The Good Lord Knows I Tried chords - Billy Joe Shaver



Verse 1:
                  D                       G
	From the very first hello to the very last goodbye
              A                               D  
	From here to there and everything between
                                           G
	All i ever did was try my best to keep you satisfied
                    A                            D
	And all you ever did was make a fool of me

	
Chorus:
                A                             D  
	I tried every way i knew to give you everything i had
                  E                              A  
	And all i ever did was try to treat you right
                   D                              G
	Still the best that i could do was never good enough for you
                     A                                    D  
	I couldn't please you but the good Lord knows i tried


Verse 2:
      D                                             G     
	My old friends they tried to warn me but i paid them all no mind
                A                                  D
	When i see them now we don't have much to say
                                                G   
	For you took everything we had,left me nothing but behind
                 A                             D 
	Feelin' like some old forgotten yesterday
