G D
Sweet Emmylou, I blew the dust off of you
G7 C
You're the only one who knows what I'm goin' through
G D G D
Like the hickory wind, he's gone again, sweet Emmylou
G D
Sweet Emmylou, as the needle runs through you
G7 C
The way the pain shines through, I know you've been there too
G D
Those sad melodies, oh how they comfort me
G
Sweet Emmylou
[Chorus]
C
I hate to bother you again, last time you helped my poor heart mend
G
Then he came along
C
So I put your records all away, thought happy songs was all I'd play
D
But I was wrong, oh, I was wrong
[Instrumental]

Sweet Emmylou, what are we gonna do
G7 C
It's only been a week or two, and he's found someone new
G D
Look like it's gonna be, another night of you and me
G
Sweet Emmylou
[Chorus]
C
I hate to bother you again, last time you helped my poor heart mend
G
Then he came along
C
So I put your records all away, thought happy songs was all I'd play

But I was wrong, oh, I was wrong
