Some Memories Are Better Left Alone chords by Mickey Newbury

Some Memories Are Better Left Alone

A          C#7          D                 Bm
A solitary whippoorwill is singing in the night
E7                                 D      E              A   E  A
I watch until he spreads his wings and he sails into the sky
                 C#7            D                Bm
Somewhere in the distance I can hear his painful song
        A                 E7            A
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           D+            Bm              G#dim
Do you ever have a longing for a pure and simple time
     A             F#m            D                  E7
When all we had between us was a dream and one thin dime
            A               C#7            D                Bm
And we were flat out on the highway with no place to be but gone
     A                 E7            A
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                 C#7      D               Dm
I am lying in the darkness waiting for the dawn
           A            E7           D   Bm A
Lord, some memories are better left alone
