She Only Meant to Use Him Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
She [G]was young and she
was pretty
And she [C]met him in [G]the city
And some[Em]how he fit r[D]ight into her [G]plan

[Verse 2]
She [G]knew she'd hit it lucky
[C]He owned half of Ken[G]tucky and best of all
He [Em]was a[D] sixty year old [G]man

[Verse 3]
She [G]let him think he'd caught her
She [C]led him to the [G]al ter
[Em]Totin' seven [D]carats on [G]her hand

[Verse 4]
[G]All dressed up in satin
Oh, the good [C]Lord wasted that [G]one
But she [Em]knew she'd be the
[D]winner in [G]the end

[Verse 5]
'Cause she [C]only meant to use him
She [G]only meant to use him
And she didn't care if
what she did was [D]wrong

[Verse 6]
She [C]only meant to use him
And she [G]knew what she [Em]was doin'
In a few [G]years she'd be [D]rich
and he'd be gone
[G]

[Verse 7]
[A]
In their million dollar palace
The [D]man grew old and [A]jealous
And he [F#m]never let [E]her leave
the house [A]alone

[Verse 8]
She was [A]in her prime and holdin'
[D]She knew that he was old
[A]And chances wer[F#m]e he wouldn't
[E]be around that [A]long

[Verse 9]
As [A]the days and nights grew longer
[D]The greed in her grew [A]stronger
And [F#m]it even crossed her
[E]mind to take his [A]life

[Verse 10]
But he [A]found out he'd been taken
And his [D]pride was badly [A]shaken
And [F#m]he knew she never [E]meant to be [A]a wife

[Verse 11]
And she [D]only meant to use him
She [A]only meant to use him
But she knew just what she
wanted in the [E]end

[Verse 12]
She [D]only meant to use him
But he [A]knew what she [F#m]was doin'
And he [A]swore she'd never [E]have
a dime to spend
[A]

[Verse 13]
[B]
Tormented by frustration
She [E]watched her beauty [B]wastin'
As [G#m]the lines upon her [F#]face began [B]to show

[Verse 14]
She [B]turned to heavy drinkin'
'Cause [E]her ship was slowly sink[B]in'
And [G#m]the bottle was the [F#]only place [B]to go

[Verse 15]
[B]Now 20 odd years later
The [E]headlines in the pa[B]per
Said they [G#m]laid her soul t[F#]o rest a[B]t 53

[Verse 16]
And when they wheeled him to her coffin
He [E]took her diamond [B]off
And he just [G#m]smiled and finally [F#]died [B]at 93

[Verse 17]
Yes, she [E]only meant to use him
Lord [B]knows she meant to use him
But she died with seven carats on [F#]her hand

[Verse 18]
[E]All dressed up in satin
Oh, the [B]good Lord wasted that [E]one
But her [B]husband died a
[F#]satisfied old [E]man[A]
[B]

[Verse 19]
Yes, she was young and she was pretty
And [E]she met him in [B]the city
And some[G#m]how he fit ri[F#]ght into he[B]r plan

[Verse 20]
She [B]knew she'd hit it lucky
He [E]owned half of Ken
[B]tucky and best of [G#m]all
He was [F#]a sixty year old man
