Jake La Botz - used to be (tabs and lyrics by Nickey Whitfield)
(Capo on 3 fret)
Basically  D-  A- G  
DI used to have a woman in my home
ALong long time ago
AAnd I still recall that gal
DThough she's been a long time gone
GShe might have stayed
But what I had to Dgive
Was more like Glove
DNow all I Ahave
Is a Gused to be and ain't no Dmore
I used to have music in my home
Long long time ago
And I still recall that song
Though it's been a long time gone
I try to sing it yet
But it comes out in soughs and moans
And now all I have
Is a used to be and ain't no more
Well, there used to be Apictures upon the wall
And there Gused to be G7kids runnin' Dround in the hall
And there Aused to be more than just one chair
Cause when GI had G7friends they would Dvisit me here
And there Gused to be a cross made of gold
DHanging on the mirror that GI since broke
DBut now all I Ahave
Is a Gused to be and ain't no Dmore
They used to bring mail to my home
Long long time ago
And I still recall those letters
Though they've been a long time gone
But how can they bring the mail
When the numbers on the house are gone
And now all I have
Is a used to be and ain't no more
I used to have a bible in my home
A long long time ago
And I still recall that book
Though it's been a long time gone
And it's been so long since I called the lord
I'm afraid he won't respond
And now all I have
Is a used to be and ain't no more

I used to have a woman in my home

Long long time ago

And I still recall that gal

Though she's been a long time gone

She might have stayed

But what I had to give

Was more like love

Now all I have

I used to have music in my home

Long long time ago

And I still recall that song

Though it's been a long time gone

I try to sing it yet

But it comes out in soughs and moans

And now all I have

Is a used to be and ain't no more

Well, there used to be pictures upon the wall

And I still recall that book

Though it's been a long time gone

And it's been so long since I called the lord

I'm afraid he won't respond

And now all I have
