Mendocino County Line (Willie Nelson and LeeAnn Womack)

                            
Counted the stars on the fourth of July
Bb                        C                                   Wishin we were rockets burstin’ into the sky
                                             
Talking’ about redemption and leaving things behind
                                                                    
As the sun sank west of the Mendocino County line

                                   
Excuses Monday morning’ feeling washed away
                                                                                                   
I orchestrated paradise, couldn’t make you stay
                                                               
You danced with the horses through the sands of time…….

CHORUS
                                        
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs….
                   
to remind me of a time
                                                           
These pictures and these photographs, 
                     
let me know I’m doing fine
                                                                                          
I used to make you happy      once upon a time
                                           
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino county Line

Verse 2 (same chords)
The two of use together felt nothing but right
Feeling very mortal every Friday night
Lost in our convictions-lips stained with wine….
As the sun sank west of the Mendocino County line
 (to chorus)

Bridge:
                                   
I don’t talk to you too much these days
                                
I just thank the Lord---pictures don’t fade
                                        
I spent time with an angel just passin through
Dminor7                                                 
Now all that’s left, is this image of you…oooooo…..
(chorus)
