Some Memories Are Better Left Alone

A augmentedA     C#7C#7     D MajorD         B minorBm
A augmentedA solitary whippoorwill is singing in the night
E7E7                 D MajorD   E MajorE       A augmentedA  E MajorE A augmentedA
I watch until he spreads his wings and he sails into the sky
         C#7C#7      D MajorD        B minorBm
Somewhere in the distance I can hear his painful song
    A augmentedA         E7E7      A augmentedA
He said some memories are better left alone

Have you ever seen a freight train rolling down the track
Eighty wheels on a thread of steel never looking back
Even when I was young it still chilled me to the bone
Yes some memories are better left alone

    D MajorD      D MajorD+      B minorBm       G#dimG#dim
Do you ever have a longing for a pure and simple time
   A augmentedA       F# minorF#m      D MajorD         E7E7
When all we had between us was a dream and one thin dime
      A augmentedA        C#7C#7      D MajorD        B minorBm
And we were flat out on the highway with no place to be but gone
   A augmentedA         E7E7      A augmentedA
Yes, some memories are better left alone

Well I feel just like that whippoorwill singing in the night
Trying once again to sleep I turn out the light
Lying in the darkness I am waiting for the dawn
Yes some memories are better left alone

A augmentedA         C#7C#7   D MajorD        DmDm
I am lying in the darkness waiting for the dawn
      A augmentedA      E7E7      D MajorD  B minorBm A augmentedA
Lord, some memories are better left alone
