Record of My Love

sample recording January 2015

I / IV / | I / V / | I / IV / | I V I I7 IV / I / | / / V / | I / IV / | I V I /

1. You said that you don't love me, but I don't believe that's true
cause a love like ours is awful, awful rare.
Your lawyer's got a list of folks who have witnessed my true love.
Your restraining order proves that I still care.

Oh please, oh please don't tell your mother.
She'll kick me til I'm aching, bruised and sore.
Please use the legal system 'cause that's the wisest wisdom
and it's a record of my love forevermore.

2. I remember when we met dear, many weeks ago
you were dancing at the bar room, swinging round the floor.
You danced with me around the room, we did the do si do
and I knew my love would last forevermore.

Oh please, oh please don't tell your brother.
He'll chase me down and knock me to the floor.
Please use the legal system 'cause that's the wisest wisdom
and it's a record of my love forevermore.

3. You told them I was drunk dear, but shoot that's always true,
but if I ever sobered up dear I'd still be in love with you.
I'm like a wart you can't get rid of or that new infectious flu.
Darling that's how much that I love you.

Oh please, oh please don't tell your father.
He'll pound my poor old head against the door.
Please use the legal system 'cause that's the wisest wisdom
and it's a record of my love forevermore.

final chorus:
Oh please, oh please don't tell your sister.
She'll chase me down and cut off all my hair.
Your lawyer's got a list of folks who have witnessed my true love.
The restraining order proves that I still care.
Yes the restraining order proves that I still care.
