Intro:

G  D  Am  C


Verse 1:
G                       D
Now I remember all them summers
Am                      C
Played until my fingers bled
G                                      D
You would sing songs and I'd sing with you
Am                         C
We'd get drunk and go to bed
G                          D
Looking back at all them memories
Am                     C
Lord, I hate to sleep alone
G                         D
But if you ever get the notion
Am                       C
That you need me, let me know

Chorus:
            G
'Cause it's just two hours to get there, babe
D
I can make it back about an hour or so
Am
Hold you close against my skin
  C
I need a little warmth on a night so cold
G
Singing songs we used to sing
    D
The one about the lady in the long, black veil
Am
Should've heard those warning signs
C
But Lord I loved to hear you wail
G
High and lonesome, hard and strong
D
Even if it was a little out of tune
Am
Hotter than socks on a Jersey Giant
C
Lord, I thought you hung the moon


Interlude:
G  D  Am  C


Verse 2:
G                          D
And I remember all them winters
Am                               C
Drinking Woodford 'til we drowned
G                        D
We'd get wind about a party
Am                  C
Bundle up and go to town
G                     D
Never worry about the police
Am                    C
Never worried much at all
G                                D
Miss those nights of reckless glory
Am                         C
And I'd come back if you'd just call


Chorus:
            G
'Cause it's just two hours to get there, babe
D
I can make it back about an hour or so
Am
Hold you close against my skin
  C
I need a little warmth on a night so cold
G
Singing songs we used to sing
    D
The one about the lady in the long, black veil
Am
Should've heard those warning signs
C
Lord I loved to hear you wail
G
High and lonesome, hard and strong
D
Even if it was a little out of tune
Am
Hotter than socks on a Jersey Giant
C
Lord, I thought you hung the moon


Interlude:
G  D  Am  C


Bridge:
Am                       C
I left town when we were over
Am                        C
'Cause it didn't feel the same
Am                       C
And every backroad had a memory
Am                         D
And every memory held your name


Chorus:
     G
It's just two hours to get there, babe
D
I can make it back about an hour or so
Am
Hold you close against my skin
  C
I need a little warmth on a night so cold
G
Singing songs we used to sing
      D
What about the lady in the long, black veil
Am
Should've heard those warning signs
C
Lord I loved to hear you wail
G
High and lonesome, hard and strong
D
Even if it was a little out of tune
Am
Hotter than socks on a Jersey Giant
C
Lord, I thought you hung the moon
