Subject: Love Hurts as done by Gram Parsons

I hear the song differently then the gentleman whose interpretation is in
the Cowpie archives.  Maybe you could put my interpretation in the
newsletter and some knowledgable person will fix either of our versions.

                 --Love Hurts--       by Boudleaux Bryant

[Intro]
G   Em   C   D 

     G           Em          C          D
Love hurts, love scars, love wounds and mars
    G         Em        C       D
Any heart not tough nor strong enough
                 G     B7            Em
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
G7             C                     D
Love is like a cloud, pulls a lot of rain
     G       F  C       G 
Love hurts,  Oooo, love hurts 

I'm young, I know, but even so
I know a thing or two I've learned from you
I've really learned a lot, really learned a lot
Love is like a stove, burns you when it's hot
Love hurts,  Oooo, love hurts


Em                  B7   Em    B7      Em      B7    Em
Some fools think of happiness, blissfulness, togetherness
A    A7                                            
Some fools fool themselves, I guess 
                   A    D 
But they're not fooling me 
                G     B7            Em
I know it isn't true, know it isn't true
G7             C                    D 
Love is just a lie made to make you blue
     G      F  C       G
Love hurts, Oooo, love hurts 


    [Instrumental Break]
D    G   Em   C   G
 
     G      F  C       G
Love hurts, Oooo, love hurts
F  C       G
Ohhh, love hurts
