Imagine that..another Merle song...This one's also >from the CD Merle Haggard, His Best, MCA Records...Ah Downtown Modesto...gotta love it! MAKEUP AND FADED BLUE JEANS (Merle Haggard) (CAPO 1) * = DUET D G In downtown Modesto I was workin' the Holiday Inn D A I was set with a gig that would last us thoughout the weekend D G I was signing a new song I wrote on the way into town D A D When she came in the front door I found her a place to sit down G Hey I knew right away that she liked the words to my song D A Cause she stared at the guitar followed my fingers too long D G And she had the likeness of a girl I'd seen in a dream D A D But lights can do wonders with makeup and faded blue jeans G * And the last thing I needed was somebody messin' up my mind D A So I found a hundred reasons for lookin' away one more time D G She could cause me to sing bad and fall out of love with guitars D A D And to blow all my chances at bein' a big singin' star And then on the other hand (then on the other hand what?) G With one passin' glance I could tell she was young for her age D A Yeah she got to lookin' better as she got down closer to the stage D G And as she sipped on her wine I knew just the kind she would be D A D And somehow I knew she was here to do bad things to me G * And the last thing I needed was somebody messin' up my mind D A So I found a hundred reasons for lookin' away one more time D G She could cause me to sing bad and fall out of love with guitars D A D And to blow all my chances at bein' a big singin' star (1 PROGRESSION) D G I was right....she could cause me to sing bad and fall out of love with guitars D A D And blow all my chances at bein' a big singin' star
