                              LONESTAR  --  NO NEWS

                              ---------------------

  

  From the CD:  Lonestar  (BMG)

  

  

  NOTES:      The verses follow a basic blues chord progression.  Each

  letter represents one measure (4 beats) excepted in the chorus where G

  and D share a measure (2 beats each) as indicated by the hyphen.

  

      G                                  G

  She said "It's just a woman thing" and pulled out of the drive.

      G                              G

  I advised her not to worry, I'm an understandin' guy.

       C                                        C

  I've heard that when you love someone, you've gotta let em go.

      G                                    G

  She hollered: "When I find myself you'll be the first to know."

  D        D7          G        D7

  Ooo-ooo- hoo-oo,  No news!

  

  I've learned to do the laundry, feed the cat, and clean the house.

  I promised to be patient while she worked her problems out.

  When she packed her bags, her destination wasn't clear;

  But I sensed that her intentions were honest and sincere.

  Ooo-ooo- hoo-oo,  No news!

  

                  G    -     D              C

        She could telephone, tell a friend, tell a lie about where she's been.

        G      -       D            C

        Send a pigeon, send a fax;  Write it on a post-it pad.

        G     -       D            C       

        Send a signal up in smoke, tap it out in Morse Code.

        G    -     D     C           G      G

        I prefer a bad excuse, to no news!

  

  Her mama's been a little vague as to her whereabouts.

  Her sister says "I'm certain your romance has headed south."

  I don't have a single doubt that she's still in love;

  My level of anxiety is just a product of...

  Ooo-ooo- hoo-oo,   No news!

  

                 G     -    D               C

        She could telephone, tell a friend;  tell a lie about where she's been.

        Send a pigeon, send a fax;  write it on a post-it pad.

        Send a signal up in smoke;  tap it out in Morse Code.

        G    -     D     C

        I prefer a bad excuse...

           G       -       D                  C

        She missed her bus, missed her plane;  surely this can be explained.

        Lost her car at the mall;  got locked in a bathroom stall.

        Playing guitar with The Band;  on the road with Pearl Jam.

        Buried with The Grateful Dead;  came back as a Parrot Head.

        Got derailed, got de-iced;  offered as a sacrifice.

        G  - D     C                              G  -  D     C

        FBI, CIA;  if they've seen her they ain't saying.

           G  -  D    C      G  -  D     C           G  -  D     C

        No newwwwwwwwwwwws!                 Still no news!           Oh-oh!

        G  -  D      C  [QUICK FADE OUT]
