C
I can't sleep tonigt 
            F
Thoughts of you will greet the morning light
                  C
Our eyes can meet tonight
                   F
In my dreams i'm gonna say what's right

Dm                       G
Busses trains and cars, never got me far
  C             G       Am
And never got me close no no no
               Dm
Not a jet plane up above
              G
Couldn't take me fast enough
C        G Am    C G Am
Than the speed of love

    C
It seems that through my life
                F
I've been, searching to find you baby
            C
Always a step ahead
           F
Or a day behind

Dm                             G
You know that a will keep, keep on looking for
   C              G       Am
What i had, already been  found baby
          Dm
Then it all came down
G            C     G   Am
At the speed, speed of love

And every time before
When you walked out the door
I couldn't bring myself to say
The things to make you stay
What i'm saying now

              C
If we could meet tonight
                                F
I'd tell you every little thing will be all right
                C
But what i need tonight
                           F
Is that, golden moment to speak my mind

                  Dm
I know what you wanna hear
                    G
So let me make things clear
C           G                   Am
I need you in my life before, i lose my mind
Dm                             
I've been looking all around, 
    G
i couldnt't find you fast enough
C G Am          C G Am
At the speed of love

************** YOU DON'T MESS AROUND WITH ME **************

written and performed by Waylon Jennings.


Capo on the 2nd fret.

Verse 1:
         E
	I blew in from Texas

	And you don't know who i am

	Most of you could care less

	And the rest don't give a damn

	But you might take special notice

	When you take a look at me

	I'm everything you've ever been

	And ever want to be

             A
	My game is the winner take all
           E
	I live on the edges

	So i'm subject to a fall
             B
	I ain't never been a loser

	I ain't never gonna be
              A
	I'm like runnin' in a ringer
          /                   E
	You don't mess around with me


Verse 2:
         E
	I've got money in my pocket

	I've got money in the bank

	If i look like a poor boy

	I've got much more than you think

	I got a woman on my right arm

	Woman on my left

	When it comes to women,Lord

	I just can't help myself

           A
	I know it's not the right thing to do
            E
	But i could never change

	Even if i wanted to
               B
	So if you are a lady

	Anf if you always want to be
                A
	I'm a living lovin' legend
          /                   E
	You don't mess around with me


Verse 3:
          E
	She's got honey drippin' off her lips

	So good you can taste

	A walkin' aphrodisiac

	Too damn good to waste

	Prancin' like a thoroughbred

	Out to win the race
            B
	It don't matter how good lookin'

	Or how good she may be
                   A
	There's just one foregone conclusion
          /                   E
	You don't mess around with me

	She didn't love me anyway
                  A                  D

	The girl i love,up and left me
             A                      E
	She ran away with my best friend
                       A              D
	Comes home at night,for just one hour

	There ain't much that you can do
                    A                D
	Just dig a hole and crawl right in it

	Then pull the ground right in over you

          A                   D
	Life without love is might empty
             A              E
	But confession is good for your soul
             A                         D
	I'd rather have love for just one hour
         A              E                  A
	Then have the world and all it's gold

G  
I'm not here to forget you I'm here to recall 
 
The things we used to say and do 
   Am  
I don't want to get over you 
 D7                    G  
I don't want to get over you 
 
I haunt the same places we used to go 
Alone at a table for two 
   Am  
I don't want to get over you 
 D7                    G  
I don't want to get over you 
 
                                     B7  
They ought to give me the Wurlitzer prize 
 C                      Am                  C  
For all the silver I led slide down the slot 
 G  
Playing those songs sung blue 
 Am  
Help me remember you 
 D7                    G  
I don't want to get over you 
 
А fresh roll of quarters same old song 
Missing you through and through 
 Am  
I don't want to get over you 
 D7                    G  
I don't want to get over you 
 
Repeat #3 
   Am  
I don't want to get over you 
 D7                    G  
I don't want to get over you

written by Steve Seskin and Andre Pessis

performed by Waylon Jennings.


Capo on the 2nd fret.

Verse 1:
   E     A                         E
	It was a picture perfect wedding
                                       A
	We had the whole world at our feet
                                   E
	Everyone thought we were heading
                                A
	Down some lovers easy street
                                       D
	We'd have a house out in the country
                                       A
	A picket fence the whole nine yards
                                         E
	They said our love would last forever

	It was written in the stars


Chorus:
          A
	Wrong
                                     D
	I should have known it all along
                    E
	When the future looks to bright

	Can't be anything but right
          A
	Wrong


Verse 2:
   E      A                E
	I was all but devastated
                                    A
	When she told me we were through
                                  E
	In a while the heartache faded
                             A
	And i found somebody new
                                           D
	I swore that this time would be different
                           A
	I had it all figured out
                                E
	I wouldn't make the same mystakes

	I knew what love was all about


Chorus.


Chorus (bis):
          A
	Wrong
	                        D
	Everything was going strong
	     E
	The sky was always blue

	Thought my dreams had all come true
          A
	Wrong

          A
	Wrong

Verse 1:
          A
	Well the road can be a circus,a death defying act
                                                   E
	But the clowns don't come around no more since the monkeys off my back
            A
	I stand here on the stage,as the house lights fade to black
                               E                         A
	Your love helps me forget,i'm working without a net


Chorus:
          A        D                    A
	Up on the high wire,i hear the crowd begin to call
          D                    E
	Some want you to fly,some want to see you fall
             A
	Now and then i stumble,but i ain't fallen yet
                               E                         A

	I used to depend on some things i did not need
                                      E
	I leaned on some crutches that kept me off my feet

	Standing here without them now,well it scares me half to death
                               E                         A
	Your love helps me forget,i'm working without a net

	Willie you're wild as a Texas blue northern
          E                         D        A
	Ready rolled from the same makins as me
                                          D            A
	I reckon we're gonna ramble till hell freezes over
                              E        A
	Willie the wandering gypsy and me


Verse 3:
         A                     D
	Ladies we surely will take off your favors
             A                                     E
	And we'll surely warn you there never will be
           A                             D            A
	A single soul living that could put brand or handle
                                 E        A
	On Willie the wandering gypsy and me


Verse 4:
         A                      D
	Dance on the mountain,shout in the canyons
          A                                    E
	Swarm in a loose heard like a wild buffalo
          A                        D            A
	Jamming our heads full of figures and angles
                                     E         A
	And telling us stuff that we already know


Chorus(x2).

***************** WILL THE WOLF SURVIVE ******************

written by David Hidalgo and Louie Perez

performed by Waylon Jennings.


Verse 1:
         B
	Through the chill of winter

	Running across a frozen lake

	Hunters hard right on his trail

	All odds are against him
                  A          E
	With a family to provide for
                  A            B
	But one thing he must keep alive
                          E     A
	Will the wolf survive?
                          E
	Will the wolf survive?


Verse 2:
          B
	Drifting by the roadside

	Climbs a strong and aging face

	Wants to make some honest pay

	Losing to the rainstorm
                  A                   E
	He's got two strong legs to guide him
               A              B
	Two strong arms keep him alive
                          E
	Will the wolf survive?


Bridge:
          E               A      E
	Standing in the pouring rain
                         A            E
	All alone in a world that's changed
          A                   D       A
	Running scared now forced to hide
              E                   A          E
	In a land where he once stood with pride
                   B                   A
	But he'll find his way by the morning light


Verse 3:
         B
	Sounds across the nation

	Coming from your hearts and minds

	Battered drums and old guitars

	Singing songs of passion
                   A                   E
	It's the truth that they all look for
          A                   B
	Something they must keep alive
                          E     A
	Will the wolf survive?
                          E     A
	Will the wolf survive?

                          B
	Will the wolf survive?
