Not Ready To Make Nice (SIR 609)  Jack Borgström   (The Dixie Chicks)

 

OPENER: CIRCLE LEFT:

Forgive… sounds good… forget… I’m not sure I could

ALLEMANDE LEFT the Corner, come back a DO SA DO

ALLEMANDE the Corner of the hall and WEAVE around THAT RING

I’m not ready to make nice, not ready to back down

SWING your Girl around and ‘round and all will PROMENADE

It’s too late to make it right – probably wouldn’t if I could

 ‘Cause I’m mad as hell, can’t bring myself 

                                                 – to do what it is, you think I should

                                                                

 

FIGURE: HEADS PROMENADE - HALF WAY around that ring

Walk in and SQUARE THRU get me FOUR hands around you do

All the way and do the RIGHT AND LEFT THRU on the other side

You VEER to the LEFT and then FERRIS WHEEL in to the middle and then

SQUARE THRU THREE hands around you know

SWING your Lady ‘round and ‘round and all will PROMENADE

It’s too late to make it right – probably wouldn’t if I could

 ‘Cause I’m mad as hell, can’t bring myself 

                                                 – to do what it is, you think I should

 

 

MIDDLE BREAK: FOUR LADIES CHAIN - across that old ring

You turn and CHAIN THEM right back home across you know

Join hands CIRCLE to the LEFT in a ring

ALLEMANDE the Corner of the hall and WEAVE around THAT RING

I’m not ready to make nice - not ready to back down

SWING me Girl around and ‘round - PROMENADE

It’s too late to make it right – probably wouldn’t if I could

 ‘Cause I’m mad as hell, can’t bring myself 

                                                 – to do what it is, you think I should

 

 

CLOSER: SIDES FACE GRAND SQUARE:

Forgive - sounds good - Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say - time heals - I’m still waiting

ALLEMANDE LEFT and you WEAVE THE RING

Not ready to make nice - not ready to back down

SWING your Girl around and ‘round and all will PROMENADE

It’s too late to make it right – probably wouldn’t if I could

 ‘Cause I’m mad as hell, can’t bring myself 

                                                 – to do what it is, you think I should

 

 

TAG: FOUR LADIES CHAIN OVER AND BACK

                – Forgive… sounds good… Forget… I’m not sure I could…

 

 

Original Lyrics:

 

Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I’m not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I’m still waiting

I’m through with doubt
There’s nothing left for me to figure out
I’ve paid a price
And I’ll keep paying

I know you said
Can’t you just get over it
It turned my whole world around
And I kind of like it

I’m not ready to make nice I’m not ready to back down
I’m still mad as hell and I don’t have time to go round and round and round
It’s too late to make it right I probably wouldn’t if I could

‘Cause I’m mad as hell can’t bring myself to do what it is you think I should
