You Stay Out Of Your Life by Greg Johnson
Transcribed by Carl Scott, carldscott@yahoo.co.nz
(Note: In the step down from C to Am,
the fingering of the "G/B" chord = 020010)
Intro:
G C D x2
Verse 1:
G
You just never can tell,
C D
who in the world you might meet
G
But you remind me of a guy I saw,
C D
waving a 12-gauge shotgun up the end of my street
G
And it's funny when you end up talking to people,
C D
all standing, all waiting in line
G
And I saw you talk to that woman last night,
C D
and I did too she bought me a glass of wine
Chorus 1:
G
And she said "You stay out of your life and,
C D
and I'll stay out of mine"
G
"If I ever break your heart, I hope you
C D
know I wouldn't break your mind"
G
She said "You stay out of your life and,
C D
I'll stay out of mine"
G
"You pretend you're running late, and
C D
I'll pretend I'm just in time"
C G/B Am
And when the sun come up, when the
C G/B Am G
sun come up, she was mine
C D
Yeaahhh yeah yeah yeah, yeaahh
G C D
yeah, she was mine
Verse 2:
G C
So, potholers, diggers, adventurers,
D
and father figures
G
Leave a trail of string behind you,
C
you look forward to the bar where the
D
ships all run aground
G
And of course I've seen it happen before,
C D
it's not a drop, it's more a gentle lower me down
G
Ah, that was last night,
and the last night in town with a
C
guy I talked with the bad skin and the
D
permanent frown
Chorus 2:
G
And he said "You stay out of your life and,
C D
I'll stay out of mine"
G
"If you ever meet my lover and she
C D
smiles, I wouldn't waste your time"
G
He said "You stay out of your life and,
C D
and I'll stay out of mine"
G
"If I catch you with my girl again, then
C D
maybe next time I wont be so kind"
C G/B Am
And when the sun come up, when the
C G/B Am C G/B Am
sun come up, when the sun come up,
(Pause - No chords)

And she was mine.
Note from Carl Scott:
These are DEFINITELY the correct Lyrics
& chords - I E-mailed Greg Johnson himself,
and he sent me this reply.
"...Chords [you sent me] look pretty good,
if they sound odd at any point it's probably
the piano inversion, or perhaps a G with
an E on top [i.e]G6...when it descends...
oh yeah and the song is really as it appears,
a true story about talkin' shit with drunk
people in bars... bits of conversation etc..
Cheers, Greg."
NOTE: This is the transcriber's interpretation of the song and is not meant to be exact or replace an officially published transcription.
