Whitey Morgan and the 78’s – Memories Cost A Lot Chords on Piano & Ukulele

[Verse 1]
A
Last night I wrote some songs
with a friend of mine
You could say he's
               E
a legend in my mind
         E
He said "Boy, I can feel your
pain through your whiskey mind
"But there's more to writin'
                   A
songs than rhymin' lines"

[Chorus]
        A
He said "Memories cost a lot
when you don't make 'em
Well, when you lose your family, son,
                 E
you never really can replace 'em
           E
And that's good for writin' songs
if your heart can take 'em
Son, memories cost a lot
                    A
when you don't make 'em"

[Verse 2]
A
"Those records on the
wall are cold as ice
Hell, writin' what you're livin'
                         E
ain't no good for family life
         E
So don't envy me for
what those records say
Hell, that ain't nothin'
                   A
but my misery on display"
