Jayhawks
Figure I'll take this opportunity to correct what I think are some 
wrong lyrics, including omitting the first couple of lines.  No 
offense to those who originally sounded it out.  (Not sure of the 
chords on those missing lines; I've never been able to get the verses 
to sound right.)

Someone wanted this.....I didn't figure it out, but it was just sitting on
my HD.  Whoever requested it, your email address is not receiving

Always thought I was someone

Turned out I was wrong

If I had an old woman 
 Lived by

She'd never sell me a lie
  A   B     A         E
It's hard to sing with someone

Give all of my mercy
  Amaj7         A  
Give all of my Heart
