Ready As I'll Never Be Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I [Am]felt you call[C]ing, I saw you [Em]start
[Am]From the old town movies to the
[G]bars on [F]the boulevard
The [G]bells were [C]ringing,
for a gypsy [Em]soul
Straight to [Am]the smart mouth
little [G]girl from semin[F]al
All you out[C]laws, and the Opry [G]queens
They [Am]wrapped those golden [G]arms
around the baby of the [F]family
To stand be[Am]side you then was
more than [G]enough
I always [F]was and al[Dm]ways [F]will be looking up

[Verse 2]
So gather [C]'round now
It's time [G]to sing
It's [Am]bittersweet,
but it's a [G]hell of a silver lin[F]ing
I tell the same ol' [C]stories
Ya'll get your [G]wings
And I get [Am]better every [G]time
I kiss a [F]weather cheek
And watching doves [C]fly
Sooner [G]than me
I guess [F]I'm ready [G]or ready
as I'll never [C]be

[Verse 3]
The [C]snow don't fall on the Willcox
And the [G]whippoorwill don't lie
Are the [Am]two things you can count [G]on
And if you blink,
[F]you're gonna miss it twice
Even [C]if I saw it coming
Even if I wanted to
You're just [Am]going to the one place left
That [F]I can't follow you

[Verse 4]
So gather 'round [C]now
It's time [G]to sing
It's [Am]bittersweet,
but it's a [G]hell of a silver lin[F]ing
I tell the same [C]ol' stories
Ya'll get [G]your wings
And I get [Am]better every [G]time
that I don't [D]know

[Verse 5]
Ain't [F]no depts to repay
Even if you're [G]light years away
May the [G#dim]circle be unbr[E]oken
Let [Am]it breathe through you
So one [G]sweet [D]day
Whoa, happy [F]day

[Verse 6]
Gather [C]'round now
It's time [G]to sing
It's [Am]bittersweet,
but it's a [G]hell of a silver lin[F]ing
I tell the same ol' [C]stories
Ya'll get your [G]wings
And I'll get [Am]better every [G]time I kiss
a [F]weather cheek
And watching [C]doves fly soon[G]er than me
I guess [G#dim]I'm ready,
or ready as [E]I'll never [Am]be[G][F]
I'm [Fm]ready as I'll never [C]be
