Subject: Correction to Album Name for Ray Charles' Three-Quarter Time

This song is on Ray Charles' country album "Wish You were Here Tonight"
circa 1982 or 1983.  I picked it up around 1984.  It's really a good country 
song -- try to check it out.

I worked this song out off the record, so it's all my own work and may not 
be perfectly accurate, but it works for me.  Hope it does for you, too.

                                                                                               
3/4 Time - Ray Charles  

Verse 1:
D                                           A

                                                  D
And old friend the guitar and songs and women and wine
                                               G
They say that I'm livin to fast but I'm feelin fine (yeah)  
A                                  D

D                                                     A
Sometimes I get sideways and stay up all night writin songs  
                                                  D
They say it ain't healthy but somehow I keep goin on (I do)  
                                                           G
I write what I feel and don't care if the damn thing don't rhyme (no)  
     A                                  D
Just gimme a C chord and play it in 3/4 time (got it)      


Chorus:
       G                                             D

    E                                                A
And one thing's for sure ain't none of gonna get out alive(uhuh,sorry)

D                                               A
So while I'm still kickin I'm gonna keep pickin my tunes  
                                                 D
I like what I'm doin and I hope it don't end too soon    
                                                      G
Cause all a my life there's one thing I keep hopin to find (yes)    
A                                     D
A woman who likes to make love in 3/4 time (be nice ya know)    


Chorus:
       G                                             D
It's a big old world and we all have to live out our lives  
    E                                                A
And one thing's for sure ain't none of gonna get out alive(uhuh,sorry)
