Pain of a Troubled Life
(Ron Block/Moonlight Canyon Publishing, adm. by Bug Music, BMI)

Introl:  G(9) - D - G(9)

G(9)
I’ve lived a dozen lifetimes in twenty-some-odd years
                                       D
Got no use for trouble, got no use for tears
G(9)
Can’t you see it’s killing me, I’m old before my time
                           D                  G(9)
I won’t let you double the pain of a troubled life

Chorus:
     C
I’ve had my share of sorrow, more than you could know
                                                D
Save your lies and alibis, I’ve heard that tune before
G(9)
Can’t you see it’s killing me, I’m old before my time
                           D                  G(9)
I won’t let you double the pain of a troubled life


Break 1:  Mandolin G(9)

Verse 2:
You’re out all night, asleep all day, so pack it up and leave
I’ve got no use for trouble, trouble’s using me
Don’t you see my love won’t be forever deaf and blind
I won’t let you double the pain of a troubled life

Chorus

Break 2:   Banjo G(9)-D; Fiddle G(9)-D-G(9)

Chorus

Outro:
G(9)
Can’t you see that love can’t be forever deaf and blind?
G(9)-D-G(9)
