Don't it Make My Brown Eyes Blue

C Am Dm7 G7
Don't know when I've been so blue

C Am7 Bm7-5 E7 (Bm7-5 023230)
don't know what's come over you

Am C (G bass)3x2010 D7 (F#bass) 2x0210
You've found someone new

F Em7 C
And don't it make my brown eyes blue.

I'll be fine when you're gone
I'll just cry all night long
Say it isn't true
And don't it make my brown eyes blue


Am Em7 F C
Tell me no secrets, tell me some lies
Am Em7 F C
give me no reasons give me alibies
Am Em7 F C
Tell me you love me and don't let me cry
Dm7 Em F F(Gbass)3x3210
Say anything but don't say goodbye.

I didn't mean to treat you so bad,
Didn't knwo what I had
but honey now I do
and don't it make my brown eyes blue.

Delbert McClinton - Cost Of Living

Delbert McClinton - Cost Of Living

One of the Fortunate Few.

Well for one thing.... there was a whole lot of other guys
would have liked to be in my shoes.
But the upkeep on a woman like that
Would give an old poor boy the blues.
Still the pleasure was worth the pain
Of everything she put me through
And I consider myself one of the fortunate few.

Yeah and another thing.... She wasn't just good looking,
her imagination just wouldn't quit.
She made you do thing you never thought about
and things you wouldn't wanna admit.
There must be somebody else out there
who feels about her like I do,
Still I consider myself one of the fortunate few.

It felt so good and hurt so bad,
the best and the worst that I ever had,
I know I bit off a little more than I could chew,
Still I consider myself one of the fortunate few.

Well that's the last thing.... I'm gonna tell you
some things are better left unsaid.
A gentleman don't go talking about
What happens in a womans bed,
Cause that's all I got to say,
I'll leave the rest up to you
But I consider myself one of the fortunate few.
