Hank Williams : Memorial Album

A7

I tried so hard my dear to show that you're my every dream

D

Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme

G

A memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart

A7

D

Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your Cold Cold Heart

D

A7

Another love before my time made your heart sad and blue

D

And so my heart is paying now for things I didn't do

G

In anger, unkind words are said that make the teardrops start

A7

D

Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your Cold Cold Heart

D

A7

You'll never know how much it hurts to see you sit and cry

D

You know you need and want my love yet you're afraid to try

G

Why do you run and hide from life, to try it just ain't smart

A7

D

Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your Cold Cold Heart

D

A7

There was a time when I believed that you belonged to me

D

But now I know your heart is shackled to a memory

G

The more I learn to care for you, the more we drift apart

A7

D

Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your Cold Cold Heart

G7

C

F

Your cheatin' heart will make you weep

G

C

You'll cry and cry and try to sleep

C

F

But sleep won't come the whole night through

G

C

Your cheatin' heart will tell on you

F

C

When tears come down like fallin' rain

D7

G

You'll toss around and call my name

C

F

You'll walk the floor the way I do

G7

C

Your cheatin' heart will tell on you

C

F

G

C

F

Your cheatin' heart will pine some day

G

C

And crave the love you threw away

C

F

The time will come when you'll be blue

G

C

Your cheatin' heart will tell on you

F

C

When tears come down like fallin' rain

D7

G

You'll toss around and call my name

C

F

You'll walk the floor the way I do

G7

C

Your cheatin' heart will tell on you

G

C

Comb your hair and paint and powder

F

You act proud and I'll act prouder

G

You sing loud and I'll sing louder

G

Tonight we're settin' the woods on fire You're my gal and I'm your fellow Dress up in your frock of yellow I'll look swell but you'll look sweller Settin' the woods on fire

F

We'll take in all the honky-tonks

C

Tonight we're having fun

D7

We'll show the folks a brand new dance

G

That never has been done I don't care who thinks we're silly You be daffy and I'll be dilly We'll order up two bowls of chili Settin' the woods on fire

C

I'll gas up my hot rod stoker We'll get hotter than a poker You'll be broke but I'll be broker Tonight we're settin' the woods on fire We'll sit close to one another Up one street and down the other We'll have a time, oh brother Settin' the woods on fire We'll put aside a little time To fix a flat or two My tire and tubes are doin' fine But the air is showin' through You clap hands and I'll start howling We'll do all the law's allowing Tomorrow I'll be right back plowing Settin' the woods on fire

Em

Kaw-Liga was a wooden Indian standing by the door

Em

He fell in love with an Indian maiden over in the antique store

B7

Kaw-Liga... just stood there and never let it show

Em

So she could never answer yes or no He always wore his Sunday feathers and held a tommy hawk The maiden wore her beads and braids and hoped someday he'd talk Kaw-Liga, too stubborn to ever show a sign Because his heart was made of knotty pine

E

Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, he never got a kiss

A

Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, he don't know what he missed

E

B7

Is it any wonder that his face is red

Em

Kaw-Liga, that poor ol' wooden head Kaw-Liga was a lonely Indian, never went nowhere His heart was set on the Indian maid with the coal black hair Kaw-Liga, just stood there and never let it show So she could never answer yes or no And then one day a wealthy customer bought the Indian maid And took her, oh, so far away, but ol' Kaw-Liga stayed Kaw-Liga, just stands there as lonely as can be And wishes he was still an old pine tree Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, he never got a kiss Poor ol' Kaw-Liga, he don't know what he missed Is it any wonder that his face is red Kaw-Liga, that poor ol' wooden head

Em

E

A

The news is out all over town

E

B7

That you've been seen a-runnin' round

E

A

I know that I should leave but then

E

B7

E

I just can't go, you win again

A

E

This heart of mine could never see

B7

What everybody knew but me

E

A

Just trusting you was my great sin

E

B7

E

What can I do? You win again

E

A

I'm sorry for your victim now

E

B7

'Cause soon his head like mine will bow

E

A

He'll give his heart, but all in vain

E

B7

E

And someday say, "You win again"

A

E

You have no heart, you have no shame

B7

You take true love and give the blame

E

A

I guess that I should not complain

E

B7

E

I love you still, you win again
