Teach Me To Forget chords - Merle Haggard

See also: Haggard Merle Lyrics

Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson both recorded it.  I'm not sure
who wrote it but it has a "Willie" sound to me.

"D" You taught me how to love with "A7" all my heart
With all my soul I trusted "D" you
And now you say we'll have to "A" live apart
"A7" A thing I don't know how to do.

"G" You say someday I'd find somebody new
"D" and I'd have not one "A7" regret
"D" But stay a while if what you "A7" say is true
Stay and teach me to "D" forget.


You taught me how to worship "A7" you alone
And now you say you'll have to "D" go
And people call on the "A" telephone
"A7" just to say I told you so.

"G" I know now that I only learned to live
"D" on the night when first "A7" we met
"D" God above will teach me "A7" to forgive
But stay and teach me to "D" forget
"A7" Please stay and teach me to "D" forget.
