Someone Told My Story
Merle Haggard - from "The Lonesome Fugitive"
Transcribed by Max Fillmore


(Intro)
A   D   A   A   A   E7   A   A  

(Verse 1)
  A                  A7            D                                   
I played a brand new record on the jukebox.
  A                                 E
I scarcely could believe the song I heard.
   A               A7           D
It told of how you left me for another.
       A               E7            A
It was almost like I'd written every word.

(Chorus)
A               D          A
Someone told my story in a song.
                                 E
The lyrics told of happiness and home.
A               D               A
Then it told of how you done me wrong.
                E7         A
Someone told my story in a song.

(Instrumental Break)
A   D   A   A   A   E7   A   A  

(Verse 2)
    A                A7               D
The writer must have seen the way ya' done me,
       A                              E
For he told it all and never missed a line.
   A                A7          D
He told of swinging doors and a jukebox.
       A           E7             A                          
And he even knew I almost lost my mind.

(Chorus)
