Melody Dean Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I n[D]ever met a lady
[G]Quite as [A]pretty as [G]Melody Dean
[D]And when I laid my head down [A]on her heart
It beated out your [G]name
[D]And so I had to [A]listen to her [G]heartbeat
Several hundred times
And [D]she was very [A]nice about it
[G]Held my hand and didn't mind

[Verse 2]
[D]I nev[G]er put [D]my foot in [G]the same [A]river twice
I don't like [G]getting wet
[D]You take the good
You take the bad
[A]You take it all
And that is all [G]you get

[Verse 3]
[D]The fact is you would rather I [A]be lonely
In a bathtub with [G]a book
The [D]fact is you would rather I sat [A]pining
On our pictures from [G]New York
New [Cm]York, New [G]York, New York

[Verse 4]
But [D]I g[A]et t[G]orn to pieces
[D]For [A]the stu[G]pidest reasons
[D]All [A]I w[G]ant's to love the one I[D]'m w[A]ith
Just [G]like the song says

[Verse 5]
[D]I don't like picking sides
I [A]don't like sticking
My [G]cherona in a box
[D]I like to spread her out on
different [A]crackers, yeah
I like the way she [G]looks
And [D]when I go to bed at night

[Verse 6]
With [A]Melody undressing in my [G]head
To [D]get to sleep
You know that I would [A]rather be
undressing you in[G]stead
Instead, instead, instead

[Verse 7]
[G]I never [D]met a lady
Quite as [A]pretty as Melody Dean
And [G]even though I know you are
a little bit angry with [D]me
You know that it is you I love
And you I [A]want to get me off
But [G]you can only do that
[D]when you're [G]here
And right now you are [A]not

[Verse 8]
[D]I never met a lady
Quite as [A]pretty as Melody Dean
And [G]even though I know you are
a little bit angry with me
[D]You know that it is you I love
And [A]you I want to get me off
But [G]you can only do that
when you're here

[Interlude 1]
And right now you are not
[G][Bm][A][G]
[A][D][A]
[G][D][A]
[G][D][A]
[G]

[Verse 9]
[D]I never cross the contin[A]ental divide
Without thinking [G]about you
I [D]am [G]a tree that's [D]carved up [G]with her name
[A]She is a warrior tattoo[G]
[A]And [D]the fact is you're selective
About [A]what you can remember
for [G]a start oh
[D]The fact is you're just
jealous as all [A]get out
We can do it in the [G]dark
The dark, the dark, the dark

[Verse 10]
But [D]I g[A]et t[G]orn to pieces f[D]or
[A]the stu[G]pidest reasons
[D]All [A]I wan[G]t's to love the one I'm[D] with
[A]Like Ste[G]phen Stills says

[Verse 11]
I [G]never met [D]a lady
Quite as [G]pretty as [A]Melody [G]Dean
And even [A]though I [D]know you [A]are
[G]a little [D]bit [A]angry with [D]me
You know that it is you I [A]love
And you I want to get me off
But you can only do that
when you're [G]here
And right now [D]you are [A]not

[Verse 12]
[D]I never met a lady
Quite as [A]pretty as Melody Dean
And [G]even though I know you are
a little bit angry with me
You [D]know that it is you I love
And [A]you I want to get me off
But [G]you can only do that
when you're here
And right now you are not

[Verse 13]
[D]I never met a lady
Quite as [A]pretty as Melody Dean
And [G]even though I know you

You [D]know that it is you I love
And [A]you I want to get me off
But [G]you can only do that
when you're here
And right now you are [D]not

[Verse 14]

Quite as [A]pretty as Melody Dean

But [G]you can only do that
when you're here
And right now you are not
