(Capo on 3)

Intro.:  (G) (D) x 2

Sweet (G)Emmylou, I blew the (D)dust off of you
You're the only (G7)one who knows what I'm (C) goin' through
Like the (G)hickory wind, he's (D)gone again, sweet (G)Emmylou (D)

Sweet (G)Emmylou, as the needle (D)runs through you
The way the (G7)pain shines through, I know you've (C)been there too
Those sad (G) melodies, oh how they (D)comfort me
Sweet (G)Emmylou

(Chorus)
I (C)hate to bother you again, last time you helped my poor heart mend
Then he (G)came along
So I (C)put your records all away, thought happy songs was all I'd play
But (D)I was wrong, oh, I was wrong

Inst.:  | (G)  | (D)  | (G7)  | (C)  | (G)  | (D)  | (G)  | (D) ---

Sweet (G)Emmylou, what are we (D)gonna do
It's only been a (G7)week or two, and he's found (C) someone new
Look like it's (G)gonna be, another night of (D)you and me
Sweet (G)Emmylou

(Chorus)
I (C)hate to bother you again, last time you helped my poor heart mend
Then he (G)came along
So I (C)put your records all away, thought happy songs was all I'd play
But (D)I was wrong, oh, I was wrong
