Goodbye Lefty

Words and music by Merle Haggard CAPO: 2nd Fret/KEY: A/PLAY: G G D7 G I'd love to hear a jukebox play C G I love you a thousand ways C G D7 Or if you've got the money, I've got the time G D7 G I'd walk a mile for Mom and Dad C G And the good times that we had C Look what thoughts will do G D7 G When you sing old pal of mine. CHORUS D7 But the old, old man is gone C G There'll be no more Lefty songs C G D7 How much he meant to me, nobody knows G D7 G The long black veil that Alice wore C G Like words he sang some years be- fore C G she loved him, too ... D7 G That's the way love goes. CHORUS Merle Haggard - The Way It Was In '51/1978 Capitol Records SW 11839
