Subject: I NEVER GO AROUND MIRRORS  by Merle Haggard 

I NEVER GO AROUND MIRRORS performed by Merle Haggard
(Written by Lefty Frizzell)
Submitted by Bruce Mackay

Capo on 3rd fret

C                                      F
I can't stand to see, a good man go to waste
        C                                  G
One who never combs his hair or shaves his face
  C                                              F
A man who leans on wine, over love that's told a lie
      C              G               C
Oh it tears me up to see a grown man cry
   C                 F
So I never go around mirrors
C                                             G
I can't stand to see me.....without you by my side
C                 F
I never go around mirrors
       C          G            C
'Cause I've got a heartache to hide

break

C                 F
I never go around mirrors
        C                                     G
I can't stand to see me.....without you by my side
C                 F
I never go around mirrors
       C          G            C
'Cause I've got a heartache to hide

       C              G               C
and it tears me up to see a grown man cry
