If I Didn't Drink Alone 2/26/2019
C G Am F G F C Am C G Am
Got fire in the wood stove
Outside 14 below
Haven't heard phone ring
In 7 days or more
Maybe there's an email
Waiting for me online
Could be I'd call you up
If I thought you had the time
Chorus F C F C F C Am G C
If I didn't drink alone
Who would drink with me at all
I'd spend these winter nights
Just staring at the wall
Old friends and lovers
Still waiting on your call
If I didn't drink alone
Who would drink with me at all
C G Am F G F C Am C G Am
Wild turkeys and mule deer
Come calling by and by
Tracks and scat upon the snow
Let me know they're still alive
Still I got my guitar
To while away another day
Maybe try and write a tune
But so little left to say
Chorus F C F C F C Am G C
Harmonica Break F C F C F C Am G C
C G Am F G F C Am C G Am
Now we're getting older
Some things are set aside
Small comfort gained in knowledge
That we're still alive
Bonds formed so long ago
Can wither in the breeze
Never dreamed in a million years
It'd be happening to me
2xChorus F C F C F C Am G Am
If I didn't drink alone
Who would drink with me at all
I'd spend these winter nights
Just staring at the wall
Old friends and lovers
Still waiting on your call
If I didn't drink alone
Who would drink with me at all
If I didn't drink alone G C
Who would drink with me at all

Me And You In The Morning Dew 3/11/2019

The sun is rising
My love is smiling
Start a brand new day

New hope I'm finding

In the marrow of my soul
When we come together
I always feel at home
Leaving me breathless
With all the love you've shown

There's a silver lining
Oh so defining
Season's changing of the guard
A gentle reminding G Am C G
Of promises binding
From a winter gone away so hard
Powered by the morning sun Am
The rhythm for the day
Just me and you in the morning dew C D D7
Still takes my breath away

From a truth that's shining
On a love that's here to stay
A gift horse we're riding G Am C G
In whispers confiding
Knowing we'll finish out the day
I can see the future Am
In the smile upon your face
Just me and you in the morning dew C D D7
Still takes my breath away

If Only Kilroy Were Still Here 2/22/2019
G Am C G G Am C G Em C G D G Am C G Capo3 Bb
Lately I been thinking
So many things today have changed
That which I've always believed in
Brushed aside with disdain
Ignored by left wing demagoguery
Fed by ignorance and fear
Little progress we have made hence
Ahh, if only Kilroy were still here
Guitar break Am Em Am C G
Things we once thought were crazy
Now becoming the new norm
Love of Country, God and Freedom
Left to wither in the storm
And the things they preach in school
No child should ever have to hear
Oft repeated lies becoming truth
Ahh, if only Kilroy were still here
Guitar break Am Em Am C G
Hitler thought Kilroy was a spy
From Anzio to Normandy
With the spirit of do or die
He fought to keep our country free
Kilroy always left his humble mark
At his every port of call
They say Stalin met him in a restroom
Ahh Didn't recognize him at all
Guitar break Am Em Am C G
America besieged from within
Ambition, ignorance and greed
Khrushchev threatened they would bury us
This is how he said it'd be
America's built for endurance
To carry on and persevere
I know we're gonna make it
Ahh I think Kilroy he's still here!
From our dead hands they'll have to take it
Ahh Cause Old Kilroy he's still here!
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Ahh Old Kilroy he's still here!
I know we're gonna make it
Cause Old Kilroy he's still here!

Nothing's Harder Than A Woman's Heart 4/30/2019
G Em C G G Em D D7 Capo 1
There's nothing harder than a woman's heart
With her mind made up to go
A face once filled with ready warmth and love
Can quickly turn to stone

There's nothing harder than a woman's heart
When its time to make a break
A woman knows when its time to go
She's taken all she's gonna take
Chorus C G C G C G Em D D7
There's nothing harder than a woman's heart
Who's really really had it rough
And she'll choose to set herself apart
When she knows she's had enough
G Em C G G Em D D7
There's nothing harder than a woman's heart
While her cards are still in play
There'll be no quitting once she gets her start
Too relentless to be swayed

There's nothing harder than a woman's heart
Like a diamond in the rough
A woman knows when its time to fold
Betting no one calls her bluff
Chorus C G C G C G Em D D7
There's nothing harder than a woman's heart
Who's really really had it rough
And she'll choose to set herself apart

Prepare yourself to take some heat
She'll shut you down before you even start
And leave you crying in the street

When she's going her own way
A woman knows when its time to go
To live and love another day
Chorus

There's nothing harder than a woman's heart
Who sets her mind to see it through
There'll be no stopping till she's got it done
Ain't nothing nobody can do
C G C G C G
There's nothing harder than a woman's heart
Who's really really had it rough
And she'll choose to set herself apart
Em C G
3x When she knows she's had enough

Montana 2/26/2019
G Em Capo 3 Bb
She's a pretty girl
Always gets what she wants
She's the kinda gal
Any man would surely want
Chorus G Em G Am G G Em G Am C G
Montana was her name
She sang a siren's call
That drove most men insane
Never minding it at all
She wrapped me in her arms
Promising the moon
Believing all her lies
Couldn't have me too soon
Guitar Break G Em Am C G
She's a pretty girl
Always gets what she wants
She's the kinda gal
Makes you never want to stop
Chorus G Em G Am G G Em G Am C G
Montana called my name
Alluring from afar
Dropping everything
To catch a shooting star
She took me to her bed
What a glorious night it was
But I woke up cold and shivering
Montana she was gone
Guitar Break G Em Am C G
She's a pretty girl
Always gets what she wants
She's the kinda gal
In your dreams she will haunt
Fade
She's a pretty girl
Always gets what she wants

Someone's A List (Millennial Whoop) 3/27/2019
C G C G D G
Wouldn't it be nice to be on someone's A list
Having all your calls answered right away
Living up to promises never being dismissed
Never have to wait for another day
Chorus C G D G
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
G C G D G C G D
C G C G D G
It's a rushed and crushed self centered age
Uncommon courtesy oh so rare
So well connected but seldom engaged
I'm dialing your number but there's nobody's there
Chorus C G D G
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
G C G D G C G D
C G C G D G
Agreements made too soon discarded
Friendships forged left to fade away
Stated good intentions often disregarded
Empty promises rue the day
Chorus C G D G
G C G D
C G C G D G
They say nice guys never finish first
I'd like to think it ain't always true
Good intentions often reimbursed
People are as people do
Chorus C G D G
G C G D
C G C G D G
Wouldn't it be nice to be on someone's A list
Have all your calls answered right away
Living up to promises and never being dismissed
Never have to wait for another day
Chorus C G D G
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Smile 3/20/2019
Chorus Dm C G Am F C G Capo 3
Smile
She smiles for me
Yes she smiles for me
Erstwhile or beguiled
What could this be
She truly smiles for me
Am C G Dm Am C G
I see you standing in the sun
Your eyes are so alive
Something tells me you're the one
Won't you tell me why
No one's loved me quite like this
Should I fall or should I fly
Do I dare and take the risk
Or turn and say goodbye
Chorus
Am C G Dm Am C G
You came to me a whirlwind
You never were my goal
Having seen how love could end
I'd nothing left to show
Your eyes they grabbed a hold of me
Deep down into my soul
With a smile you set me free
My heart becoming whole
Chorus Dm C G Am F C G
Smile
She smiles for me
Yes she smiles for me
Erstwhile or beguiled
What else could this be
She truly smiles for me
Smile Dm C G Am F C G
She smiles for me
Yes she smiles for me

No One Listens Anymore 3/13/2019
G C G Em C G D G
Been trying all my life
To write a simple song
Emulating heroes
From a youth gone far too long
Finally felt myself a journeyman
Something lyrical to say
With my music overflowing
And no place left to play
Chorus C G Em D C Em G D G
Someone should have told me
Folks don't listen anymore
To the muses of humanity
Like they used to do before
They've barely time for sound bytes
Even closed the record store
Won't someone try and tell me why
No one listens anymore
G C G Em C G D G
Don't know exactly when
The day the music died
Hadn't really noticed
Like the falling of the tide
Rhythm without substance
Filled with mindless syncope
Generations without music
Such a sad sad way to be
Chorus/Harmonica C G Em D C Em G D G
G C G Em C G D G
The perennial millennial
Seems not to realize
The need to build one's own life
To be truly satisfied
Music from computers
So impersonal and benign
Can only be the product
Of the dulling of the mind
C G Em D C Em G D G
Someone should have told me
Folks don't listen anymore
To the muses of humanity
Like they used to do before
They've barely time for sound bytes
Even closed the record store
Won't someone try and tell me why
No one listens anymore
2nd Chorus C G Em D C Em G D Em G D G
Someone should have told me
Folks don't listen anymore
To the muses of humanity
Like they used to do before
They've barely time for sound bytes
Even closed the record store
Won't someone try and tell me why
No one listens anymore
Won't someone try and tell me why
No one listens anymore

Things just won't rhyme
Feeling low
Let it go
Give me a sign
Your love's is still mine
Make it so

Chorus
When you know

If it flows

And if you could see
Hxsow things might be
Would you go
Take it slow
Do you still want me
Can we still be
Let it show
Let me know
Chorus
When you know
I will know
If it flows
We will know
We will know
We will know

The Grass Is Greener 5/2/2019
Chorus G D G C G D G
The grass is greener on the other side
Its always been true though I don't know why
You can jump the fence oh my oh my
Now the grass is greener on the other side
G D G C G D G
Once had a wife named Linda Lou
Left her for a gal named Peggy Sue
Now I've lost my love
What shall I do
Gotta get me back to my Linda Lou
Chorus G D G C G D G
The grass is greener on the other side
Its always been true though I don't know why
You can jump the fence oh my oh my
Now the grass is greener on the other side
Had me a house up on the hill
Wife and some kids and a whole lotta bills
Chased a pretty thing
Till I had my fill
Hope they'll take me back but I doubt they will
Chorus G D G C G D G
The grass is greener on the other side
Its always been true though I don't know why
You can jump the fence oh my oh my
Now the grass is greener on the other side
Well I begged and I pleaded with my lovely bride
To lay my indiscretions down by the wayside
Said there's only one place
Where I could abide
Where the grass is greener on the other side
2X Chorus G D G C G D G
The grass is greener on the other side
Its always been true though I don't know why
You can jump the fence oh my oh my
Now the grass is greener on the other side
The grass is greener on the other side
Its always been true though I don't know why
You can jump the fence oh my oh my
Now the grass is greener on the other side
Oh the grass is greener on the other side
