      Picker's Lament

Capo: 5

[Intro]: C   G   Am 
         F   G   C


               C            G             Am
[Verse]: Well I came here to see you this mornin',

            F               G            C
And they told me that you'd moved away.

        C          G          Am
I was hopin' that I'd get to see you,

F             G            C
We had many things left to say.

C               G           Am
We played 20 years on the road then,

        F       G            C
Many places I can't quite recall.

C                         G           Am
It was the best of times then and I'd do it again,

        F          G            C
But time robs the choice from us all.


[Break]: C        G       Am      F       G       C


   C              G              Am
I guess that the boys have all drifted away,

       F            G            C
I guess that we'll never quite know

     C                   G         Am
But I'm hopin' they're playin' in some little bar,

     F            G            C
It makes me feel good to think so.


Doo do doo 2x: C        G       Am      F       G       C


        D               A        Bm    Bm/A
Well I came here this mornin' to see you

             G           A       D
I've been travelin' from so far away

       D     A       Bm     Bm/A
I needed to see you just one more time

    G        A               D
I needed to know what you'd say

   D               A                  Bm     Bm/A
Did we ever make hearts sore with feeling?

        G             A           D
Did we ever bring a tear to their eye?

          D             A                Bm       Bm/A
Were the songs that we played just some vague masquerade

          G             A           D
As we'd grab for their money and ride?


Doo do doo: D   A       Bm   Bm/A       G       A       D


        D            A            Bm     Bm/A
Well I came here to see you this mornin',

          G             A           D
But they told me that you'd moved away.

        D         A           Bm    Bm/A
I was hopin' that I'd get to see you,

    G         A            D
We had many things left to say.
