Guitar Songs with Ron Robey



Nothing Else
I'm caught up in Your presence
I just want to sit here at Your feet
I'm caught up in this holy moment
I never want to leave
Oh, I'm not here for blessings
Jesus, You don't owe me anything
More than anything that You can do
I just want You
I'm sorry when I've just gone through the motions
I'm sorry when I just sang another song
Take me back to where we started
I open up my heart to You
I'm sorry when I've come with my agenda
I'm sorry when I forgot that You're enough
Take me back to where we started
I open up my heart to You
I'm caught up in Your presence
I just want to sit here at Your feet
I'm caught up in this holy moment
I never want to leave
Oh, I'm not here for blessings
Jesus, You don't owe me anything
And more than anything that You can do
I just want You
I just want You
Nothing else, nothing else
Nothing else will do
I just want You
Nothing else, nothing else
Nothing else will do
I just want You
Nothing else, nothing else
Nothing else will do
I just want You
Nothing else, nothing else, Jesus
Nothing else will do
I just want You
Nothing else, nothing else
Nothing else will do
I just want You
Nothing else, nothing else, Jesus
Nothing else will do
I'm coming back to where we started
I'm coming back to where we started
When I first felt Your love
You're all that matters, Jesus
You're all that matters
I'm coming back to what really matters
Just Your heart
I just want to bless Your heart, Jesus
I'm caught up in Your presence
I just want to sit here at Your feet
I'm caught up in this holy moment
I never want to leave
And oh, I'm not here for blessings
Jesus, You don't owe me anything
More than anything that You can do
Oh, I just want You



Are the Good Times Really Over (I Wish a Buck Was Still Silver)
I wish a buck was still silver
It was back when the country was strong
Back before Elvis, before Vietnam war came along
Before the Beatles and yesterday
When a man could still work and still would
Is the best of the free life behind us now
And are the good times really over for good?
And are we rolling downhill like a snowball headed for hell
With no kinda chance for the flag or the liberty bell?
Wish a Ford and a Chevy
Would still last ten years like they should
Is the best of the free life behind us now
And are the good times really over for good?
I wish coke was still cola
And a joint was a bad place to be
It was back before Nixon lied to us all on T.V
Before microwave ovens when a girl could still cook, and still would
Is the best of the free life behind us now
Are the good times really over for good?
Are we rolling downhill like a snowball headed for hell
With no kinda chance for the flag or the liberty bell
Wish a Ford and a Chevy
Would still last ten years like they should
Is the best of the free life behind us now
And are the good times really over for good?
Stop rolling downhill like a snowball headed for hell
Stand up for the flag and let's all ring the liberty bell
Let's make a Ford and a Chevy
That would still last ten years like they should
'Cause the best of the free life is still yet to come
And the good times ain't over for good






Barbed Wire Halo
Capo 2 

Cadd9            G      cadd9       G        
Well God blessed Texas and deacon Shackelford
            Cadd9        G             Cadd9           G
He read the Bible seven times, and he believed every word
        Cadd9            G        Cadd9             G
That old beat up leather book had been through it all
       Cadd9         G              Cadd9         G
He sat on the back pew, so he could chew him a chaw

Cadd9            G
Singing Amazing Grace
Cadd9            G
How sweet the sound
Cadd9        D         Cadd9
That saved a wrech like me


He carried candy for the kids in his Sunday dress coat
he took me fishing after church and taught me things I needed to know
no deacon didn't have a family, Lord knows he wished he did
          Cadd9         G             D             G
He told the whole congregation that I was his grand kid


Chorus  
              Am            G              D             G
And today he joined up with Jesus wearing shiney pearl snaps
           Am          G                   D              
we sang a few gospel hymns and then the soldier played tapps
           Am           G            D                Em
I bet he's walking with Pete down a street paved with gold
       Am              G            D                          Cadd9
showing off his brand spanking new wings and his barbed wire halo


He married sweet Ema Graves before the war was through
She held his right arm next to his anchor tattoo
He was on a ship off at sea when she died in child birth
He lost his world from the far side of the earth

He lost the will to love he lost the will to live
until he met a man that taught him to forgive
yea life took him to hell and back to hell and back a time or two
but in the end he beat the devil until he was black and blue

singing I once was lost 
but now I'm found
was blind but now I see

chorus

         Cadd9            G                 D          G
Before he went he made me promise him that I wouldn't cry
             Cadd9             G
And though I told him that I wouldn't 
            D                 G
You know I couldn't help but lie


chorus

And today he joined up with Jesus wearing shiney pearl snaps

we sang a few gospel hymns and then the soldier played tapps

I bet he's walking with Pete down a street paved with gold
     Am           G                  D
As sure as the ol church bell still rings
          Am          G                D
He always said he had country in his soul
             Am               G           D                       Cadd9
He's showing off his brand spanking new wings and his barbed wire halo
G    Cadd9   G   Cadd9          G          D
sweet chariot   coming for to carry me home
     Cadd9  G     Cadd9    G    Cadd9          D        G
Swing low      sweet chariot, coming for to carry me home








[Intro]
G  Cadd9 (play 2 times)


[Verse 1]
G                                                       Cadd9
She grabs her magazines, she packs her things and she goes
Em7                                    D
She leaves the pictures hangin' on the wall
G                   Cadd9
She burns all her notes
            G                          D                       Cadd9
And she knows, she's been here too few years, to feel this old


[Verse 2]
G                                                       Cadd9
He smokes his cigarette, he stays outside 'til it's gone
Em7                   D
If anybody ever had a heart, well
G                   Cadd9
  He wouldn't be alone
         G                        D              Cadd9
He knows, she's been here too few years, to be gone


[Chorus 1]
D      G D    Cadd9            G    D     Cadd9
And we always say, it would be good to go away, someday
               Em               D
But if there's nothin' there to make things change
            Cadd9                        Cadd9
If it's the same for you I'll just hang


[Fill]
G  Cadd9


[Verse 3]
G                                                  Cadd9
The trouble understand, is she's got reasons he don't
Em7                          D
Funny how I couldn't see it all
G                           Cadd9
  'til she grabbed up her coat
        G                              D                  G       Cadd9
And she goes.  She's been here too few years, to take it all in stride
G                             D              Cadd9
Yeah, but still it's much too long, to let hurt go (you let her go)

[Chorus 2]
D      G D    Cadd9            G    D     Cadd9
And we always say, it would be good to go away, someday,
                    Em               D
Yeah but if there's nothin' there to make things change,
            Cadd9                        D
if it's the same for you I'll just hang, same to you I'll always hang
       G D    Cadd9            G    D     Cadd9
Well I always say, it would be good to go away,
       Em                    D
But if things don't work out like we think and
        Em               D
There's nothing there to ease this achin', but if
        Em               D
There's nothing there to make things change,
            Cadd9                        Cadd9
If it's the same for you I'll just hang

O Holy Night
        C                     F                           C
Oh, holy night! The stars are brightly shining   
                               G                 C
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth
C                                 F                  C
Long lay the world in sin and error pining  
 Em                     B             Em
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth
G                            C
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
G                             C
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Am               Em        Dm              Am
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices
C           G   C   F
Oh, night divine
C     G              C
Oh, night when Christ was born
GCFCGC
Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His name, all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise His holy name
Christ is the Lord! Oh, praise His Name forever
His power and glory evermore proclaim
Oh, night divine, oh, night when Christ was born
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices
Oh, night divine
Oh, night when Christ was born
Oh, night divine, oh, night when Christ was born
Christ is the Lord! Oh, praise His Name forever
His power and glory evermore proclaim
Oh, night divine, oh, night when Christ was born
