Merle Haggard - Anyone Ought To Know
SAittin in a road side tavern the onDly cowboy seated here aAlone
Every night a lonely lady wants to teEll me all about her broken hAome
It's like they can see inside my mind they aDct as if they know I'll undersAtand
I guess they know it when the hear my name and fEeel it when they touch my tremblin hAand
Ahhh but if anyone ought to kDnow
The loneliness of a rolAling stone
It ought to be Eme
I've always been aloAne
If anyone ought to kDnow
About things like hurt and misAery
It ought to be Eme
LBmord in heaven knows it ought to be Ame
If anyone ought to knDow
The loneliness of a rAolling stone
It ought to be Eme
That's the reason I'm all aAlone
If anyone ought to kDnow
About things like hurt and miAsery
It ought to be Eme
BmLord in heaven knows it ought to be Ame

A D A

Sittin in a road side tavern the only cowboy seated here alone

E A

Every night a lonely lady wants to tell me all about her broken home

D A

It's like they can see inside my mind they act as if they know I'll understand

E A

I guess they know it when the hear my name and feel it when they touch my tremblin hand

Ahhh but if anyone ought to know

The loneliness of a rolling stone

It ought to be me

I've always been alone

If anyone ought to know

About things like hurt and misery

It ought to be me

Bm A

Lord in heaven knows it ought to be me

If anyone ought to know

The loneliness of a rolling stone

It ought to be me

That's the reason I'm all alone

If anyone ought to know

About things like hurt and misery

It ought to be me

Bm A

Lord in heaven knows it ought to be me
