Forever
written by Billy Bob Thornton and Marty Stuart
Corrections welcome. Tabbed 5/6/05
NOTE: During verses, Marty Stuart hammers on an E/G, Esus2 and Esus4 at a somewhat random
pace; it was too hard to figure out for me to put it down.
INTRO: E

E
Hey baby, it's me, listen I'm gonna talk fast this is long distance
Yeah I'm sittin' here at the Waffle House, smothered and covered
Yeah, Precious just set me down a glass of sweet tea, made me think about you
No, baby, she's the waitress
No, I don't know her--I never stopped in Texarkana before
Looky here, the only thing standin' between me and you now is 200 hundred miles
And a donut tire some cat named Dino is puttin' on at the Sinclair next door
Hey, don't cry baby--oh, don't cry
Yeah Daddy's comin' home and this time it's for good
And girl I'm gonna--well, I mean I'm gonna love you
What do you mean how long?
CHORUS:
B7AB7A
Forever, and ever, and ever, and ever
B7AB7AB7
Forever, and ever, and ever is that long enough for you
(play CHORUS chords again)
(Spoken)
E
Hey baby, it's me again, hey you remember them drawers you left in the car
Yeah, the ones with the pink feathers around the edge
Now, don't you tell a soul but I got 'em on right now
And they're makin me think about you
Yeah, I was thinkin' 'bout you when the law pulled me over
They said I looked like the kinda guy that might be hidin' somethin'
And my car was swervin'
But I don't think he's ever seen a man wearin' pink panties
And under the influence of Merle Haggard
Now here it is baby, the only thing standin' between you and me
Is 25 miles and a quick stop at the Red Dot, say what?
Oh baby I already told you how long I'm gonna stay this time
CHORUS
AB7A
Forever, forever, and ever and ever
B7AB7AB7
And ever, forever, and ever is that long enough for you
AB7A
Forever, forever, and ever and ever
B7AB7AB7
And ever, forever, forever is that long enough for you
(REPEAT and fade)
