She Left Me Holdin'
by Jerry Jeff Walker and Milton Carroll
CAPO: Fret 3 (for the Reunion version); Fret 2 (for the Walker's Collectibles version)
INTRO: G-Dm G-Dm G-Dm-C (Repeat)
VERSE1:
C Dm G
Yes, I guess the blues caught me, brought me pretty low this time
C Dm G
Down to where I'm telling you everything that's on my mind
F-Em7-F F-Em7-Dm7 (See note 1 below)
She's tell--ing me if I need to be so free
G (See note 2 below)
Well I can just go off on my own
CHORUS:
F G C
All she left me holding was time on my hands
F G C
And all that left me living was half of the plan
F G Am--G- F G (See note 2 below)
And all that's left for me to do is hold on to anything I think I can
C G-Dm G-Dm G-Dm C
But darling, I need you, I know I still need you
INTERLUDE: Intro Riff (G-Dm G-Dm G-Dm-C)
VERSE 2:
She's the kind that people find knows everything that's on your mind
Now she's gone, and I guess this song will tell her how I feel this time
Cause I can't be free knowing that she's not with me
No, I just can't go on that way
CHORUS 2:
All she left me holding was time on my hands
And all that left me living was half the plan
And all that's left for me to do is hold on to anything I think I can
And darling, I love you I know I love you so, I'm never gonna let you go
NOTES:
1) This is a point on which I'm unsure of the chords -- sometimes I think I hear an "Am"
2) There's a climbing riff, different inversions of a "G", I think.
