MERLE HAGGARD - It's Been A Great Afternoon
A
Last night we had a hell raisin' time
D A
Nippin' on tequila and suckin' on limes
D7
Sunrise chased the good time away
B7 E7
And good morning would have been the wrong thing to say
A
'Cause the poundin' in the top of my head
D A
Hey didn't leave me any too soon
B7
I can't say we've had a good morning
D7 E7 A
But babe it's been a great afternoon
D A
Well you nursed me through the morning while I was really down
B7 E7
Then one rowdy afternooner got me up and around
A
Yes last night we had one hell raisin' time
D A
But today won't be forgotten too soon
B7
I can't say we've had a good morning
D7 E7 A
Oh but babe it's been a great afternoon, yes sir
(SOLOS)
D A
Well you nursed me through the morning while I was really down
B7 E7
Then one rowdy afternooner got me up and around
A
Yes last night we had one hell raisin' time, (He He)
D A
But today won't be forgotten too soon
B7
I can't say we've had a good morning
D7 E7 A
But dang it's been a great afternoon
