*****DO NOT ADD STRUMMING PATTERNS TO MY TABS*****
Slaid Cleaves - Key Chain
INTRO: G
I had plenty of keys on my key ring
D
A beautiful home, I had everything
C G
With a loving wife and a car to drive
D G
I came home from work every day at five
And one by one I started losing them keys
D
My darling wife, I just couldn't please
C G
My boss got on my nerves one day
D G
I knew that I was on my way
CHORUS:
C G
I lost my wife, I lost my home
D G
Quit my job and set out alone
C G
With just one key on my key chain
D G
I'm gonna start all over again
She finally decided, we just couldn't be
D
She wanted things I just couldn't see
C G
She said, "I'm tired of waiting around"
D G
She took the last train out of town
CHORUS:
C G
I lost my wife, I lost my home
D G
Quit my job and set out alone
C G
With just one key on my key chain
D G
I'm gonna start all over again
INSTRUMENTAL: G D C G D G
Well the bankers came and took the key to my home
D
Just one key left from all I ever owned
C G
I'm turning that key, letting out the clutch
D G
I never did like this town that much
CHORUS:
C G
I lost my wife, I lost my home
D G
Quit my job and set out alone
C G
With just one key on my key chain
D G
I'm gonna start all over again
