"Scars and Souvenirs"
written and recorded by: Max Stalling and Mark David Manders
CD entitled "Wide Afternoon"
Blind Nello Records
Its been (D) fifteen some odd years (G) since he lost aunt (D) Lil
He plays Russian Roulette with memories, (A7) nothing but time to kill
He's too (D) old to work his cattle, too (G) stubborn to stay in (D) bed
Each morning over coffee he (A7) turns to her picture and he (D) says
CHORUS
Oh, I've been (G) better, I've been (D) worse a time or two
I got (A7) two bloodshot eyes and that's (D) enough to see me through
Fair to (G) midlin', con-(D) sidering
(A7) Life's mostly (G) scars and souven- (D) irs
There's wrinkles on his face and (G) wrinkles on his (D) clothes
He wears a little thinner as each (A7) day unfolds
He (D) swears he'll live forever (G) just to spite his (D)health
But it takes Christian Brothers Brandy to (A7) reassure (D) himself
CHORUS
( 8 bar break)
Well a pictures worth a thousand words and money (G) earned is money (D) spent
Bless us O'Lord for these thy gifts, I (A7) know not where they went
Now the (D) postman brings his pension and the (G)county brings his (D)meals
And I drop by from time to time and (A7) ask him how he (D) feels
CHORUS
