Key: C

Introduction:

difficulty
very easy |||||
C  
Barry Tolbert, Lookout Lane
He was white knuckling a diamond ring
F  
And fumbling for the dome light
C  
Sherry Lynn knows something's up
'Cause Berry ain't ever been stuck
F  
For words like he is tonight
G                                                                 F  
Since they pulled over, her hearts been beatin' faster
G                                                                            F  
Without that song, who knows, he might have never asked
her
C                                                      D  
Simple words put into lines
                                                F  
Just a melody and rhyme
                                                                                C  
But at that moment seemed so strong
C                                              D  
How can a piece of poetry
                                                                  F  
Knock a grown man to his knees
                                                                             C                    G  
And lead him by the heart to where he belongs
F  
Then it came on
C  
The song
C  
Larry Pearson had a crutch
One more was never enough
F  
He'd say I can quit anytime
C  
The whole town knew his name
They'd all say what a shame
F  
He's wastin' away his life
G                                                                      F  
A strangers quarter dropped into that corner jukebox
G                                                                              F  
It's been almost two years and guess what made him stop
C                                                      D  
Simple words put into lines
                                                F  
Just a melody and rhyme
                                                                                C  
But at that moment seemed so strong
C                                              D  
How can a piece of poetry
                                                                  F  
Knock a grown man to his knees
                                                                             C                    G  
And lead him by the heart to where he belongs
F  
Then it came on
C                     D  F  C  G  
The song
C                                                      D  
Simple words put into lines
                                                F  
Just a melody and rhyme
                                                                             C  
But at that moment seemed so strong
C                                              D  
How can a piece of poetry
                                                                  F  
Knock a grown man to his knees
                                                                             C                    G  
And lead him by the heart to where he belongs
F                                    C  F  
Like the song
F                                                    C  
Its more than just a song
