Dime Store Novel
Clarence Kelly
The Mountains Are Calling Album 2006 Sagegrass Music
Banjo tuned E, Capo3, Key Bb
Sound byte played with no Capo, Banjo tuned to E
Bb
Inside a little antique store,
On a back row shelf
Eb
An old dime store novel
Bb
I bring it to my self
The lady on the cover,
She was just like you
Eb
With her arms folded
F Bb
And eyes of crystal blue
I walked to the counter,
Paid the lady for the book
Hurried to the sidewalk
To have another look
As I read the story
It made me so blue
I swear they were talking
About me and you
Chorus:
Bb
Oh how my heart was breaking
My tears fell like rain
Eb
And I wondered if you'll ever know
F Bb
That you caused me so much pain
Instrumental:
I closed up the book,
And I get into my car
My mind was racing
Wondering where you are
Are you really happy
Do you smile all the time?
And sometimes late at night----
Do I ever cross your mind?
Oh coming up on midnight
Finds me on the phone
I can barely stand the thought
Of being here, all alone
A man on the other end
Says I know how you feel
But sir, I made the lady up
She has never been real
Chorus:
Instru:
I hang up the phone,
Set down in the chair
Stare across the room
Knowing you are not there (lick)
Is it really over
Is that the way you feel
Sometimes it makes me wonder
Was our love ever real?
Chorus: Oh how my heart was breaking
My tears fell like rain
And I wondered if you'll ever know
That you caused me so much pain
