        A (x02220@1)                                   Bm (x24432@1)       does your conscience get you when your lyin'

        Verse 3
        G (320003@1)            Am (x02210@1)     D (xx0232@1)             G (320003@1) D (xx0232@1)       She received a postcard-sad for her that way

        G (320003@1)          Am (x02210@1)         D (xx0232@1)               G (320003@1)G/f#

           G (320003@1)  E7 (020130@1)       my feet

        Repeat chorus:

        Fadeout on- G///Gmaj7///G///Gmaj7///


         The ~ over the F# chord means to bend the whole
        chord up one fret. If you listen to the record
        you will get what I mean. This is a great album
        to get! Any corrections or comments-email me at
