I pulled lyrics straight from CowboyLyrics.com and I'm pretty sure they're wrong in a
few spots, but I left em as is.
There are 2 or 3 guitars, I only got 1. Get creative to fill in the rest, that's what
music is all about.
He finger picks these chords; he uses the very common walk down from C to Am almost
every time, it's easy to hear.
Standard Tuning; Felker has a high voice so they capo almost everything, but I don't
have one with me right now. Capo it to match your vocal range. Corrections to the chords
are welcome.
Intro is first half of verse, then second half of chorus.
C UndeAmrcover
And Fblame it on the Cseason
It Cain't no kinda Amreason baby
FWhy come and Ggo
Had a CLover Am
She Ffelt as good as Ctrees
And you can Cask her if its Ampleasing
You can Fask the wind to Cblow
[Chorus]
And I would Gbuy for you a diamond
Or myFself some gasoCline
If I Gcan't afford you darling
Then I Fcan't afford to Cdream
And is it Ftime I should be Cmoving
Is it Ftime I settle Amdown
Will CI sit still or Amwill I feel the Fwheels a spinning Cround
Well I ain't the brightest
Bird that ever flew
I'm just someone you knew
A road you travelled on
All the colors
They shine and fade away
Well they're just like News Years Day
They're here and then they're gone
[Chorus]
And I would buy for you a diamond
Or myself some gasoline
If I can't afford you darling
Then I can't afford to dream
And is it time I should be moving
Is it time I settle down
Will I sit still or will I feel the wheels a spinning round
(Instrumental; Same as Chorus)
Lord I love you
I wish you only knew
Well I wish you had a clue
I wish you had a clue you know
But I'm stuck here in Tulsa
With my Oklahoma blues
With a pair of concrete shoes
That got me sinking pretty low
[Chorus]
And I would buy for you a diamond
Or myself some gasoline
If I can't afford you darling
Then I can't afford to dream
And is it time I should be moving
Is it time I settle down
Will I sit still or will I feel the wheels a spinning round
The wheels a spinning round
The wheels
A spinning
