Please Listen to Me, Once in Awhile.--©by Verne Garrison-- 9-2-04
(or: Please Don't Talk Over Me Anymore)

Believe it sounds best with capo 2


((E7)) Please don’t talk over me no (any) ((A)) more
((A)) Let me get a word in 
((E7)) Once in a ((A)) while
((D)) I’m slower than once ((A)) before
((E7)) Please listen to me
Once in a ((A)) while

((E7)) The years have slowed me ((A)) down
((A)) My thoughts are clear
((E7)) But my lips are ((A)) slow
((D)) My words drop off to the ((A)) ground
((E7)) Please let me finish
Once in a ((A)) while.

((E7)) You mean well, I ((A)) know
((A)) And want the best for ((E7)) me, in your ((A)) heart
((D)) I try hard not to ((A)) show
((E7)) Just how fast, I’m falling a ((A)) part
