MERLE HAGGARD - It's Been A Great Afternoon
[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A
Last night we had a hell raisin' time
D A
Nippin' on tequila and suckin' on limes
A
Sunrise chased the good times away
B7 E7
And good morning would have been the wrong thing to say
[Verse 2]
A
'Cause the poundin' in the top of my head
D A
Hey, didn't leave me any too soon
A F#7
I can't say we've had a good morning
D7 E7 A
But babe it's been a great afternoon
[Bridge]
D7 A
Well, you nursed me through the morning while I was really down
B7 E7
Then one rowdy afternooner got me up and around
[Verse 3]
A
Yes, last night we had one hell raisin' time
D A
But today won't be forgotten too soon
A F#7
I can't say we've had a good morning
D7 E7 A
Oh, but babe it's been a great afternoon, yes sir
[Solos]
