We Must Have Been Out Of Our Minds
Written by Melba Montgomery
Recorded by George Jones and Melba Montgomery
(A)We said our goodbyes(A7) long (D)ago,
Never (A)thinking weād miss each other (E7)so,
All the (A)memories we canāt (A7)leave (D)behind,
Oh, we (A)must have been (E7)out of our (A)minds.
I (E7)thought I loved another, not (A)you,
How (B7)foolish, I thought the same, (E7)too,
They (A)both turned out to (A7)be the wrong (D)kind,
Oh, we (A)must have been (E7)out of our (A)minds.
Letās forgive and forget the past weāve known,
And reap together the wild seeds weāve sown,
Surely they can forgive us and find,
That we must have been out of our minds.
The verses are sung by both George and Melba. On the
chorus, Melba takes the first line, George the second, then they do the last
two together. This is one of my favorite George Jones songs. Iād like to find
a whole album of just these two singing together.
