IT'S BEEN A GREAT AFTERNOON (Merle Haggard)
MCA Records

[A] Last night we had a hell raisin' time

[D] Nippin' on tequila and suckin' on [A] limes

Sunrise chased the good time [D7] away

And good [B7] morning would have been the wrong [E7] thing to say

'Cause the [A] poundin' in the top of my head

Hey [D] didn't leave me any too [A] soon

I can't say we've had a good [B7] morning

But [D7] babe it's been a [E7] great after[A]noon

Well you [D] nursed me through the morning while [A] I was really 
down

Then one [B7] rowdy afternooner got me [E7] up and around

Yes last [A] night we had one hell raisin' time

But [D] today won't be forgotten too [A] soon

I can't say we've had a good [B7] morning

Oh but [D7] babe it's been a [E7] great after[A]noon, yes sir

(break)

Well you [D] nursed me through the morning while [A] I was really 
down

Then one [B7] rowdy afternooner got me [E7] up and around

Yes last [A] night we had one hell raisin' time, he he

But [D] today won't be forgotten too [A] soon

I can't say we've had a good [B7] morning

But [D7] dang it's been a [E7] great after[A]noon
