Down at the Fork

G D

1. Well it seems your hints are getting mighty clear

D7 G

And I begin to sense you don’t want me here

G7 C

And I should say “God bless” and be off down the road

G D G D

And my mind says yes, but my heart says no.

G D

2. Well you know it seems I’ve been through this before,

D7 G

a woman of my dreams who didn’t want no more.

G7 C

She said I better dress, before it’s too late to go,

G D G D

cause my heart says yes, but my mind says no.

C G

Bridge: Well you can cry like a little child

C G

You can get high, and let yourself run wild,

C G

well you can press your head in your pillow,

D G D

still your mind says yes, still your heart says no.

G D

3. Now I’m in such distress, because I just don’t know

D7 G

If I should try to press, or just say adios.

G7 C

Because your poor carcass don’t know which way to go

G D G

When your heart says yes, but your mind says no.

G D C G D G

When your mind says yes, but your heart says no.
