Alabama Clay Tom: D
D A Bm G D A AsusA
First time he saw the ground get busted he was ten and it was nineteen fifty two

The farm grew to be a money maker
G D A AsusA

G A D
So he slipped away one night beneath the harvest moon.

his neck was red as Alabama clay
Bm A
but the cities call pulled him away
G D
he's hot a factory job and runs a big machine
A D
he don't miss the farm or the fields of green.
D A Bm
Now the cities just a prison without fences.
G D A
His job is just a routine he can't stand
D A Bm
and at night he dreams of wide open spaces
G D A
fresh dirt beneath his toes and on his hands.
D A Bm
Then one day a picture came inside a letter
G D A
of a young girl with a baby in her arms.
D A Bm
And the words she wrote would change his life forever.
G A D
So he went to raise his family on the farm.
G D
his neck is red as Alabama Clay
Bm A
X2 now he's going home this time to stay
G D
where the roots run deep on the family tree
A D
and the tractor rolls through the fields of green.
G D
His neck is red......as Alabama clay.

The Beaches of Cheyenne Tom: G Intro: G F C G G D C
G D
They packed up all his buckles
Em C
And shipped his saddle to his dad
G Em
And by the way the house looked
Am D
She must have took it bad
G
The workers come on Monday
C
To fix the door and patch the wall
G D
They say she just went crazy
Em C
The night she got the call
G D
He was up in Wyoming
Em C
And drew a bull no man could ride
G Em
He promised her he'd turn out
Am D
Well it turned out that he lied
G
And all the dreams that they'd been livin'
C
In the california sand
Em D
Died right there beside him
C
In Cheyenne
CHORUS:
C G
They say she just went crazy
D G
Screamin' out his name
C G
She ran out into the ocean
Em C
And to this day they claim
G F
That if you go down by the water
C G
You'll see her footprints in the sand
'Cause every night she walks
D C
the beaches of Cheyenne
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK: REPEAT INTRO (G F C G G D C)
G D
They never found her body
Em C
Just her diary by the bed
G Em
It told about the fight they had
Am D
And the words that she had said
G
When he told her he was ridin'
C
She said then I don't give a damn
Em D C
If you never come back from Cheyenne
REPEAT CHORUS
C G
Nobody can explain it
D G
Some say she's still alive

They'd even claim they've seen her

On the shoreline late at night

C G
You'll see her footprints in the sand
'Cause every night she walks
D C
the beaches of Cheyenne

Standing Outside the Fire Tom: A Intro: A Asus4 A Asus4
A
We call them cool
Asus4 A
Those hearts that have no scars to show
C#m D
The ones that never do let go
Bm E E7 E6 E
And risk the tables being turned
A
We call them fools
Asus4 A
Who have to dance within the flame
C#m D
Who chance the sorrow and the shame
Bm E E7 E6 E
That always comes with getting burned
F#m E
But you got to be tough
D A
When consumed by desire
F#m E D E A Asus4 A Asus4
Cause its not enough just to stand outside the fire
A
We call them strong
Asus4 A
Those who can face this world alone
C#m D
Who seem to get by on their own
Bm E E7 E6 E
Those who will never take the fall
A
We call them weak
Asus4 A
Who are unable to resist
C#m D
The slightest chance love might exist
Bm E E7 E6 E
And for that forsake it all
F#m E
They're so hell bent on giving
D A
Walking a wire
F#m E D E A
Convinced it's not living when you stand outside the fire
D E A
Standing outside the fire
D E A
Standing outside the fire
F#m E A D
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
Bm E A
If you're standing outside the fire
D
There's this love that is burning

Deep in my soul
Bm A
Constantly yearning to get out of control
D
Wanting to fly
C#m
Higher and higher
Bm C#m D E NC
I can't abide standing outside... the fire

That Ol` Wind Tom: E Intro: E C#m A B7 E
E
She dropped her boy at school on time
C#m
One less worry on her mind
A E B
Now it's off to work and on the radio
E
Comes an old familiar song
C#m
And then the D.J.'s voice comes on
A B7 E
And says he's back in town tonight for one last show
E
Her eyes well up with tears
C#m
God could it be it's been ten years
A E B
Since that Autumn night outside the county fair
E
When two strangers shared a night
C#m
And in the darkness found a light
A B7 E
That to this day is still alive and burning there
C#m A B
He asked her twice to come along
C#m A B
They said good-bye at the break of dawn
E
'Cause you can't hold back the wind
C#m
If it's meant to be again
A B7 E
Then someday he'll find his way back to her arms
BREAK: A B E
E
The marquee misspelled his name
C#m
And not too many people came
A E B
But that didn't matter to them
E
They laughed and loved all through the night
C#m
And as they faced the morning light
A B7 E
They found themselves standing there again
C#m A B
And he asked her twice to come along
C#m A B
They said good-bye at the break of dawn
E
As his bus left out she cried
C#m
With him standing by her side
A B7 E
That ol' wind had once again found its way home
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK: E C#m A E B
E C#m A B7 E
C#m A E
Someday he'll tell her about the money he hid
C#m A E B
And someday she'll tell him that the boy is his kid
E
For right now they're both in love
C#m
The only thing they're thinkin' of
A B7 E
Is that they're finally where their hearts have always been

What She's Doing Now Tom: D Intro: D A Bm G A
[verse 1]
D A Bm G A
Last time I saw her it was turning colder but that was years ago.
D A Bm G D/F# Em A
Last I heard she had moved to Boulder but where she's now I don't know.
G F#m Bm G D/F# Em A G D
But there's something 'bout this time of year that spins my head around.
A Bm G A D
Takes me back, makes me wonder: What's she doing now?
[chorus]
D A/C# G A Bm A Bm
'Cause what's she's doing now is tearin' me apart.
Bm A G A D
Fillin' up my mind and emptying my heart.
D A/C# G F#m Bm
I can hear her call each time the cold wind blows,
A G A
And I wonder if she knows--what she's doin' now.
[verse 2]
D A Bm G A
Just for laughs I dialed her old number, but no one knew her name.
D A Bm G D/F# Em A
Hung up the phone, sat there and wondered if she'd ever done the same.
G F#m Bm G D/F# Em A G D
I took a walk in the evenin' wind to clear my head somehow.
A Bm G A D
But tonight I lie here thinkin' what's she doin' now?
[chorus]
D A/C# G A Bm A Bm
'Cause what's she's doing now is tearin' me apart.
Bm A G A D
Fillin' up my mind and emptying my heart.
D A/C# G F#m Bm
I can hear her call each time the cold wind blows,
A G A
And I wonder if she knows-
D A/C# G A Bm A Bm
That what's she's doing now is tearin' me apart.
Bm A G A D
Fillin' up my mind and emptying my heart.
D A/C# G F#m Bm
I can hear her call each time the cold wind blows,
A G A
And I wonder if she knows--what she's doin' now.
Unanswered Prayers Tom :D Intro: Em F#m G A
D G
Just the other night and a hometown football game
D Bm Em A
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame
G F#m Bm G
And as I introduced them the past came back to me
Em F#m G A
And I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be
D G
She was the one that I'd wanted for all times
D Bm Em A
And each night I'd spend prayin' that God would make her mine
G F#m Bm G
And if he'd only grant me this wish I wished back then
Em F#m A
I'd never ask for anything again
CHORUS:
D G A
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
D Bm Em A
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
D F#m G Bm
That just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care
D A G D
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
D G
She wasn't quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
D Bm
And I could tell that time had changed me
Em A
In her eyes too it seemed
G F#m
We tried to talk about the old days
Bm G
There wasn't much we could recall
Em F#m A
I guess the Lord knows what he's doin' after all
G F#m Bm
And as she walked away I looked at my wife
Em F#m
And then and there I thanked the good Lord
G A
For the gifts in my life
CHORUS:
D G A
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
D Bm Em A
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs
D F#m G Bm
That just because he may not answer doesn't mean he don't care
D A G
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered...
D A G
Some of God's greatest gifts are all too often unanswered...
D A G D
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
The Thunder Rolls Tom: Dm Intro: Dm
Dm Bb
Three-thirty in the morning, not a soul in sight
A Dm
The city's lookin' like a ghost town on a moonless summer night

Raindrops on the windshield, there's a storm moving in

As the storm blows on out of control
Bb C Dm
Deep in her heart the thunder rolls
Dm Bb
She's waitin' by the window when he pulls into the drive
A Dm
She rushes out to hold him thankful he's alive
Dm Bb
But on the wind and rain a strange new perfume blows
A Dm
And the lightnin' flashes in her eyes and he knows that she knows
C Em A Dm
And the thunder rolls, and the thunder rolls
Dm Bb
She runs back down the hallway, through the bedroom door.
A Dm
She reaches for the pistol hidden in the dresser drawer.
Dm Bb
Tells the lady in the mirror, "He won't do this again!".
A Dm
Tonight'll be the last time that she'll wonder where he's been...
C Em A Dm C Dm Dm Dm Dm
And the thunder rolls, and the thunder rolls
Chorus: Bb C Dm C Dm

Bb C A G A

Bb C Dm C Dm
As the storm blows on out of control

Deep in her heart the thunder rolls

That Summer Tom: G
G Em
1. I went to work for her that summer, a teenage kid so far from home,
C D
she was a lonely widow woman, hell bent to make it on her own.
G
We were a thousands miles from nowhere,
Em
wheat fields as far as I could see,
C - D
both needing something from eachother,
G
not knowing yet what that might be.
G Em
2. Till she came to me one evening, hot cup of coffee and a smile,
C D
in a dress that I was certain she hadn't worn in quite a while.
G
There was a difference in her laughter,
Em
there was a softness in her eyes,
C - D G
and on the air there was a hunger, even a boy could recognize.
D - C
She had a need to feel the thunder,
G
to chase the lightning from the sky,
C D
to watch the storm and all it's wonders raging in her lovers eyes.
Em -D-C G
She had to ride the heat of passion, like a comet burning bright,
C D
rushing headlong in the wind, out where only dreams have been,
G - C - G
burning both ends of the night.
G
3. That summer wind was all around me,
Em
nothing between us but the night,
C
and when I told her that I'd never,
D
she softly whispered, "That's alright!"
G Em
And then I watched her hands of leather turn to velvet in a touch,
C - D
there's never been another summer,
G
when I have ever learned so much.
- C - D - G
+ REFRAIN (We ..........eachother ..........we)
G
4. I often think about that summer,
Em
the sweat, the moonlight and the lace,
C D
and I have rarely held another, when I haven't seen her face.
G
And everytime I pass a wheat field,
Em
and watch it dancing in the wind,
C
although I know it isn't real,
D G
I just can't help but feel her hungry arms again. + REFRAIN
C D
rushing headlong in the wind, out where only dreams have been,
G - C - D - G
burning both ends of the night.
If Tomorrow never Comes Tom: G
G Am - D C G - C - G
1. Sometimes late at night I lie awake and watch her sleeping,
D Am
she's lost in peaceful dreams,
D C G - C - G
so I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark.
Am -D C G -C-G
And the thought crosses my mind, if I never wake up in the morning,
D Am D C G - C - G
would she ever doubt the way I feel about her in my heart.
G C G
If tomorrow never comes, will she know how much I loved her.
D Am D C G
Did I try in every way to show her every day that she's my only one ?
G7 C
And if my time on earth were through,
D Em - D - Em
and she must face this world without me,
Am C D
is the love I gave her in the past gonna be enough to last,
D7 G D - C - G
if tomorrow never comes.
G Am - D
2. 'Cause I've lost love ones in my life,
C G - C - G
who never knew how much I loved them.
D Am
Now I live with the regret
D C G - C - G
that my true feelings for them never were revealed.
Am - D
So I made a promise to myself,
C G - C - G
to say each day how much she means to me,
D Am
and avoid that circumstance,
D C D G - C - G

Much Too Young (TO FEEL THIS DAMN OLD) Tom: G
G Am
1. This old highway's getting longer,
D C G - D
seems there ain't no end in sight,
G Am
sleep would be best, but I just can't afford to rest,
D C G - D
I gotta ride in Denver tomorrow night.
G Am
2. I called the house, but no one answered,
D C G - D
for the last two weeks no one's been home.
G Am
I guess she's through with me, to tell the truth, I just can't see,
D C G
what's kept a woman holding on this long.
C G Em
And the white line's getting longer , and the saddle's getting cold,
C D G
now I'm much too young to feel this damn old.
C G Em
All my cards are on the table, with no ace left in the hole,
C D G
now I'm much too young to feel this damn old.
G-a-D-G G Am
2. The competition's getting younger,
D C G - D
tougher broncs, you know I can't recall.
G Am
A worn out tape of Chris LeDoux, lonely women and bad booze,
D C G
seem to be the only friends I've left at all. + REFRAIN +

Lord, I'm much too young to feel this damn old. (Garth Brooks)
Friends in Low Places Tom: G
G Dm
1. Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots,
Am
and ruined your black tie affair.
D D7
The last one to know, the last one to show,
G
I was the last one you thought you'd see there.
G Dm
2. And I saw the surprise and the fear in his eyes
Am C
when I took his glass of champagne
D
I toasted you, said honey, "We may be through,
D7
but you'll never hear me complain."
G 'Cause I got friends in low places,
where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases
Am D
my blues away, and I'll be okay.
G
And I'm not big on social graces, think I'll slip on down to the oasis,
Am -D G G-Am-D-G
oh, I've got friends in low places.
G Dm
3. Well I guess I was wrong, I just don't belong,
Am
but then, I've been there before.
D D7
Everything's all right, I'll just say goodnight,
G
and I'll show myself to the door.
G Dm Am C
4. Hey I didn't mean to cause a big scene, just give me an hour and then
D D7
well, I'll be as high as that ivory tower that you're livin' in.

The cowboy Song Tom: C
C F C
1. Pushin' horns weren't easy like the movies said it was,
\ G
and I don't recall no dance hall girls or hotel rooms with rugs.
C F C
You worked hot and tired and nasty, rode you pony's head too low,
G F
there were all the nights you couldn't sleep 'cause it was too damn cold.
C G C
And you'd sing, "Strawberry Roan" and "Little Joe".
C F C
2. Like the time we hit the river and the rains began to fall,
\ G
and the water was rising so damn fast we thought it'd drown us all.
C F C
We lost a lot of steers that day and four or five good mounts,
\ G F
but when all the boys rode into camp we knew that's what counts.
C G C
And we sang, "Yippee Ti Yi Yay" and "Amazing Grace".
Am Em F C
Or the night they broke behind us, and then they took us by surprise
Am Em F G ~
I whistled out to Bonner I seen the terror in his eyes.
C C7 F
And he rode for all his horse would ride and I know he done his best,
C G F
but he crossed over Jordan ridin' Dunny to his death.
C G C
And we sang, "Bringin' in the Sheaves" and "The Rugged Cross".

3. So when you see the cowboy, he's not ragged by his choice,
\ G
he never meant to bow them legs or put that gravel in his voice.
C F C
He's just chasin' what he really loves and what's burning in his soul,
G F
wishin' to God that he'd been born and hundred years ago,
C G C
still singin', "Strawberry Roan" and "Little Joe".
