Borrowed Angel
Recorded by Mel Street
Verse 1:
Her (D)fingers feel so (G)gentle,  with her (D)hand in mine
Her hair feels like (Bm)silk,  on my (E)arm  (A)
Her (D)lips tell me so (G)tenderly,  shes (D)mine alone
(G)Until we part to (D)night,  and (A)she goes (D)home
CHORUS
(A)Borrowed angel be-(G)longs to some one (D)else
I (E)love my borrowed angel,  I (A)just can't help my self
That (D)ring on her (G)finger,  (D)don't belong to me
But she (G)loves me and I (D)know she'll save
     some (A)borrowed time for (D)me
Verse 2:
I (D)wish that I could (G)have her,  more than (D)just a night
We can't go on like (Bm)this,  it isn't (E)right  (A)
When that (D)lonesome feeling (G)comes,  knocking (D)on my door
I'll (G)call my borrowed (D)angel,  to (A)ease the pain once (D)more
REPEAT CHORUS
TAG:
But she (G)loves me and I (D)know she'll save
     some (A)borrowed time for (D)me

SMOKEY MOUNTAIN MEMORIES
(Earl Thomas Conley)

Recorded by: Mel Street

CHORUS:
[1] Smokey Mountain Memories
[6m] 'Bout my home in Tennessee
[4] Yesterday keeps calling me
[5] Calling me hom-om-ome
[1] Mountains rising in my soul
[6m] Higher than the dreams I've known
[4] Empty eyes - they cling to me, like
[5] Smokey Mountain Mem-o-[1] ries

An old gray [1] man with a dog
Asleep at his feet
Plays a [2m] worn out fiddle
Full of [6m] mel-o-dies
He [1] smiles with his eyes
But the [6m] lines on his face
[2m] Told me as much
As the [5] tunes he [1] played;
Talkin' 'bout my:

Note. Remaining verses have same chords as 1st verse.

[1] Smokey Mountain Mem-o-ries
[6m] Pretty girl's in Tennessee
[4] I was such a fool to leave
[5] Leave her all a-lon-one
[1] Think about her in my dreams
[6m] I wonder if she thinks of me
[4] I always hold her close to me
[5] In my Smokey Mountain Mem-o-[1]-ries

[1] So mister, play your fiddle, please
[6m] Play some mountain mem-o-ries
[4] I've been down a lonely road
[5] So far from ho-om-ome
[1] Nothing left to hold onto
[6m] I made some plans but they fell thru
[4] Now there's nothing left for me
[5]But my Smokey Mountain Mem-o-[1]-ries

[1] Smokey Mountain Memories
[6m] 'Bout my home in Tennessee
[4] Yesterday keeps calling me
[5] Calling me hom-om-ome
[1] Mountains rising in my soul
[6m] Higher than the dreams I've known
F-A-D-E-S...

I Met A Friend Of Yours Today
(Wayland Holyfield/Bob McDill)

Yes I know I'm late getin' home tonight
Can supper wait, I guess I've lost my appetite
Yeah you can fix me a drink oh, anything's okay
Oh by the way I met a friend of yours today

I was workin' on the other side of town
And comin' home I thought I'd stop and have a round
And in this bar I heard someone speak your name
And that's how I met a friend of yours today

I listened for awhile and I could tell
That that stranger he knew you much too well
And I introduced myself and you should have seen his face
Oh what a shame I met a friend of yours today

Please don't cry woman 'cause it's too late for tears
Yeah, I'm sorry too 'cause it hurts after all these years
And ain't it sad a love like ours should end this way
And all because I met a friend of yours today

LOVIN' ON BACK STREETS
Recorded by Mel Street
[D] We try to pick the most unlikely [G] places
[D] Where no one's out to know us by our [A7] name
[D] And for awhile we share the sweet af-[G] fection
That makes it worth the [D] sorrow [A7] and the [D] shame.
[P] Of lovin' on [G] back streets and livin' on [D] Main
Sufferin' hell through the [G] daylignt
For the [E] heaven, darkness [A7] brings
Two hearts in the [G] shadows, tradin' passion for [D] pain
[G] Of lovin' on [D] back streets [A7] and living on [D] Main.
In the mornin' when I face the one who owns me
And she confronts me with some things I can't explain
Then once again I'll hate my self for living
And wonder just how long my mind can stand the strain.
CHORUS
TAG: Lovin' on back streets and living On Main.
