Tom: C
C F C
Well I don't miss her anymore, the way that I used to.
C G
Was a time when my heart was broke, but somehow I got through.
C F C
Still, her father became my best friend, that's one thing for sure.
C G C
Funny how I miss him, a lot more than her.
[Chorus]
Am F C
"How's Ernie?", hey that's what I would say,
C G
If I wrote her a letter or I called her up one day.
Am F C
"How's Ernie?" You know it ended up real bad.
C G C
But I don't miss her anymore, though I sure do miss her dad.
[Verse]
C F C
He was kind of deaf in one ear, so I'd kind of have to shout.
C G
We'd talk guns and horses 'til the lights went out.
C F C
Why, we'd stay up 'til midnight, drinking whisky and water,
C G C
And he'd pretend not to know I was sleeping with his daughter.
[Chorus]
Am F C
But I was young and foolish. How was I to know
C G
Hey, the price I'd for my mistakes was to up and watch her go?
C F C
And I don't mind that she went and done what I guess she had to do.
C G C
No, I don't mind, but I wonder why she had to take him too!
[Chorus]
C G C
But I don't miss her anymore, though I sure do miss her dad.
