Am D G Am
[Verse 1]
Am
A jukebox introduced us when the
G Am
60's were still young,
Am
If you got the money Honey got
G Em
my nickels one by one,
Em D C
I tried to imitate that song,
C D G
It's not right but Lefty's gone,
[Chorus]
G D Em Bm Am
And always late breaks my heart
D
And every song he sang I played
G Em
the part,
Em
I heard he was sad and lived
D C
alone,
C D
It's not right but Lefty's
G
gone,
[Instrumental]
G Am D G (stop) Am
[Verse 2]
Am
He played the fair in Dallas one
year
G Am
In the cold October rain,
Am
Some folks stayed home in warm
G Em
But he sang just the same,
Em
I caught a chill before I got
D C
home,
C D G
It's not right but Lefty's gone,
[Chorus]
G D Em Bm Am
And always late breaks my heart
D
And every song he sang I played
G Em
the part,
Em
I heard he was sad and lived
D C
alone,
C D
It's not right but Lefty's
G Em
gone,
G
Em
It don't seem like he was around
D C
that long,
C D G
It's not right but Lefty's gone.
