[Verse 1]

A          C#7          D                 Bm
A solitary whippoorwill is singing in the night

E7                                 D      E              A   E   A
I watch until he spreads his wings and he sails into the sky

                 C#7            D                Bm
Somewhere in the distance I can hear his painful song

        A                 E7          A
He said some memories are better left alone


[Verse 2]

A                    C#7           D                Bm
Have you ever seen a freight train rolling down the track

E7                                 D     E       A   E   A
Eighty wheels on a thread of steel never looking back

                                  C#7       D      Bm
When I hear that whistle it still chills me to the bone

         A            E7          A
Yes some memories are better left alone


[Bridge Chorus]

       D           Dsus4         Bm              G#dim
Do you ever have a longing for a pure and simple time

     A            F#m          D                  E7
When all we had between us a a dream and one thin dime

            A               C#7             D               Bm
And we were flat out on the highway with no place to be but gone

   A                   E7          A
Yes, some memories are better left alone

Solo A                    C#7           D                Bm

      A                   E7          A

[Verse 3]
A                          C#7          D             Bm
Well I feel just like that whipporwill singing in the night
E7                        D      E       A   E   A
Trying one again to sleep I turn out the light
             C#7           D               Bm
Lying in the darkness I am waiting for the dawn
          A            E7          A
Yes, some memories are better left alone


[Outro]
                  C#7      D               Bm
I am lying in the darkness waiting for the dawn
           A            E7          A
Lord, some memories are better left alone
