    C                           F            C 
But you know I don't think much about her no more 
              Am    D7                G7 
And Seldom if ever does she cross my mind 
C           C7        F           C 
Yesterday's gone Lord it's better forgotten 
                      Am         G7         C 
Like the poisoned red berries to die on the vine 

                            F           C 
This morning at dawn Lord I pulled into town 
                      Am               D7             G7 
I had some coffee and talked with some old friends of mine 
     C               C7         F        C 
Just laughing at the good times they all remembered 
           Am             G7 
And then I remembered the time 

C                       F                     C 
Oh Lord I can still the bright lights back in Dallas 
             Am           D7               G7 
As yesterday moves like a dream through my mind 
    C          C7         F           C 
And I didn't suppose that I'd ever forget her 
                Am               G7 
And you know it took such a long time 

    C                           F            C 
But you know I don't think much about her no more 
              Am    D7                G7 
And Seldom if ever does she cross my mind 
C           C7        F           C 
Yesterday's gone Lord it's better forgotten 
                      Am           G7            C 
Like the poisoned red berries that clings to the mind
