Cleopatra

Key: AEasy

Well....I (A)said he had a lot of potential, he was only misunderstood

You know, he (D)really didn't mean to treat me so bad,

He (A)wanted to be good

And I (E)swore, one day, I would tame him,

Even tho, he loved to run hogwild

Just call me, (A)Cleopatra, (D)everybody,

'Cause (E)I'm the queen of (A)denial

I (A)knew he didn't have any money,

yeah, that's why he couldn?t buy me a ring

Oh, and (D)just because he bought himself a brand new pick up truck

(A)Really didn't prove anything

And (E)he never had to say he loved me,

I could see it everytime he smiled

Just call me, (A)Cleopatra, (D)everybody,

'Cause (E)I'm the queen of (A)denial

Oh, queen of (D)denial, (A)buying all his alibis

Queen of (B)denial,(E)floatin' down a river of lies, yeah, yeah

Lead? plays music to "All the girls in France do the hula hula dance"

III

No, (A)I'm not gonna jump to conclusions,

(A)Oh, and throw away this perfect romance

Even (D)tho, I saw him dancin' last night,

With a (A)girl in a leopard skin pants

Oh, he's (E)probably stuck in traffic

And he'll be here in a little while

Just call me, (A)Cleopatra, (D)everybody,

'Cause (E)I'm the queen of (A)denial

Homeward Looking Angel

Key: GHard

GGFFGGFF

G She saw the ragged edge of GnowhereF from a fast moving Ftrain

G Watched the scenery flGy by with a fFever in her Fbrain

Em Seemed like a Emgood time at the time, A7rolling down that trA7ack

Em Now the only thEming she wants is aA7 one-way ticket bA7ack

SheUs aD homeward looking aBmngel and she'sD feeling mighty tBmired

Her Dparty dress is tBmattered but her Gvision is inspBmired

And that gDirl looking back in the mBmirror, lord, madeD such a mess of thBmings

And she's lDeaving in the mBmorning soon as Gshe can find her wAings

Soon as she can fGind her wings,G oh oh oFhh-ohhh F

G(insGtrumFentaFl; see tab at end for one riff)

She's so very hungry for a piece of Mama's pie

Served up on Grandma's china after church on Sunday night

Oh, now Papa's probably turning out the lights and heading up the stairs

And the wayward child he never talks about still turns up in his prayers

She's a homeward looking angel and she must be feeling mighty tired

Her party dress is tattered but her vision is inspired

And that girl looking back in the mirror, lord, made such a mess of things

And she's leaving in the morning soon as she can find her wings

Oh, yeaCh... D(instGrumenAtal) A

There's a Froad ahead and a Froad behind

GAll roads lead to hAome this time A

She's a homeward looking angel and she's feeling mighty tired

She went gunning for glory but her bullets all misfired

And that girl looking back in the mirror, lord, made such a mess of things

And she's leaving in the morning soon as she can find her wings

Soon as she can find her wings, oh oh ohh-ohhh

Homeward looking angel

C/G

intro[G] G G G

GLooking at you through a Gmisty moonlight, Gkatydids sing like a Csymphony

GPorch swing swaying like a GTenn. lullaby, Gmelody blowing thru the Cwillow tree

D What was I Cs'posed to do, D standing there Clooking at you

D Lonely bFoy far from Ghome G

Maybe it was GMemphis, G maybe it was Csouthern summer nCights

Maybe it was Am7you, maybe it was Cme, but it sure felt Gright G

Read about you in a Faulkner novel, met you once in a Williams play

Heard about you in a country love song, summer night beauty took my breath away

What was I s'posed to do, standing there looking at you

Lonely boy far from home

Maybe it was Memphis, maybe it was southern summer nights

Maybe it was you, maybe it was me, but it sure felt right

Maybe it was Memphis, maybe it was southern summer nights

Maybe it was you, maybe it was me, but it sure felt right

Guitar solo, same chords as chorus; see tab at end

Every night now since I've been back home, lie awake drifting in my memory

Think about you on my mama's front porch swing, talking that way, so soft to me

What was I s'posed to do, standing there looking at you

Lonely boy so far from home

Maybe it was Memphis, maybe it was southern summer nights

Maybe it was you, maybe it was me, but it sure felt right

Maybe it was Memphis, maybe it was southern summer nights

Maybe it was you, maybe it was me, but it sure felt right

Maybe it was Am7you, maybe it was Cme, but it sure Gfelt right G

GOhhh,C/G you know it sure felt Gright G

Let That Pony Run

Said she mCade him free reckless and yFoung

When Che was throuGgh, what elAmse could she do

She just Flet that pGony rCun

'CausFe you dGo what you gCotta do

CMary moved to West VirginFia

CAfter the shock wore Foff

She Cgot a divGorce and a cheAmstnut horse

And a baFrn with an old hayloGft

CSometimes she rides down by the rivFer

CSays it makes her feel reckless and yFoung

CShe just closes her eGyes and she holdsAm on tight

And she Flets that poGny rCun
