Before I Met You - Carl Smith
[A] I thought I had seen pretty [D] girls in my [A] time
That was before I met [E7] You
I [A] never saw one that I [D] wanted for [A] mine
But that was be-[E7] fore I met [A] you. [A7]
CHORUS
I [D] thought I was swingin' the [A] world by the tail
I thought I could never be [E7] blue
I [A] thought I'd been kissed and I [D] thought I'd been [A] loved
But that was be-[E7] fore I met [A] you.
I wanted to ramble and always be free
But that was before I met you
I said that no woman could ever hold me
But that was before I met you.

I Overlooked An Orchid - Carl Smith
VERSE !:
(G)The orchid is a flower (G7)that (C)blooms so (G)tender'ly
To thrill the fairest lady of the (D7)land
If (G)placed beside a blush'in (G7)rose
the (C)rose could not (G)compare
But how was such as (D7)I to under-(G)stand
CHORUS:
(G)I over looked an orchid while (C)search-ing for a (G)rose
The orchid that I over looked was (D7)you
The (G)rose that I was search-ing (G7)for,
has (C)proved to be un-(G)true
The orchid now I (D7)find my dear was (G)you
VERSE 2:
The (G)rose has lost it's color
But the (C)orchid is the (G)same
And I'm alone to face these lone-ly (D7)years
I (G)didn't see the orchid
I was look-(C)ing for a (G)rose
And now I pay the (D7)price with better (G)tears
REPEAT CHORUS:

Take My Ring Off Your Finger - Carl Smith
CHORUS
CAPO: 1st FRET KEY: Eb PLAY: D
[D] Take my ring off of your [G] finger
[A7] When you're out runnin' 'round on [D] me
Darlin' tell them you're not [G] married
But [A7] don't ask me to set you [D] free.
It hurts to share you with those others
But it's better than no love at all
When you're not cheat'n', you're not happy
So go on out and have yourself a ball.
CHORUS
I know I should walk right out and leave you
Any other fool would have been gone
Ev'ry night - you're unfaithful
But I'll be wait'n' here when you come home.
