MAKEUP AND FADED BLUE JEANS (Merle Haggard) (CAPO 1)
DUET
[D] In downtown Modesto I was workin' the Holiday [G] Inn
I was [D] set with a gig that would last us thoughout the week[A]end
I was [D] signing a new song I wrote on the way into [G] town
When she [D] came in the front door [A] I found her a place to sit [D]down
Hey I knew right away that she liked the words to my [G] song
Cause she [D] stared at the guitar followed my fingers too [A] long
And [D]she had the likeness of a girl I'd seen in a [G] dream
But [D] lights can do wonders with [A] makeup and faded blue [D] jeans
And the last thing I needed was somebody messin' up my [G] mind
So I [D] found a hundred reasons for lookin' away one more [A] time
She could [D] cause me to sing bad and fall out of love with [G] guitars
And to [D] blow all my chances at [A] bein' a big singin' [D] star
And then on the other hand (then on the other hand what?)
With one passin' glance I could tell she was young for her [G] age
Yeah she [D] got to lookin' better as she got down closer to the [A]stage
And as she [D] sipped on her wine I knew just the kind she would [G] be
And [D] somehow I knew she was [A] here to do bad things to [D] me
And the last thing I needed was somebody messin' up my [G] mind
So I [D] found a hundred reasons for lookin' away one more [A] time
She could [D] cause me to sing bad and fall out of love with [G] guitars
And to [D] blow all my chances at [A] bein' a big singin' [D] star (1 PROGRESSION)
I was right....she could [D]cause me to sing bad and fall out of love with [G] guitars
And [D] blow all my chances at [A] bein' a big singin' [D] star
