We Were In Love - Toby Keith
Written by Chuck Cannon and Allen Shamblin
Transcribed by: Dirk Cushenbery (dirkcush@pdq.net)

[D]If I could in[A]vent a time[A7] ma[D]chine
[D]Baby we'd [A]both be [A7]seven[D]teen

[bm]Cruising in [A]my first car
[D]Acting like [G]movie stars on [A]Friday night
Do you remember those Friday nights

Chorus:

When we were a [D]rock ready to [D/F#]roll
And there was a [G]fire down in our [A]soul
When all the whole [D]world had to stand[f#m]still
Then turn around [G]us, 'cause that was the [A]deal
And oh how those [f#m]nights went flowing like [bm]wine
When I was all [em]yours and you were all [A]mine
And we were in [D]love, [A]yeah we were in [D]love

[D]I can still [A]see you [A7]when I [D]sleep
[D]And there is a [A]picture [A7]I still [D]keep
[bm]Of you with your [A]hair in the [A7]wind
[D]And me with that [G]crazy grin
Under a [A]summer sky
When dreams were too young to die

Repeat Chorus

[A]I know, [A7]I know it sounds crazy
But baby, you're [D]still the one
So [A]let's find a way to [f#m]bring back the days
When our [G]hearts were forever [A]young

Repeat Chorus

This song is pretty simple 
Intro: G D C D G D C D G D C D G D C D 
  
    G                    D                    C          
   I'm just a middle-aged middle-eastern camel-herdin man 
          D                    G                    D   
I got a little two-bedroom cave here in North Afganistan
                 C                    D             
Things used to be real nice and they got out of hand
       G           
Since they moved in
         D                    C 
They call themselves the Taliban
                   D       
Oooh, oooh the Taliban Baby
             G                   D                  
Now i ain't seen my wife's face since they came here
  C                    D                
They make her wear a scarf over her head 
    G                   D      
That covers her from ear to ear
              C                    D       
She loves the desert and the hot white sand
             G            
But man she's just like me
        D                    C 
No she can't stand, The Taliban 
                   D       
Oooh, oooh the Taliban Baby

chorus:
D                    G                    C         
But you know someday soon wer'e both gonna saddle up
           D               
And it'l be ride camel ride
     G                    D       
My old lady she'll be here with me
             C              
just smilin right by my side
      D                    G           
We should do just fine around Palestine 
         D           
Or maybe Turkmenistan
         C                    D              
We'll bid a fair adieu and flip the finger to 
      G
The taliban 

verse 2:

G                    D         
Now they attacked New York City
           C                    D 
'Cause they thought they could win
                   G                    D                
Said they would stand and fight until the very bloody end
    C                    D                    G      
Mr. Bush got on the phone with Iraq and Iran and said
              D                    C                    D   
Now you son-of-b**ches ypu better not be doing any buisiness
                
With the Taliban
G                    D                    C
So we prayed to Allah with all of our might
                    D                    G       
Until those big U.S. Jets came flying in one night
             D                    C                   
And they dropped little bombs all over their holy land 
 D                    G                    D           
Man you should have seen them run like rabbits they ran 
         C
The Taliban

Little Less Talk (and a lot More Action)
Toby Keith

First the chords should be explained. It is basically a train beat.
When a letter appears, it is the key that the corresponding chord is played in.
The chords follow.

A:  e------------------      E:  e------------------    D:  e-------------------|
    B------------------          B------------------     B----------------------|
    G------------------          G------------------     G-2--2--4--2-----------|

(Intro):  A	A	A	A


 A
I was getting kinda tired
 A
Of her endless chatter
   A
Nothing I could say
  A
Ever seemed to matter
 D
So I took a little drive
 D
Just to clear my head
 A                    A
I saw a flashing neon up ahead
 E
It looked like a place
 E
To find some satisfaction
 A[play first note only; then Rest]
With a little less talk

And a lot more action

        A
I paid the man at the door
       A
And pushed my way to the bar
 A
Shouted for a drink
           A
Over a screaming guitar
    D
A drunk on a stool
          D
Tried to mess with my head
       A
But I didn't even listen
       A
To a word he said
 E
I knew somewhere
     E
Amid all this distraction
   A[repeat of first note...]
Was a little less talk

And a lot more action


[Chorus]
     D
A little less talk
D
 If you please
    A
A lot more loving
A
 Is what I need
 E
Let's get on down
        E
To the main attraction
  A[first note...]
With a little less talk

And a lot more action

        A
Well she was fighting them off
   A
At a corner table
           A
She had a longneck bottle
      A
She was peeling the label
  D
The look on her face
  D
It was perfectly clear
 A
She said somebody please
 A
Get me out of here
   E
The look she shot me
           E
Through the glass refraction
 A[first note...]
Said a little less talk

And a lot more action

[Chorus]

We talk about your work how your boss is a jerk, we

we talk about the troubles you've been havin' with
your brother about your daddy and your mother
and your crazy ex-lover. We talk about your friends
and the places that you've been, we talk about your
skin and the dimples on your chin, the polish on your
toes and the run in your hose and God knows we're gonna
 talk about your clothes.

You know talkin' 'bout you makes me (1, smile 2, grin),

We talk about your dreams and we talk about your
schemes your high school team and your moisturizing
cream, we talk about your nana up in Muncie, Indiana,
 we talk about your grandma down in Alabama. We talk
about your guys of every shape and size the ones that
you despise and the ones you idolize, we talk about
your heart, bout your brains and your smarts and your
medical charts and when you start.

Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, I love this bar.

Same chords as above

We got cowboys, We got truckers,
Broken-hearted fools and suckers, And we got hustlers, We got fighters,
Early-birds and all-nighters,
And the veterans talk about their battle scars.
Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, I love this bar.

Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, I love this bar.

I've seen short skirts, We've got high-techs,
Blue-collared boys and rednecks,
And we got lovers, Lots of lookers,
I've even seen dancing girls and hookers.
And we like to drink our beer from a mason jar.
Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, I love this bar. (Yes I do)

Toby: I like to take her out to dinner, I like a movie now and then.

But I love this bar, It's my kind of place,
Just toein around the dance floor, Puts a big smile on my face,
No cover charge, Come as you are.
Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, I love this bar.
Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, Hmmm, I just love this old bar.

And I will always do my duties no matter what the price.
D
I've counted up the cost, I know the sacrifice.
C
Oh and I don't want to die for you, but if dying's asked of me.
D
I'll bear that cross with honor, 'cause freedom don't come free.

Chorus:
          G
I'm an American Soldier, I'm an American
            Em
Beside my brothers and my sisters I will proudly take a stand.
C
When liberty's in jeopardy, I will always do what's right.
    G                             A 
I'm out here on the front line. Sleep in peace tonight. 
C                  D            G
American Soldier,      I'm an American    Soldier

Em  C  D
