Lonely East Tx Nights Ukulele Chords

Lonely East TX Nights by Whiskey Myers

This is a great tune by one of my favorite TX bands.

The Am7 in this tune can be easily replaced with an Am if you prefer. The G in this song is accented
with a Gsus2 and Gsus4 pattern (G - Gsus2 - Gsus4 - G) or (G - Gsus2 - G - Gsus4). 
Whichever you prefer.

Note: Use variation 4 of the Cadd9 (G w/ upper fingers dropped one string). ENJOY!!!

Tuning: Standard

Intro: Am7, Fadd9, G

Am7      Fadd9         G
Same old song on the radio tonight
Am7       Fadd9                   G
One about wine and roses and candlelight
Am7            Fadd9                G
But I'm getting all from you with every town that I play
Am7         Fadd9                 G
Maybe this distance is more than we can take

But I'm coming back to you I swear I’ll make it right
