Write This Down

Key: GEasy

Submitted by: Christopher R. (May 14, 2003)

I never saw the (G) end in sight; fools are kind of (A7) blind.

Thought everything was (D) going alright, but I was running out of (G) time.

'Cause (D) you had one (G) foot out the door, I swear I didn't (A7) see

But if you're really (C) going away, (D) here's some final words from (G) me (C) (G)

Baby, (D) write this (G) down, take a little note to re(A7)mind you in case you didn't know,

Tell yourself I (C) love you and I don't want you to (D) go, write this (G) down (D)

Take my (G) words, read 'em every day, keep 'em close (A) by, don't you let 'em fade away,

So you'll re(C)member what I forgot to (D) say, write this (G) down.

I'll sign it at the (G) bottom of the page, I'll swear under (A7) oath

'Cause every single (D) word is true, and I think you need to (G) know,

So (D) use it as a (G) bookmark, stick it on your (A7) 'frigerator door,

Hang it in a (C) picture frame up above the (D) mantel where you'll see it for (G) sure (C) (G)

Baby, (D) write this (G) down, take a little note to re(A7)mind you in case you didn't know,

Tell yourself I (C) love you and I don't want you to (D) go, write this (G) down (D)

Take my (G) words, read 'em every day, keep 'em close (A) by, don't you let 'em fade away,

So you'll re(C)member what I forgot to (D) say, write this (G) down.

(Bm7) You can find a chisel, (D) I can find a stone.

Baby, (D) write this (G) down, take a little note to re(A7)mind you in case you didn't know,

Tell yourself I (C) love you and I don't want you to (D) go, write this (G) down (D)

Take my (G) words, read 'em every day, keep 'em close (A) by, don't you let 'em fade away,

So you'll re(C)member what I forgot to (D) say, write this (G) down.

Oh I (A) love you and I don't want you to (D) go, baby write this (G) down (C) (G)

Dsus

At aD truck stop in San Angelo, I saw aG billboard about this rodeo

This Aweekend out in El Paso, so I signed up toD ride

I drew a bull called Original Sin, heard he'dG killed a couple of men

Figured this wasA somethin' I could win, 'cause the devil was on myD side

I wasD havin' myself one hell of a ride, but IG ended up disqualified

ThatA old bull just up an died, before they blew theD whistle

With themD North Texas blues, thought I'dG paid all my dues

Then themA South Texas blues, told me son you ain'tD through

Had theD East Texas blues, an' theG West Texas too

I've doneA all I know to do, tryin? to lose,

Tryin? to lose these old Lone StarD BluesA D

Well, I got laidD off at Brown and Root, then on myG way back to Cut 'N Shoot

I lost myA wristwatch an' my boots, shootin' dice with a dude fromD Houston

Well, there ain't noD jobs here workin' cattle, I got onG part-time hauling gravel

With someA outfit from Seattle, down here building customD homes

With themD North Texas blues, thought I'dG paid all my dues

Then themA South Texas blues, told me son you ain'tD through

Had theD East Texas blues, an' theG West Texas too

I've doneA all I know to do, tryin? to lose,

Tryin? to lose these old Lone StarD Blues D G A D G A D

Well I got aD friend there turnin' knobs, at aG place called Billy Bob's

Said heA thought he could get me a job there working as aD bouncer

First night on theD job was just insane, some oldG boy got all deranged

Hit me in theA head with a Harley chain, to this day, my ears stillD ring
