Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: : ain't no lie
"Oh Babe It Ain't No Lie" is an Elizabeth Cotton tune. The same lady who wrote "Freight Train." If you've never heard her recording of the tune, you really should look it up.

Below are the chords I play. If someone has better ones, perhaps they'll post them as well.

Oh Babe It Ain't No Lie

  There's one old woman in this town,         (C,E,F)
Keeps tellin' those lies on me, (F,C,G7,C)
I wish to the Lord that woman would die, {C,E,F)
Keeps tellin' those lies on me. (F,C,G7,C)

Oh Babe it ain't no lie, (C,D,G7,C)
Oh Babe it ain't no lie, (E,F)
Oh Babe it ain't no lie, (F,C)
This life I'm livin' is very high. (C.G7,C)
