know
Cthat's just the way it goes out here on the road
besDide the Cyellow Gline
'Bout five years ago,
I came about this way, but I doubt they'll know my face
The land hasn't changed
The stars still pierce the black, and I'm glad that I came back
Beside the yellow line
The mind of a girl,
It's hard to understand, but I guess 'cause I'm a man
Her heart fears are unknown,
Until I am gone, gotta leave her all alone
Beside the yellow line
And the call of the road,
Unlike the railroad tracks, unlike the airplane path
Her voice floats, through the land
and it takes me by the hand, so once again I stand
Beside the yellow line
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. Old Wyom
Tuning: EADGBE
Tabbed By: Skylar25
AWell I dreamed of how our life would be, oh yeah
ELovin' and a-kissin' 'neath an old oak tree, uh huh
I'd be sBminging you aC#m song that wasEbm twenty lines Dlong
and Acatching sweet Ekisses you blow way out in AWyom
I work my day to come home to you, oh yeah
So you can do whatever you wanna do, uh huh
With your big brown eyes and your curly brown hair,
I'm doing the best I can do just to try to not stare
My GEod, your DlovelinAess
Gotta feelin your man he won't like the news, oh no
Ain't gonna like it when he has to choose, oh no
With you could be one and never be apart (?)
I can feel it in my mind I can feel it in my soul in my heart
Oh Bmbaby pDlease come Aaround
Was that your man he's your fiancé, oh yeah
The one to tie the knot each and every day uh huh
I gotta get up the nerve to pick up the phone
It's you sweet mama I'm-a gonna carry you back home!
Way Eout to oDld AWyom
I prob'ly shoulda thought about lettin' you know, uh huh
If I love you like I do I shoulda told you so, uh huh
Well I think about you each and every day,
It's just my knees are gettin' weak when I try to say
Oh bBmaby, pDlease be Amine
Gotta feelin' that I'm barkin' up and empty tree
How could someone so beautiful think about me?
Put my tail between my legs and turn my back
Try on my trusty ramblin' sack
I'm Eoff to Dold WAyom

8. Closing Night
Tuning: EADGBE
Tabbed By: Macheeoo
Intro Chords:
C Am F G x1
TheC show was Amover it's Gall in the Cname
ItC never was bAmefore but Gthis ain't the Csame
So Ctry to iAmmagine a tGime and a Cplace
Where the Cenemy Amwon and the FheroG was Cslain
And poetic justice burns in the minds
Of five diying soldiers on the front lines
With nobody's singing in nobody's ears
No one's disappointed, nobody hears
I know a lady, promise her name
The price of her visit suffering and pain
And we gladly waited and we gladly paid
We watched the sun rise, she never came
An electric current moves us around
We sank to our knees to worship the sound
But nobody told us that we'd rise again
Imagine a hero unable to win
Imagine a hero unable to win
