EVERY LITTLE THING (Carlene Carter, Al Anderson)
------------------------------------------------

[Actually in A & B; capo 2.]
[Strum with a lot of downstrokes.]
[The chords in the chorus with a * have a single electric guitar power chord
 at the beginning of the measure.  Chords with ** have noticable electric
 guitar through the whole measure.]

[intro]

G                   G           D                     D
I hear songs on the radio, they might be fast or they might be slow
    D                 D                          G   G
But every song they play's got me thinking 'bout you
  G                   G                   D                  D
I see a fella walking down the street, he looks at me and he smiles real sweet
    D                  D                            G   G
But he don't matter to me 'cause I'm thinking 'bout you

             C*              C                     G*                G
Every little dream I dream about you, every little thought I think about you
D*                       D                 D                      G
Drives me crazy when you go away, I oughta keep you locked up at home
       C*                   C           G*                 G
Like a wild horse I wanna break you, I love you so much I hate you
             D*                D                     D                   G*  G
Every little thing reminds me of you, honey when you leave me here all alone

My tongue gets tied when I try to talk, my knees get weak when I start to walk
So I might as well stay home and keep thinking 'bout you
"The Young and the Restless" on my TV set, it's just like us when we first met
And when they start to kissing, got me thinking bout you

Every little dream I dream about you, every little thought I think about you
Drives me crazy when you go away, I oughta keep you locked up at home
Like a wild horse I wanna break you, I love you so much I hate you
Every little thing reminds me of you, honey when you leave me here all alone

             D*              D                     A*                A
Every little dream I dream about you, every little thought I think about you
E*                       E                 E                      A**
Drives me crazy when you go away, I oughta keep you locked up at home
       D*                   D           A*                 A
Like a wild horse I wanna break you, I love you so much I hate you
             E*                E                     E                   A**
Every little thing reminds me of you, honey when you leave me here all alone
             E*                E                     E                   A**
Every little thing reminds me of you, honey when you leave me here all alone
             E*                E
Every little thing reminds me of you
               E                 G**   G**  D**  D**    A*        A.
Honey when you leave me here all alone            oh-wo-wohhhhhhh
