Local Memory chords by Willie Nelson

Chords with lyrics

E MajorE                   A augmentedA
The lights go out each evening at eleven
E MajorE                     A augmentedA
And up and down our block there's not a sound
E MajorE                      A augmentedA
I close my eyes and search for peaceful slumber
D MajorD             E MajorE        A augmentedA
And just then the local mem'ry comes around

D MajorD                        A augmentedA
Piles of blues against the door to make sure sleep will come no more
A augmentedA                     E MajorE
He's the hardest working mem'ry in this town
D MajorD                      A augmentedA
Turns out happiness againand then lets loneliness back in
D MajorD             E MajorE        A augmentedA
And each night the local mem'ry comes around

E MajorE                   A augmentedA
Each day I say tonight I may escape her
E MajorE                   A augmentedA
I pretend I'm happy and never even a frown
E MajorE                        A augmentedA
But at night I close my eyes and pray sleep finds me
D MajorD          E MajorE        A augmentedA
But again the local mem'ry comes around

Rids the house of all good news then sets out my crying shoes
What a faithful mem'ry never lets me down
We're both up till light of day chasing happiness away
And each night the local mem'ry comes around
And each night the local mem'ry comes around
