Thelma - Reckless Kelly

Intro: C majorC
   C majorC           DmDm
I'm down to one key in my pocket,
   C majorC      G+G    C majorC
the bus station locker downtown,
   G+G
the soles of my shoes ,
    C majorC     A minorAm
are as thin as my wallet,
 DmDm              G+G
i been sleeping close to the ground

   C majorC          DmDm
but buried up here in my memory,
   C majorC      G+G      C majorC
is a head full of living room hits,
 G+G            C majorC     A minorAm
i wrote about thelma when we were an item,
  DmDm      G+G      C majorC
and i was worth more than two bits,

    FF           C majorC
so i'll sing you a song about thelma,
  G+G          C majorC
if you have a quarter to spare,
  G+G          C majorC     A minorAm
if you had the time or a bottle of wine,
   DmDm         G+G
that you'd be willing to share,
  FF           C majorC
and later i'll show you a picture,
  G+G             C majorC
of thelma when she's in her prime,
  G+G         C majorC      A minorAm
if you want to see mr i've got the key,
    DmDm     G+G      C majorC
and the bus station locker take dimes,

  C majorC          DmDm
i had me a band in the 60's,
  C majorC      G+G    C majorC
we played east texas a lot
 G+G          C majorC     A minorAm
thelma could sing so we moved nashville,
  DmDm        G+G
and in '68, she got hot,
  C majorC         DmDm
a high flyin' record producer,
    C majorC     G+G      C majorC
told thelma he'd make her a star,
   G+G             C majorC     A minorAm
he wined her and dined her and stole her away
  DmDm      G+G     C majorC
and left me with my old guitar,

  C majorC          DmDm
she died last year on my birthday,
   C majorC    G+G     C majorC
the day that i turned 65,
G+G           C majorC      A minorAm
most have forgotten including her fans,
    DmDm         G+G
but i'm keeping her memory alive,
   C majorC           DmDm
cuz i've got this key in my pocket,
   C majorC     G+G C majorC
i've had since '72,
   G+G             C majorC     A minorAm
i've built her a shrine in that locker downtown,
    DmDm      G+G        C majorC
and i think she'd be pleased if she knew

    FF           C majorC
so i'll sing you a song about thelma,
  G+G           C majorC
if you have a quarter to spare,
  G+G           C majorC     A minorAm
if you have the time or a bottle of wine,
   DmDm         G+G
and you'd be willing to share,
 FF          C majorC
later i'll show you a picture,
  G+G            C majorC
of thelma when she's in her prime,
  G+G        C majorC      A minorAm
if you wanna see mr i've got the key,
    DmDm     G+G       C majorC
and the bus station locker takes dimes

   G+G       C majorC      A minorAm
if you wanna see mr i've got the key
    DmDm      G+G      C majorC
and the bus station locker takes dimes
