Some Memories Are Better Left Alone Chords

(ver. 1)
Mickey Newbury
A          C#7          D                 Bm  
A solitary whippoorwill is singing in the night 
E7                                 D      E              A   E  A
I watch until he spreads his wings and he sails into the sky
                 C#7            D                Bm                    
Somewhere in the distance I can hear his painful song 
        A                 E7            A 
He said some memories are better left alone 

Have you ever seen a freight train rolling down the track 
Eighty wheels on a thread of steel never looking back 
Even when I was young it still chilled me to the bone 
Yes some memories are better left alone 

       D           D+            Bm              G#dim  
Do you ever have a longing for a pure and simple time 
     A             F#m            D                  E7
When all we had between us was a dream and one thin dime 
            A               C#7            D                Bm  
And we were flat out on the highway with no place to be but gone 
     A                 E7            A
Yes, some memories are better left alone 

Well I feel just like that whippoorwill singing in the night 
Trying once again to sleep I turn out the light 
Lying in the darkness I am waiting for the dawn 
Yes some memories are better left alone 

A                 C#7      D               Dm  
I am lying in the darkness waiting for the dawn 
           A            E7           D   Bm A
Lord, some memories are better left alone
