Ain't nobody but Sally Sue Brown
D7
All you boys better run for cover
E
If you don't a-wanna be a broken hearted lover
A
See her in that very tight skirt
Got what it takes just to make you hurt
D7
Don't be deceived by those big bright eyes
E
Prefer to treat her nasty and low down lies
D
Makes no difference where she's been
A
I know Sal's been doin' them things again
D
Breaking hearts up and down the line
E
Like she broke this heart of mine
A
I'll go see them come down my way
Like a fool you're gonna hear me say
D7
"I'll lay at your bed Sally Sue Brown
E
A
Please let me love you, baby, don't put me down"
Makes no difference where she's been I'm go in south and doin' them things again Bake in a hot tub, down the line I'd rather see you ruin this a-heart of mine I'll go see them come down my way Like a fool you're gonna hear me say "I'll lay at your bed Sally Sue Brown Please let me love you, baby, don't put me down"

Just remember that death is not the end
When you're standing on the crossroads That you cannot comprehend Just remember that death is not the end And all your dreams have vanished And you don't know what's up the bend Just remember that death is not the end Not the end Not the end Just remember that death is not the end When the storm clouds gather round you And heavy rains descend Just remember that death is not the end And there's nowhere there to comfort you With helping hand to lend Just remember that death is not the end Not the end Not the end Just remember that death is not the end
D
Oh the tree of life is growing
A
Where the spirit never dies
D
And the bright light of salvation
A
E
Shines in dark and empty skies
When the cities are on fire When the burning flesh of men Just remember that death is not the end And you search in vain to find Just one law abiding citizen Just remember that death is not the end Not the end Not the end Just remember that death is not the end

Ugliest Girl In The World

Written with Robert Hunter
A
Well the woman that I love, she got a hook in her nose
Her eyebrows meet, she wears second-hand clothes
D
She speaks with a stutter and she walks with a hop
A
I don't know why I love her, but I just can't stop
D
A
You know I love her, yeah I love her
E
A
I'm in love with the ugliest girl in the world
If I ever lose her I will go insane I go half crazy when she calls my name When she says, "Baby, I love you" There ain't nothing in the world that I wouldn't do You know I love her, yeah I love her I'm in love with the ugliest girl in the world The woman that I love, she got two flat feet Her knees knocks together walking down the street She cracks her knuckles and she snores in bed She ain't much to look at, but like I said I love her, yeah I love her I'm in love with the ugliest girl in the world She's so ugly Man she's ugly Definitely ugly Truly ugly She's so ugly She's so ugly I don't mean to say she got nothing going She got a weird sense of humor that is all her own When I got low she sets me on my feet Got a five inch smile but her breath is sweet You know I love her, yeah I love her I'm in love with the ugliest girl in the world Well the woman that I love, she got a hook in her nose Her eyebrows meet, she wears second-hand clothes She speaks with a stutter and she walks with a hop I don't know why I love her, but I just can't stop You know I love her, yeah I love her I'm in love with the ugliest girl in the world

| ... Stake my future on a hell of a past Looks like tomorrow is a-coming on fast Ain't complaining about what I got Seen better times but who has not? Silvio, silver and gold Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold Silvio, I gotta go Find out something only dead men know Honest as the next jade rolling that stone When I come a-knockin' don't throw me no bone I'm an old boll weevil looking for a home If you don't like me, you can leave me alone I can snap my fingers and require the rain From a clear blue sky and turn it off again I can stroke your body and relieve your pain And charm the whistle off an evening train Silvio, silver and gold Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold Silvio, I gotta go Find out something only dead men know Give what I got until I got no more I take what I get until I even the score You know I love you and furthermore When it's time to go, you got an open door I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain You give something up for everything you gain Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain Pay for your ticket and don't complain Silvio, silver and gold Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold Silvio, I gotta go Find out something only dead men know One of these days and it won't be long Going down the valley and sing my song Gonna sing it loud, sing it strong Let the echo decide if I was right or wrong Silvio, silver and gold Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold Silvio, I gotta go Find out something only dead men know

Till suddenly we found that the brakes were gone
You belong to someone else, and I do too It's just crazy bein' here with you As a bad motorcycle with the devil in the seat Going ninety miles an hour down a dead end street Ninety miles an hour down a dead end street I didn't want to want you, but now I have no choice It's too late to listen to that warning voice All I hear is thunder of two hearts beat Going ninety miles an hour down a dead end street Ninety miles an hour down a dead end street
D
You're not free to belong to me
A
And you know I could never be your own
D
Your lips on mine are like a sweet, sweet wine
A
E
But we're heading for a wall of stone
Warning signs are flashing everywhere, but we pay no heed 'Stead of slowing down the pace, we keep a pickin' up speed Disaster's getting closer every time we meet Going ninety miles an hour down a dead end street Yeah, ninety miles an hour down a dead end street Well, ninety miles an hour down a dead end street

Rank Strangers To Me

I wandered again to my home in the mountain

Where in youth's early dawn I was happy and free
E
I looked for my friends but I never could find them
B
E
I found they were all rank strangers to me
Everybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger No mother or dad not a friend could I see They knew not my name and I knew not their faces I found they were all rank strangers to me "They all moved a way," said a voice of a stranger "To that beautiful home by the bright crystal sea" Some beautiful day I'll meet 'em in heaven Where no one will be a stranger to me Everybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger No mother or dad not a friend could I see They knew not my name and I knew not their faces I found they were all rank strangers to me
