[Intro 1]
[G][Bm]
[C][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Oh, I used to wish I was a hard line taker,
and they'd say,
[Bm]"Six to one a half dozen'll break her",
'till [C]I fell in love with a young
man who sang [G]the blues
Oh, bless my daddy, he warned me well
He'd whisper in my ear and say, "Now [Bm]look out,
gal,
There's [C]al ways a ne'er do well
gonna call you [G]the fool"

[Verse 2]
[Chorus:] [C]He said, "you'll
never learn to [G]fish
on a bor[Am]rowed [G]line
You'll nev[C]er learn [G]to write if you're walk
[Am]in' 'round cry[G]in'
And it's a [C]pity [G]that you're lov[Am]er died [G]young,
but,
You'll [Cm]never get tired of livin' [G]alone".

[Verse 3]
So, now [G]I dream of the lover
that I don't know
[Bm]It's safer this way ''cause I don't have to go,
oh, [C]and he
Won't come,
so nobody goes [G]away
Sometimes I wish for
the warmth of his hand
Take a [Bm]look in these [G]eyes
and understand
I'm just a [C]little too old to be a-learnin' the the rules [G]of the game
[C][G][Am][G]
[C][G][Am][G][C][G][Am][G]
[Cm]

[Verse 4]
[G][Chorus]
[Bm]Oh,[G]
[C][G]
[Bm][G]
[C][G]
maybe
I could take him to Mexico
[Bm]We'd kick our heels in the warm
cloudy [G]gulf
He'd sing a [C]song about the
weather in the Poconos;
This lover that I don't [G]know
Then two hearts would pound
'stead of one in the night
I'd [Bm]learn [G]to fish with my own line
[C]Catch my dream and hope that line would hold

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][G]
[Am][G][C][G][Am][G][C]
[G][Am][G][Cm]

[Verse 5]
[G][Chorus]
No, I [Cm]never get tired of livin' [G]alone
Sometimes my feet [Cm]get cold,
when I'm [G]livin' alone,

[Outro 1]
[C]
