Drop D Tuning

D                   G             D
Surrounded by women watching the TV
  D                  A            D
I asked him how'd he get to be so lucky
        D                    G        D
He said some men have it and some men don't
    D                          A        D
Now hush cause I'm watching my favorite show

D             G    D
Elsa was from Germany
D                          A      D
She loved my songs she was always smiling
         D                A        Bm
She said she had seen all kinds of war
        D                           A                 D
And she used to play guitar but she don't know how anymore


Chorus:
           G                                        D
Lord Don't let me forget all the good things that I know
      D                     A        D
Yeah, the power and the loss of self control
        G                           Bm
How the warm sun feels on my auburn hair
             D                A           D
When I first heard I love you out of thin air
            G                                       D
Lord, don't let me forget all the loved ones that I know
     D                  A                 D
Lord when I die will it feel like I'm alone
         G                                  Bm
So don't look at me sad and say I'm not all there
      D                   A       D
Who's gonna push me in my rolling chair


D               G               D
Frankie said to play some Patsy Cline
      D                      A    D  
And I swear it took her back to a time
           D           G            D
You are my Sunshine or anything she knew
D                    A         D
I watched her as her blue eyes grew


Chorus 2:
        G                             D
So come visit me or take me somewhere new
     D                      A               D
Just sing me the songs that remind me of my youth
        G                         Bm
Or come sit me and tell me what's going on with you
       D                  A          D
We can talk about how the years just flew


Bridge:
     D                           G
Lord help me to be patient, Lord help me to be brave and kind
      D                          A
Cause I know that I'm limited on time
     G                             Bm
Lord show me to be giving and don't let me lose my mind
    D       A              D
Let company not be hard to find



           D                      G       D
So when my time runs out will you hold my hand
     D             A
As I journey to an unknown land
              D                                     Bm
And just like the wind you wont see me, but I'll be there
         D             A      D              D             A      D
Don't forget me and my auburn hair, Don't forget me and my auburn hair


           D
You are my sunshine my only sunshine
            G                    D
You make me happy when skies are grey
             G                    D
You'll never know dear how much I love you
             D       A        Bm
Please don't take my sunshine away
             D       A         A 
Please don't take my sunshine away
