You Couldn't Get The Picture Song Lyrics and Chords by George Jones

You Couldn't Get The Picture

Recorded by George Jones

Written by Chuck Harter

I walked in the front door turned the light on

in the

hall

Then I saw the post-it notes that she had stuck up on the wall

The

first one said I love you

but I can't live on love

alone

The Little yellow post-it-notes were stuck up

every

where

One was on the microwave and

one on the Frigi

daire

It said I cried all night

But you weren't there to watch the teardrops

fall

But if

you couldn't get the picture

Maybe

you can read the

writing on the

wall

Sometimes you do what you've gotta do if you do anything at

all

Sometimes it takes a freight train coming

Sometimes it takes a mountain to

fall

Sometimes you do what you've gotta do

Sometimes you gotta walk before you

crawl

But if

you couldn't get the picture

Maybe

you can read the

writing on the

wall

The post-it note on her pillow said the

lonely nights were

hell

The one on the mirror said take a good look at yourself

And the

ones you put on the closet door

Said I waited long enough for you to

call

But if

you couldn't get the picture

Maybe

you can read the

writing on the

wall

Sometimes you do what you've gotta do if you do anything at

all

But if

you couldn't get the picture

Maybe

you can read the

writing on the

wall

But if

you couldn't get the picture

Maybe y

ou can read the

writing on the

wall

Who is George Jones?
- George Glenn Jones (September 12, 1931 - April 26, 2013) was an American musician, singer, and songwriter. He achieved international fame for his long list of hit records, including his best-known song "He Stopped Loving Her Today", as well as his distinctive voice and phrasing. For the last two decades of his life, Jones was frequently referred to as the greatest living country singer. Country music scholar Bill Malone writes, "For the two or three minutes consumed by a song, Jones immerses himself so completely in its lyrics, and in the mood it conveys, that the listener can scarcely avoid becoming similarly involved." Waylon Jennings expressed a similar opinion in his song "It's Alright": "If we all could sound like we wanted to, we'd all sound like George Jones." The shape of his nose and facial features earned Jones the nickname "The Possum".Born in Texas, Jones first heard country music when he was seven, and was given a guitar at the age of nine. He married his first wife, Dorothy Bonvillion, in 1950, and was divorced in 1951. He served in the United States Marine Corps and was discharged in 1953. He married Shirley Ann Corley in 1954. In 1959, Jones recorded "White Lightning", written by J. P. Richardson, which launched his career as a singer. His second marriage ended in divorce in 1968 he married fellow country music singer Tammy Wynette a year later. Years of alcoholism compromised his health and led to his missing many performances, earning him the nickname "No Show Jones". After his divorce from Wynette in 1975, Jones married his fourth wife, Nancy Sepulvado, in 1983 and became sober for good in 1999. Jones died in 2013, aged 81, from hypoxic respiratory failure.
George Jones has been called "The Rolls Royce Of Country Music" and had more than 160 chart singles to his name from 1955 until his death in 2013.
Johnny Cash once said, "When people ask me who my favorite country singer is, I say, 'You mean besides George Jones?'"
