Turning Off a Memory
by Merle Haggard [3/4 time]
C F C
You can find me in a dim lighted bar-room
G7
If your cold should ever turn warm
C F C
But the chances of you ever changing
G7 C
Are as slim as your two loving arms
F C
So I'm turning off a memory
G7
As quickly as time will allow
C F G7
I'm turning off a memory
G7 C
And the wine seems to help me somehow
F C
So if I'm lucky I'll someday forget her
G7
When the wine finally takes full control
C F C
It's not much of a future to look to
G7 C
But I can't stand this pain in my soul
F C
So I'm turning off a memory
G7
As quickly as time will allow
C F G7
I'm turning off a memory
G7 C
And the wine seems to help me somehow
