The Song(Chords)

	        
 

C 
Barry Tolbert, Lookout Lane  

He was white knuckling a diamond ring  
F 
And fumbling for the dome light  
C 
Sherry Lynn knows something's up  

'Cause Berry ain't ever been stuck  
F 
For words like he is tonight  
G                         F 
Since they pulled over, her hearts been beatin' faster  
G                             F 
Without that song, who knows, he might have never asked  
her  

C                     D 
Simple words put into lines  
                  F 
Just a melody and rhyme  
                              C-G 
But at that moment seemed so strong  
C                  D 
How can a piece of poetry  
                         F 
Knock a grown man to his knees  
                             C        G 
And lead him by the heart to where he belongs  
F 
Then it came on  
C 
The song  

C 
Larry Pearson had a crutch  

One more was never enough  
F 
He'd say I can quit anytime  
C 
The whole town knew his name  

They'd all say what a shame  
F 
He's wastin' away his life  
G                           F 
A strangers quarter dropped into that corner jukebox  
G                              F 
It's been almost two years and guess what made him stop  

C                     D 
Simple words put into lines  
                  F 
Just a melody and rhyme  
                              C-G 
But at that moment seemed so strong  
C                  D 
How can a piece of poetry  
                         F 
Knock a grown man to his knees  
                             C        G 
And lead him by the heart to where he belongs  
F 
Then it came on  
C        C D F C G 
The song  

C                     D 
Simple words put into lines  
                  F 
Just a melody and rhyme  
                             C-G 
But at that moment seemed so strong  
C                  D 
How can a piece of poetry  
                         F 
Knock a grown man to his knees  
                             C        G 
And lead him by the heart to where he belongs  
F              C F 
Like the song  
F                    C                    
Its more than just a song
