Numbers On The Cars chords

[Intro]
G A D


[Verse 1]
G                 A             D
Stopped by that house on Ezma Lake
G              A                        D       A      G
Sittin in his easy chair, watchin the Sunday evening race
G              A                    D
Tells me my grandmas in the other room
G                    A             D     A         G
Guess he forgot we laid her down, be a year come June


[Chorus]
G                               A
Then he mumbles about Vietnam, he don’t know who the hell I am
          Bm               A                G
But the drivers, well he tells me who they are
Em                     A             D
He still knows the numbers on the cars


[Verse 2]

G               A                D
Try to get him out like we used to
       G                     A                          D         A      G
Now I load the truck and I drive the boat, cause their ain’t much he can do
G                     A                Bm
Cast him a line and watched it as it sank
                G                  A        D        A             G
Thinkin how he used to talk for hours, now he just stares at the bank


[Chorus]
G
He used to know every stump in this fishin hole
A                                               Bm              A               G
Now he probably thinks we’re in Mexico, but he knows his way around that boat, even in the dark
Em                    A             D
He still knows the numbers on the cars


[Hook]
             G                  A
Well no he ain’t all there, but I don’t care
     D                    A         G
My minds still full of memories of him
        G                     A
And he may not know all the words to the songs
         D                    A             G
But he knows Merle Haggards voice when he hears it


[Verse 3]
G                 A            D
Stopped by that house on Ezma lake
G                 A                    D      A      G
With a couple of tickets to go see a Sunday evening race
G                    A                    Bm
As we watched those cars fly around the track
G                     A                      D       A          G
I asked the Lord for just one more time to bring my old friend back


[Chorus]
G                                  A
Then somewhere around lap 23, the old man turned and smiled at me
            Bm             A                G
And for a moment, I know he knows where we are
Em                          A
Cause he still knows the numbers
G                     A
He still knows the numbers
Em                    A             D
He still knows the numbers on the cars
