  A MEMORY LIKE I'M GONNA BE    Tanya Tucker
 
Intro:  A C#m C E "ohhh yeah" A C#m C E

A                              C#m   D                              A      E       
I can hear you smilin' on the phone    bet you thought that I'd be cryin'
A                          C#m          D                            A   E
Go on and tell yourself I done ya wrong   but we both know you'll be ly-in'
F#m                         E   D                          E  
You don't have to have a reason   if your heart is set on leavin'
               A                   C#m    D       
But you'll remember on some rainy day a little simple word or thought
       E                              
Or a birthday card I bought 
        A                            C#m
Just surrender  cause you can't get away
      C                        E                    A   C#m C E 
You never can be free from a memory like I'm gonna be   "mm mmm yeah"
 A                                            D                      A       E
That greener grass that you think ya see "ha" is just a high heeled illusion
 A                    C#m           D                               A   E    
Better count the cost of being free    is it worth all that you're los-ing
F#m                           E    D                                   E    
It may be over but it's not ending    cause there's one thing you're forgetting
          A                   C#m     D
You'll remember on some rainy day   little things we used to do
            E                           
like that night in Baton Rouge 
        A                           C#m
Just surrender cause you can't get away
      C                        E                    A    
You never can be free from a memory like I'm gonna be
 C                               C                 C  
When it all comes back someday don't be surprised on some lonely night
E                          KEY CHANGE    Bb                 E               
  When you close your eyes-             -eyes  lead "oh baby baby baby" 
  D                                                                     
(from a memory) 
        B                           D#m       D
Just surrender cause you can't get away You never can be free 
         F#                  B         E                      D
From a memory like I'm gonna be  "Wo yeah yeah"  "yeah yeah" from a memory 
        B                 D#m            D
Just surrender cause you can't get away You can never be free
         F#                  B   
From a memory like I'm gonna be
