Artist:  Clint Black
Transcribed by:  The Ranger (stjohn@uakron.edu)

G                                        D
Got a big leather suitcase...all I own is inside
C    
seems I've been walkin' for days...can't even bum a ride
G                                D 
try steppin' to a tune...with the rhythm of a walkin' man
C
mind drifts like a big balloon...out of my situation at hand
  
C         G                            D                  G      D       C
H         Ain't it funny how a melody...can bring back memories
O         G                             D
R         take you to another place in time
U         C               D                               G 
S         completely change your state of mind

G                                                D
Walkin' down a lonely highway...not feelin' alone
C
Thinkin' back when things went my way...and not the road I'm on
G                                                     D
Well I've been down a time or two...but it never lasts long
C
I can always make it through on a wing...and a prayer...and a song

CHORUS

G                    D
It can make a right from a wrong
G                       C
It can make you fall in love
G                    D
It can get you singin' along
                C                                           D              
 G                 
chase the clouds away...and make the sun shine above
   D                G      D          C
A melody can bring back a memory
G                             D
take you to another place in time
C               D                               G
completely change your state of mind
   D                G       D         C  
A melody can bring back a memory
G                             D
take you to another place in time
C               D                               G              D G
completely change your state of mind.
