Sorest Of Eyes Tab

by William Elliott Whitmore


If you really want to get that clawhammer banjo feel, try alternating between the 
bass string and the rest of the chord: e.g.
                           
E---2-2       ---3-3         -------|
B---3-3       ---3-3         ---2-2-|
G---2-2       ---0-0         ---2-2-|
D-0----       ------         ---2-2-|
A------       ------         -0-----| 
E------       -3----         -------|

                                 
You are a sight for the sorest of eyes
                                  
and these have never beheld
                                    
such beauty and grace in the look on your face 
                    
is a secret you just can't tell

Blow out those candles and crawl into bed
Hold me close and don't let go
The storm clouds are gatherin' all overhead 
and the wind is starting to blow

                        
I never felt better than in your two arms
                             
and the moon never shone so bright
                   
All my woes seem to fade away
                     
Darlin' you sure are a sight

(the last two verses go back to the original pattern)

Tea in the morning and whiskey at night 
is such a hard cycle to break
but your company is just fine by me
Lovin for lovins sake

You shoot me that look from them big doe eyes 
like a slug from a forty-four
It's as easy as that for you to lay me out flat
that's one thing that's always for sure
