Fifteen Countries Aunt Martha
The lyrics might be off, and I tabbed this based on this video: http://vimeo.com/24655104,
so it might vary a tiny bit from the album version.
I put two options for each chord. In the video he uses the chords on the left, I like to
use the open chords on the right (fretting 3 on the high E string is optional).
Also, for the lines "fifteen countries long" and "that was not enough" the chords refer
to the bass note that you should hit.
Capo 1
G 35540x or 32000(3)
A 50540x or x0200(3)
C 53540x or x3200(3)
Intro:
[G] [A] [C] [C]
well [G]i keep trying to tell you that i [A]feel like i am losing my min[C]d
that [G]man you always wanted i should [A]tell you that i left him beh[C]ind
when i [G]wake up in the morning there are [A]strangers i have yet to beco[C]me
and [G]lie down in the evening it is [A]spinning from the things that i've d[C]one
you could have been [G]right
i could have been [A]wrong
and here i am l[C]ost on the highway
[C]fif[B]teen [A]coun[E]tries [G]long
you could have been [G]mine
sure it's been [A]tough
i could have been [C]holding you tightly
but [C]that [B]was [A]not [E]en[G]ough
[A] [C] [C]
and [G]they keep trying to tell me that it's [A]best i take some time and slow d[C]own
that [G]fires they burn brightest in the [A]mornings just before they burn o[C]ut
and [G]here i'm getting used to all these [A]strangers and the things that they [C]do
and [G]every time you call me i am [A]further from the man that you k[C]new
you could have been [G]right
i could have been [A]wrong
and here i am l[C]ost on the highway
[C]fif[B]teen [A]coun[E]tries [G]long
you could have been [G]mine
sure it's been [A]tough
i could have been [C]holding you tightly
but [C]that [B]was [A]not [E]en[G]ough
[A]that was not enou[C]gh
[C]that [B]was [A]not [E]en[G]ough
[C]floorboards call on you again
[C]loneliness and some new friend
i'm [G]counting down the days that i have [C]left
i'm[G] getting up you're still asleep
i [C]wish you'd never think of me
i [G]honestly believe that would be [C]best
you could have been [G]right
i could have been [A]wrong
and here i am l[C]ost on the highway
[C]fif[B]teen [A]coun[E]tries [G]long
you could have been [G]mine
sure it's been [A]rough
i could have been [C]holding you tightly
but [C]that [B]was [A]not [E]en[G]ough
[A]that was not enou[C]gh
[C]that [B]was [A]not [E]en[G]ough
