C Dm
I'm down to one key in my pocket,

G
the soles of my shoes ,
C Am
are as thin as my wallet,
Dm G
i been sleeping close to the ground
C Dm
but buried up here in my memory,
C G C
is a head full of living room hits,
G C Am
i wrote about thelma when we were an item,
Dm G C
and i was worth more than two bits,
F C
so i'll sing you a song about thelma,
G C
if you have a quarter to spare,
G C Am
if you had the time or a bottle of wine,
Dm G
that you'd be willing to share,
F C
and later i'll show you a picture,
G C
of thelma when she's in her prime,
G C Am
if you want to see mr i've got the key,
Dm G C
and the bus station locker take dimes,
C Dm
i had me a band in the 60's,
C G C
we played east texas a lot
G C Am
thelma could sing so we moved nashville,
Dm G
and in '68, she got hot,
C Dm
a high flyin' record producer,
C G C
told thelma he'd make her a star,
G C Am
he wined her and dined her and stole her away
Dm G C
and left me with my old guitar,
C Dm
she died last year on my birthday,
C G C
the day that i turned 65,
