The song appears on the album "The Best Of Charley Pride".

This one uses Drop D tuning and a root down up root up down up rhythm pattern with a few riffs blended into the chords. This song only has three chords which are D, G and A.

Apartment #9 was never released as a single by Charley Pride when he recorded it in 1967.

Tammy Wynette released a version and had a minor hit.

Charley kept his version on the album "Pride Of Country Music".

The chords you'll need here are C, F, G  and a G7 played in standard tuning. For rhythm play a root up down up root up down up and repeat pattern with some lead work required.

Crystal Chandelier was another surprise to to find that this song was never released as a single.

It appears on Charley Prides 1967 album "The Country Way".

I play this one in standard tuning and blend in a bit of picking while playing the chords D, A, D7, A7 and a G. For rhythm you'll need a root down up root up down up and repeat pattern.

Fifteen Years Ago was recorded by Charley Pride but never released as a single. Conway Twitty had recorded the song in 1970 and had a #1 hit with his version.

Charley Pride released two singles from his 1971 album "From Me To You", but this song was not one of them.

Play a root down up root up down up and repeat rhythm pattern with the chords C, G7, G and F while in standard tuning. There is a little bit of lead in this one.

Kiss An Angel Good Morning was a track on the album  "Charley Pride Sings Heart Songs" which was released in 1971. This was not the only single from that album but is was a huge song.

It reach #1 in both Canada and the US and was his only song to cross over onto the Pop charts and reaching #23. George Jones, Conway Twitty and Alan Jackson have all covered this number.

This one only has three chords which are E, A and B7 played in standard tuning. I play a root up down up bass up down up and repeat rhythm pattern with a few riffs blended in and no lead.

Mountain Of Love was another huge song for Charley Pride hitting the top of the charts at #1 in the US and Canada.

The song hails from the album "Charley Sings Everybody's Choice".

This one works well with Drop D tuning and a capo on the 1st fret. The rhythm here is mainly down strokes with a rock n roll kind of vibe with the chords  D, A, G, Gbm, A7sus and A7. Lead work is required for this song.

Standing In My Way is a track from Charley Pride's 2017 album Music In My Heart.

I don't know about you but I find it odd that they would build a music video around this song, but not release it as a single.

I guess the benefits of getting a video play on video channels to promote the album is greater then trying to get airplay on country radio stations for an artist at the time who was in his late 70's. Maybe that's it.

Play this one with drop D tuning and use a down down up down up down up and repeat rhythm pattern. A bit of lead in this one as you play the chords D, G and A7.

The Snakes Crawl At Night was one of the very first singles released by Charley Pride back in 1966. Here is the surprise. The song never charted .

The track can be found on the album "Country Charley Pride".

I play this one in standard tuning with an E and B7 chord and a few riffs blended into the rhythm. Play with a root down up root up down up repeat rhythm pattern.
