 Well, there you go.  The timing is probably off, as is exactly how many notes are played.
 I'm not exactly sure about the tuning (I've never seen them play live) but it sounds right.
 
 
 Lyrics:
 
 Yes he wore a cowboy hat
 Each bone broken in his back
 All the money and all the gold
 Couldn't buy my love at eight years old
 
 I'm in love with a girl whose wrong for me
 Ask her and she will disagree
 Her father was a smalltown man
 With smalltown dreams and small town hands
 But,
 
 I was there when there was nobody home
 Please believe me when I say I don't know
 Gone for good infact but what does it mean
 Year to year they always _______?
 
 Is it enough to just look at her
 Whole world on a silver platter
 What's that but that for me
 If I was set it's consience free
 
 Won round one but it's not over
 He don't care cause he don't know her
 Too long it's not the same
 If I could lend any shame
 But,
 
 I was there when there was nobody home
 Please believe me when I say I don't know
 Gone for good infact but what does it mean
 Year to year they always___________?
 
 You've always been 
   So much easier to see
 Don't hide from me
   That which I've already seen
 You lie to me 
   More than occasionally
 Don't lie to me
 You lied to me
 
 I'm as high as I'll ever be
 I don't mind...stay and see
 They've all gone...why don't we
 Lonely as...you and me
 But I'm as high as I'll ever be
 Lead her on...last to see
 The past is gone..only for me
 I don't lie (don't lie don't lie don't lie)
 
 Ohhhhhh...
 I was there when there was nobody home
 Please believe me when I say I don't know
 Gone for good infact but what does it mean
 Year to year they always ___________?
