Old Silver Chords & Lyrics - Radney Foster

[G]Old Silver died last [C]Saturday ev [G]enin'
Or [Em]was it [D]more like [C]10 years ag [G]o
She nailed [G]2 dozen roses to the [C]top of his [G]coffin
And [Em]buried 'em [D]deep where they [C]never would gr [G]ow
Lord, she [Em]buried 'em [D]deep where they [C]never would gr [G]ow

Now the [G]Irish are funny, they'll [C]cry when they [G]have to
And the [Em]lady she [D]moaned such a [C]mournful [G]sound
Me and the Mexican just [C]finished our [G]bottle
And re [Em]membered the [D]days when Old [C]Silver was a [G]round
Yeah, re [Em]membered the [D]days when Old [C]Silver was a [G]round

'Cause [C]Old Silver took the [F]best of it [C]with him
The [G]lovers and the [D]dealers and the [C]dreamers of [G]dreams
[C]Old Silver took the [F]love of a [C]lady
Who [G]never got [D]over Old [C]Silver and [G]me
[G/F#]Lord, she [Em]never got [D]over Old [C]Silver and [G]me

[Em] [D] [C] [G] [G] [G]

Old [G]Silver had the magic and he [C]carried the [G]money
With the [Em]grace of a [D]gambler and he [C]lost it with [G]ease
He [G]knew his lines better, than a [C]good carny [G]barker
Worse the [Em]best damn [D]boots that you [C]ever have [G]seen
He had the [Em]best snake-skin [D]boots that you [C]ever have [G]seen

Now the [G]lady she loved him and she [C]never asked que [G]stions
Though she [Em]laid awake [D]wonderin' on [C]many a [G]night
She [G]swore she was leaving [C]most every [G]morning
But she [Em]always would [D]kiss him when he [C]turned out the [G]light
She was [Em]always right [D]there when he [C]turned out the [G]light

'Cause [C]Old Silver took the [F]best of it [C]with him
The [G]lovers and the [D]dealers and the [C]dreamers of [G]dreams
[C]Old Silver took the [F]love of a [C]lady
Who [G]never got [D]over Old [C]Silver and [G]me
[G/F#]Lord, she [Em]never got [D]over Old [C]Silver and [G]me

Now there's [G]always a sidekick to [C]every B- [G]western
Who's [Em]always in [D]love with the [C]lady who [G]leaves
But [G]she can't stand the memory so I [C]really don't [G]blame her
For [Em]taking the [D]very first [C]Greyhound she'd [G]seen
God I [Em]hate her for [D]takin' the first [C]Greyhound she'd [G]seen

'Cause [C]Old Silver took the [F]best of it [C]with him
The [G]lovers and the [D]dealers and the [C]dreamers of [G]dreams
[C]Old Silver took the [F]love of a [C]lady
Who [G]never got [D]over Old [C]Silver and [G]me
[G/F#]Lord, she [Em]never got [D]over Old [C]Silver and [G]me

[Em] [D] [C] [G] [G] [G]

[G]Old Silver died last [C]Saturday ev [G]enin'
Or [Em]was it [D]more like [C]10 years ag [G]o
