Someone Told My Story
Merle Haggard - from "The Lonesome Fugitive"
Transcribed by Max Fillmore
(Intro)
A D A A A E7 A A
(Verse 1)
A A7 D
I played a brand new record on the jukebox.
A E
I scarcely could believe the song I heard.
A A7 D
It told of how you left me for another.
A E7 A
It was almost like I'd written every word.
(Chorus)
A D A
Someone told my story in a song.
E
The lyrics told of happiness and home.
A D A
Then it told of how you done me wrong.
E7 A
Someone told my story in a song.
(Instrumental Break)
A D A A A E7 A A
(Verse 2)
A A7 D
The writer must have seen the way ya' done me,
A E
For he told it all and never missed a line.
A A7 D
He told of swinging doors and a jukebox.
A E7 A
And he even knew I almost lost my mind.
(Chorus)
