***************** THE GOOD LORD KNOWS I TRIED *****************

written and performed by Billy Joe Shaver.

Verse 1:
D G
From the very first hello to the very last goodbye
A D
From here to there and everything between
G
All i ever did was try my best to keep you satisfied
A D
And all you ever did was make a fool of me

Chorus:
A D
I tried every way i knew to give you everything i had
E A
And all i ever did was try to treat you right
D G
Still the best that i could do was never good enough for you
A D
I couldn't please you but the good Lord knows i tried

Verse 2:
D G
My old friends they tried to warn me but i paid them all no mind
A D
When i see them now we don't have much to say
G
For you took everything we had,left me nothing but behind
A D
Feelin' like some old forgotten yesterday
