Sweet Melinda John Denver 1979 | (4-Bar-B 6006) Bob Carmack |
OPENER - CLOSER Basic
Circle left
*Pulled out of Linden, Texas two days and nights ago
Been livin' on Cokes and burgies till the white of my eyes don't show
Walk around your corner, see saw your own
Left allemande and weave the ring you roam
*'cept for you sweet Melinda, my wife
Dosado, promenade Melinda home
'cept for you, sweet Melinda, my wife
I been ridin' on empty most of my life
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Two more hours of daylight, it's startin' to rain again
A sign up ahead says "welcome to Paradise, population 10"
*Well me and this truck and that old white line stumblin' on and on
Like three old drinkin' buddies comin' home at dawn
FIGURE Basic, corner progression
Head two couples square thru 4 hands you know
Make a right hand star once around you go
Heads left hand star in the middle, turn it one time for me
Meet the outside two with a right & left thru once you see
Veer to the left and ferris wheel, pass thru and swing
Swing Melinda and promenade that ring
'cept for you, sweet Melinda, my wife
I been ridin' on empty most of my life
MIDDLE BREAK Basic - SSD Week 2
Four little ladies chain 3/4 around you go
Roll away and circle left around you know
The lonesome moan of this eighteen wheeler cuts through me like a knife
Left allemande gonna weave the ring around tonight
'cept for you, sweet Melinda, my wife
Dosado, promenade Melinda home
'cept for you, sweet Melinda, my wife
I been ridin' on empty most of my life
