MAKEUP  AND FADED BLUE JEANS (Merle Haggard)     (CAPO 1)
								           *  =  DUET
[D] In downtown Modesto I was workin' the Holiday [G] Inn      

I was [D] set with a gig that would last us thoughout the week[A]end

I was [D] signing a new song I wrote on the way into [G] town

When she [D] came in the front door [A] I found her a place to sit [D]down

Hey I knew right away that she liked the words to my [G] song

Cause she [D] stared at the guitar followed my fingers too [A] long

And [D]she had the likeness of a girl I'd seen in a [G] dream

But [D] lights can do wonders with [A] makeup and faded blue [D] jeans

* And the last thing I needed was somebody messin' up my [G] mind

So I [D] found a hundred reasons for lookin' away one more [A] time

She could [D] cause me to sing bad and fall out of love with [G] guitars

And to [D] blow all my chances at [A] bein' a big singin' [D] star

And then on the other hand (then on the other hand what?)

With one passin' glance I could tell she was young for her [G] age

Yeah she [D] got to lookin' better as she got down closer to the [A]stage

And as she [D] sipped on her wine I knew just the kind she would [G] be

And [D] somehow I knew she was [A] here to do bad things to [D] me

* And the last thing I needed was somebody messin' up my [G] mind

So I [D] found a hundred reasons for lookin' away one more [A] time

She could [D] cause me to sing bad and fall out of love with [G]  guitars

And to [D] blow all my chances at [A] bein' a big singin' [D] star   (1 PROGRESSION)

I was right....she could [D]cause me to sing bad and fall out of love with [G] guitars

And [D] blow all my chances at [A]  bein' a big singin' [D] star
