On Her Way To Being A Woman Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Little girl from Calabasas
Grown on cornbread and molasses
In the [F#]lonely times
Mother [D]died when she was four
Father walked right out the door
And [C]found his future wait[Bm]ing
In a bottle [A]of wine
Though [D]she wasn't beautiful
Being plain was plentiful
with [F#]smiles to give away
Grow[D]ing up was hard to do
in her hand -me -downs
and her worn -out shoes
She [C]walked by on her [G]way to be a [A]woman
She [G]walked by on her way
to be a [D]woman
Longer [Em]today than [A]yesterday
[G]When [D]will [Em]love[A]
She [G]walked by on her way
to be a [D]woman, a [A]woman
She was[D]n't good as a carpenter,
the hole in the roof
bothered her
when the [F#]wind was rainin' in the bend
So [D]she went and called a man,
that was when
She [C]walked by on her [Bm]way to be a [A]woman,
she [G]walked by on her way
to be a [D]woman,
Happy [Em]today, and [A]yesterday,
[G]love [D]came [Em]in to st[A]ay.
[G]She'd walk by on her way to be a [D]woman,
oh, oh, [A]oh, oh, oh, oh, [Bb]oh, oh,
[Eb]were married a year or so,
he'd carpenter, she would sew,
[G]a bonnet for their baby girl
They [Eb]would wait and watch her grow,
till the time they would know
[Db]She'd walk by on her [Cm]way
to be a [Bb]woman
[Ab]She'd walk by on her way
to be a [Eb]woman
[Bb]Woman
[Ab]She'd walk by on her way
to be a [Eb]woman
[Bb]Woman
[Ab]She'd walk by on way to be a [Eb]woman
[Bb]Woman
[Ab]She'd walk by on way to be a woman you
