  			Jim Lauderdale    What About You  written by Jim Anglin 
Ralph Stanley                                Jack Anglin 
                                             Johnnie Wright      
 
D                    G                    D  
The days have seemed long and I have been lonesome 
                A                      D 
Recalling those dreams that never came true 
                     G                          D 
The nights have been lonely, but now that's all over 
                  A                    D 
Well I've paid my debt for trusting in you  
      G                     D 
Every day your memory grows dimmer  
                 A                        D     
The clouds drift away  the sunshine peeps thru  
G                            D 
Every night no longer you'll haunt me  
                 A                      D 
My conscience is clear  dear what about you 
 
SOLOS 
 
D               G                     D 
It's hard to believe that you are the same one 
D                  A                   D 
That once meant so much to our love so true 
             G                   D 
It's hard to know I worshipped a false one 
                   A                  D 
Well I've paid for it dear what about you 
      G                     D 
Every day your memory grows dimmer  
                 A                        D     
The clouds drift away  the sunshine peeps thru  
G                            D 
Every night no longer you'll haunt me  
                 A                      G D 
My conscience is clear  dear what about you
