SWEETHEARTS IN HEAVEN
  As sung by Buck Owens
  
  Chorus:
  Eb                             Bb             Ab        Eb
  Will there be sweethearts in heaven after we cross the line
  Eb                     Ab       Eb     Bb           Eb
  If the angels have sweethearts then I want you for mine
  
      Eb
  If I should go first and leave you behind
                                        Bb
  To face life alone just bare this in mind
        Eb
  That I'll be a-waiting if heaven's my fate 
      Ab              Bb                          Eb
  To take you by the hand just inside the pearly gates
  
  
  lead
  
      Eb             
  Now I'd be a tramp and sleep in the street  
                                      Bb
  Or I'd be a beggar with rags on my feet
  Eb
  If I knew for sure when the time comes to part 
  Ab           Bb                  Eb
  Someday in heaven you'd be my sweetheart
  
  go to chorus to end

"Idol of the Band" lyrics from a great Hoyt site......Hoyt Axton Explodes---Click Here

IDOL OF THE BAND

Seems like we've been on the road a hundred years or more
Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining.
Sometimes we get tired and sometimes we get wired,
And sometimes we get kind of lonesome too.

CHORUS And you may just be some small-towns' mother's daughter
But today, for just a moment, you were the idol
Of the whole damn band
Of the whole damn band

Been in love a thousand times from Maine to Mexico
Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining.
I know you'll understand honey we are a traveling band,
But we'll write you everyday after we've gone

CHORUS

Love is sweet but love is blind when love is on the run
Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining.
We don't need no money honey we'll still have some fun,
But before we go we'll sing the song for you.

CHORUS

Sorry .....No chords, but it's not a tough one and a basic I, IV, V with some variants.

Joe--there's nothing to transcribe; it's just an instrumental clip. Guest, is this the right "Dreams of a Dreamer"? Found at this site. Sure sounds like a song Hoyt would have sung.

Song Lyrics: DREAMS OF A DREAMER
Album Lyrics:
[Buy " " CD]

Lost my pickup in a card game in New Orleans
Lost my girl to a stranger in L.A.
Left my dreams in a motel in Atlanta
And I guess I lost my mind along the way

Can't you see I'm dyin' on my feet
Walkin' to my grave, too gone to weep
These old memories is tearin' up my mind
There just dreams of a dreamer gone blind

The bright lights have gone away for the good times
This old yearning in my soul chills my brain
The ashes of my years have been scattered
By the laughter, wine and life of yesterday

Can't you see I'm dyin' on my feet
Walkin' to my grave, too gone to weep
These old memories is tearin' up my mind
There just dreams of a dreamer gone blind
These old memories is tearin' up my mind
There just dreams of a dreamer gone blind
