Left Me in a Hole Yonder Mountain String Band
[G]Divorcee goes [D]to the bars
A [C]sophisticat pulls up in his car
[G]A hopeful youth waits [D]for the first star to [C]come out
[G]The sky above can [D]be so mean, the [C]clouds cover what should be seen
[G]And there ain't much [D]left too keen in [C]my book
[G] [//] [D] [//] [C] [////]
Hangin' on to someone else, he tells you that peace sells
And you see him like all's well, I ain't jealous
Though you used to listen to me,
My inner thoughts have made you flee
I know you were just tryin' to be what you want to be
[Am]I let you in to [G]see me for real
[Am]And you walked right out that's [G]what I feel [G/F#]
[Em]You said you [D]needed time to be [G]al[G]on[C]e [G] [G] [G] [C] [G]
Chorus:
[Am]And like the youth I [G]looked above
[Am]Feeling stranded [G]without love [G/F#]
[Em]The time was [D]wrong, and you left me in a [G]hole
You [D]left me in [C]hole (you left me in a [G]hole)
You [D]left me in [C]hole
G D C C (solo break)
The rain it comes, the rain it goes
The question is, she friend or foe
The story-teller looks to his toes, he's stuck here
The dragon's breath is on my neck
Which way is home, hold on a sec
The bartender put a bottle of beer on the table
Many people, they believe that Jesus came here to relieve
All the problems that we breathe on each other
And I don't care just what you do,
Or what you think, that's up to you
You see, those thoughts of yours are not new to me at all
[Am]And is it these thoughts that [G]made you believe
[Am]That there's nothing here so [G]you shall leave [G/F#]
[Em]While I sit [D]here with my guitar in my hand [G] [G] [C] [G] [G] [G] [C] [G]
Chorus:
[Am]And like the youth I [G]looked above
[Am]Feeling stranded [G]without love [G/F#]
[Em]The time was [D]wrong, and you left me in a [G]hole
You [D]left me in [C]hole (you left me in a [G]hole)
You [D]left me in [C]hole
(Instrumental Break)
A hungry baby starts to cry, an old man's about to die
And all I can do is sit back and sigh, what's my problem
Ignore the problem, that's the key
Said the woman beneath the tree
If your eyes are closed, you can't see the sunrise
The phone, it rings, who could it be
Well, it ain't her, and it's not for me
Forgetting's as easy as 1-2-3 my friends say
Her face is still all too clear, her leaving me was my biggest fear
Something's got to help me steer away from her
You have your life, and I have mine,
Maybe we'll meet again some other time
Down the long road, on another plain
( Chorus )
You left me in hole (you left me in a hole)...
