Lefty Left Us Lonely chords

Lefty Left Us Lonely

• G

CAPO: 2nd Fret/KEY: A/:PLAY: G 
(G) Now Lefty came from Texas 
At least that what they (G7) say 
He (C) cut a record down in Dallas 
It really got 'im on his way 
(D7) You could hear 'im on ev'ry jukebox 
In ev'ry town and state 
Ev'ry DJ played - Always (G) Late. 

Now Lefty wasn't no saint 
He didn't claim to be 
He could sing a country song 
Send cold chills through me 
Like the son of a Saginaw fisherman 
He sang --- in Saginaw, Michigan 

If (C) you got money, honey, I've got the time 
When he (G) sang that song, well, he nearly blew my mind 
I'd walk for miles, cry or (D7) smile, for my (G) mama and (C) daddy 
And it (G) tears me up to (D7) see a grown man (G) cry. 

Lefty left us lonely 
He left before his time 
But I can see 'im singin' now to an angel 
At that Opry in the sky 
I'm just an old, old man a-lookin' for fun 
Why, oh! why, do you do me this way? 

If you got money, honey, I've got the time 
When he sang that song, well, he nearly blew my mind 
I'd walk for miles, cry or smile, for my mama and daddy 
Oh! why, oh! why, oh! why, do you do me this way? 

TAG: Yeah! Oh! why, oh! why, oh! why, do you do me this way?
