Topic: Show Me Where

This is a song from the heart by a country boy who misses how country use to be. I hope you all like it.

Show Me Where By Jeff Gilpin


November 23rd, 2007




Intro


[E7]




Verse 1


I’ve [A]searched the radi[D]o from dial to [A]dial


[D]Trying to find a more old fashion [A]style


Aren’t there [E]pickers and singers to[E7]day


Who play [E]music the old timey [A]way


[A]Maybe to [D]solve my [A]problem


I should [D]go back to where I was first [A]hooked


That [B]angelic voice from Eastern Kentucky


[E]She’ll know where I should [E7]look




Chorus


Hey Lo[A]retta I’m asking you


[D]Please will you hear my re[A]quest


Hey Lo[A]retta please I’m begging


[B]Help me find what they’re playing [E]less


Help me [A]find if you can


That [D]music that comes straight from the [Dm]heart


Hey Lo[A]retta can you [E]help me


Please [D]Ma’am can you [E]show me where to [A]start




Verse 2


I’m [A]up on [D]all those new [A]gadgets


I’m [D]pretty good on the inter[A]net


But [E]even as good as I am [E7]with ‘em


Ihaven’t [E]found what I’m looking for [A]yet


I [A]guess I could go [D]back to my re[A]liables


Like [D]yours I’ve listened to ‘em for [A]years


But [B]Hank’s gone away and no one’s left to play


[E]Music to make me cry in my [E7]beers




Chorus


Hey Lo[A]retta I’m asking you


[D]Please will you hear my re[A]quest



Hey Lo[A]retta please I’m begging


[B]Help me find what they’re playing [E]less


Help me [A]find if you can


That [D]music that comes straight from the [Dm]heart


Hey Lo[A]retta can you [E]help me


Please [D]Ma’am can you [E]show me where to [A]start




Verse 3


So [A]please [D]let me be [A]clear


And [D]maybe I can find it this [A]year


[E]Pickers who sing and [E7]singers who pick


They [E]way my ears won’t let me for[A]get


Please [A]tell me there’s [D]someone out [A]there


Some[D]one who sings kind of like [A]you


[B]Just point me in that direction


Please Mrs. [E]Lynn that’s all you have to [E7]do




Chorus


Hey Lo[A]retta I’m asking you


[D]Please will you hear my re[A]quest


Hey Lo[A]retta please I’m begging


[B]Help me find what they’re playing [E]less


Help me [A]find if you can


That [D]music that comes straight from the [Dm]heart


Hey Lo[A]retta can you [E]help me


Please [D]Ma’am can you [E]show me where to [A]start




Ending Chorus


Hey Lo[A]retta if you do that


You’ll make a [D]country boy’s dream come [A]true


But Lo[A]retta I hope you know


This [B]doesn’t mean I’ll stop listening to [E]you


I’m just [A]hoping I can find


[D]Someone who can carry on the [Dm]song


From o[A]riginals just like [E]you


Who’ll [D]keep my country [E]music going [D]strong [A]

I love this! I loved Loretta Lynn.. Years ago id search the few stations

we had looking for her voice.. May be thats why i love Nanci Griffiths singing

The Radio song also.  But "Coalminers Daughter" is one of my favourite Films

and songs.
