I can’t win for losing you  (US Country 1, 1986)     (video)

 

    G - Bm - G7 - C

 

   G                                        - Bm

1.    Hey, how’ve you been ?          Good to see you again !

G7                                         - C

    Gee, it’s been a long time.

Am                                  - G                       Em   - A

    How’s that new man?       Momma and Dad.

                                        D

    Since I told you goodbye.

 

   G                               - Bm

2.     I’m still the same,          still raising cane,

G7                                       C

    nobody’s worried about me.

Am                           - G                 Em    - A

    I come and I go,         just as I please

                                   D

    since I set myself free.

 

                              C              - Am                        G             - Em

But, I can’t win for losing you,        I just can’t get over you,

                                  A             - C                                  D

being footloose and fancy free        ain’t all it’s cracked up to be.

                                        C       - Am                    G               - Em

And the grass ain’t no greener          here on the other side,

                        C               - D                                C          G 

I might win a heart or two,       but I can’t win for  losing  you.

 

     G                                   - Bm

3.      Well, I’m on my way,          there’s so much to say,

G7                                              C    - Am

    Lord knows that I’ve had my time,          girl, you can bet

G                    Em   - A                                       D

    I’ll never forget           when you used to be mine.    

 

+  CHORUS (2x) ....
