  Sorry about having to put the lyrics in vertical, but I couldn't
  find any other way of showing where they are on the beat.

  Hope this makes sense and helps.

 Also, huge THANKS to everyone that has taken the time to RATE THIS TAB,

 y'all are the best,
                     flatwound.


                      PONCHO'S AME NT

[VERSE]
         G               D        G
   The stairs sound so lonely without you
B7                           C             C            D           G    E
   I ain't made my bed in a week, Coffee stains on the paper I'm writing
            A7                      D
   And I'm too choked up inside to speak
                G    D                      G
   Well yes  I know    that our differences   pulled us apart
 B7                              C           C    D           G   E
   Never spoke a word heart to heart,   I'm glad that you're gone
          A7          D               G    D
   But I wish to the Lord you'd come home

[CHORUS]
         G    D              G   B7                     C
Yes I'm gla--ad that you're gone,  Got the feeling so strong
      C   D           G   E        A7          D                    G   D
I'm glad that you're gone,  But I wish to the Lord that you'd come home

[VERSE]
             G            D           G
   Well my guitar still plays your favorite song
B7                                                   C
   Though the strings have been outta tune for some time
          C              D         G               E
   Every time I play a chord,   I pray out to the Lord
                A7               D                G    D
   That you'll quit your honkey-tonk and sing my song

[CHORUS]
         G    D              G   B7                     C
Yes I'm gla--ad that you're gone,  Got the feeling so strong
      C   D           G   E        A7          D                    G   D
I'm glad that you're gone,  But I wish to the Lord that you'd come home

[VERSE]
 G                        D            G
   So I'll Throw another log onto the fire,
 B7                                 C
   And, I'll admit I'm a lousy liar
           C                   D         G                 E
   As the coals die down and flicker, I hear that guitar picker
             A7              D            G    D
   Play the song we used to sing so long ago

[CHORUS]
         G    D                   G   B7                     C
Yes I'm gla--ad glad that you're gone,  Got the feeling so strong
      C   D           G   E         A7          D               G
I'm glad that you're gone,  But I wish to the Lord you'd come home
