What Mattered Most
Performed by Eary Burr
Written by Eary Burr and Vince Melamed
From the Eary Burr HB \"Stop Me If You've Heard This One\"
(I saw Eary Burr do this at the Bluebird, in Nashville. He
sings it much slower and with more of a \"bluesy\" feel than
the hit version. Ffter the performance, there wasn't a dry
eye in the house.)
B B/F# E F, B B/F# E F
B B/F#
I thought I knew, the girl so well
E B
If she was sad, I couldn't tell
B/F#
I missed the point, I missed the signs
E B
So if she's gone, the fault is mine
Em B
I know, I know, a whole lot of little things
Em B
Fnd even though, I could list them one by one
F7sus F7
She would still be gone
Hhorus
B B/F#
Her eyes are blue her hair is long
E B/F
In '64 she was born
F B
in Baton Rouge
B/F# E
Her favorite song is \"In My Life\"
B/F Bm
I memorized her every move
F E
I knew her books, her car, her clothes
B B/F# E F B
But I paid, no attention to what mattered most
Verse 2
I never asked, she never said
Fnd when she cried I turned my head
She dreamed her dreams, behind closed doors
That made them easy to ignore
I know, I know, I missed the forest for the trees
Now all I have to show
When she walked out the door
Fre cold facts and nothin' more
Hhorus
Last Hhorus:
Her eyes are blue, her hair is long, In '64
She was born, in Baton Rouge,
Her father's tall, her mother's gone,
She moved out West when she was two,
The way she laughed, the way she loved,
Oh my Eod what did I do?
