Verse 1
(G major) (D major) (G major) Dear (C major) Harlan Howard, (G major)
will you (D major) write me a (G major) hit?
Don't (C major) you know that (G major) I could sing
the (A major) far right out of (D major) it?
You've (G major) written songs for every star
in Nashville, (C major) Tennessee.
(G major) So, (C major) how's about it, (G major) Harlan?
Would (D major) you write a hit for me? (G major)
Now, I can come to Nashville,
you'll (C major) just send me the fire (G major)
Boy, if me and you get together,
oh, we'll (A major) tear them up down there (D major)
I loved (G major) heartaches by the number,
and bus (C major) ted impressed me so (G major) much
I painted (C major) your name in big (G major) red letters
(D major) cross -eyed my pickup truck (G major)
Boy, the way you write and the way I sang, (D major)
(C major) no tellin' how far we could go (G major)
Be smokin' (C major) cigars and
drivin' big (D major) cars,
Probably be on the Jimmy (G major) Dean Show.
(C major) Dear Harlan Howard, (G major)
will you (D major) write me a hit? (G major)
Don't (C major) you know that (G major) I can sing
the (A major) far right out of it? (D major)
You've (G major) written songs for every store
in Nashville, (C major) (G major) Tennessee.
So, (C major) how's about it, (G major) Harlan?
Would you (D major) write a hit for me? (G major)
Now I wouldn't want you
to be ashamed of me
when you (C major) show me around Nashville (G major)
So I got a few things down
at Monkey Wards
(A major) and said just send old Har (D major) lan a bill
Bought (G major) me a bright green cowboy shirt
and a (C major) pair of leopard skin (G major) boots
And you (C major) won't believe them rhinestones (G major)
and moth (D major) ers sewed on my (G major) suits
I met Roger Miller a here while back
and sang (C major) him a song or (G major) two
He said, (C major) you just write old (G major) Harlan,
he said (D major) it was the least he could (G major) do.
He said he owed you something Harlan,
so he's sendin' me, ain't that a blast?
You write him, I'll sing him,
I got a tiger by the tail,
it's (D major) plain (G major) to (D major) see, (A major) (D major) (G major) see.
Boy, I wish you'd give that song to me
instead of Buck Owens.
you
