everything here.)

This same riff is used for the verse but with chords.

Full G:--o-- G with F#:--o-- Cadd9:--o--
       --o--           --o--       --o--

Here's the song:

G5    G/f#    C5   D5
I asked her to stay here with me a while,  Oh she said no
These words mean nothing these thoughts won't fly, O she said no
And where would this lead us to anyway, O she said no
Well I crossed the line in half the time and that's insane
O she said

C5   G5    D5    D5    C5   G5   D(not C5 as above)
Hey now keep yourself in town, won't you?
And daylight keep yourself in sight, won't you?

G5   G/f#   C5 9   D5
So I asked her to come back some other time,  O she said no
These words ring holloow these thoughts aren't mine, O she said-

C5    G5    D5    D5    C5   G5    C5
Hey now keep yourself in town, won't you?
And daylight keep yourself in sight, won't you?

outro:
G5    C5   D5   G5   C5   D5
So I'm sitting here and waiting my turn, Oh well maybe next time
G5   C5  D5    E5   C5  D5   G5
So I'm sitting here and waiting my turn, Oh well Maybe next time
E5   C5   D5  G5  E5   C5  D5  G5
Maybe next time,  I will learn, oh yes
Maybe next time I will learn.
