The Good Lord Knows I Tried Billy Joe Shaver
Verse 1:
From the [D]very first hello to the [G]very last goodbye
From [A]here to there and everything bet[D]ween
All i ever did was try my best to [G]keep you satisfied
And all you[A] ever did was make a fool of [D]me
Chorus:
I tried[A] every way i knew to give you [D]everything i had
And all i[E] ever did was try to treat you [A]right
Still the [D]best that i could do was never [G]good enough for you
I couldn't p[A]lease you but the good Lord knows i t[D]ried
Verse 2:
[D] My old friends they tried to warn me but i [G]paid them all no mind
When i [A]see them now we don't have much to [D]say
For you took everything we had,left me [G]nothing but behind
Feelin' [A]like some old forgotten yester[D]day
