Leo Kottke's Pamela Brown (album: Ice Water) was requested recently.
The song was actually written by the great Tom T. Hall - a fine story
telling kinda player. I'm sure the words are close - and most of the
chords too. I'm not too happy about the D7 in the chorus but then I
remember that guys like T.T.Hall just don't use tough chords. This is
the key I sing it in. If I've missed a verse or something then I'll
actually find the album (lost alphabetical order during last move ...)
and check it.

============
G / C / G / /
I'm the guy who didn't marry pretty Pamela Brown
An educated, well intentioned, good girl in our town
G / C / G / /
Wonder where I'd be today if she had loved me too
Probably be driving kids to school.
Chorus:

I guess I owe it all to Pamela Brown

All of my good times, all my roaming around
One of these days I might be in your town
And I guess I owe it all to Pamela Brown
G / C / G / /

/
Been to foreign countries and walked upon their shores
/
Seems the guy she married was the best part of my luck
She dug him `cause he drove a pick-up truck. And ..
Chorus:
Interlude:
Chorus:
[slower]
I don't have to tell you just how beautiful she was
Everything it takes to get a guy like me in love
Lord, I hope she's happy `cause she sure deserves to be
Especially for what she did to me. And ...
Chorus:
