She Was Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]She[G] st[D]ar[A]
[G]ted her new life
Ten [A]dollars [D]in debt
And [G]that's all it took to get
star[A]ted [D]back then
A [G]trip to the court house,
[D]across the state line
[A]No one [Asus4]could stop her,
she'd [A]made up her mind
He was [G]eighteen, she was[A]n't

[Verse 2]
She said she [D]was
Never thought twice
Came [G]back home as my
daddy's [Asus4]wife
She [A]just shook her [D]head
When her mama said,
[Bm]"Are you sure he's the o[G]ne?"[D][Em]
[Asus4]And she w[A]as
[D]

[Verse 3]
[Gsus2]He took a[G] job and farmed on[A] the side[D]
[G]He made the ends meet but
[A]she kept them [D]tight
[G]Changes were coming to
[D]their little world
She said, [Asus4]"What would you like,
a [A]boy or a girl?"
He said, [G]"Are [A]you?"

[Verse 4]
She said she [D]was
Never thought twice
'Bout takin' the nex[G]t step
and building their [Asus4]lives
Soon there [A]were [D]three
She tried to [Bm]be everything to us[G][D][Em]
[A]And she was[D]

[Verse 5]
[G]Those precious moments [A]turned into years
In what [D]seemed like a [A]blink
of [Bm]the eye[A]
[G]I held her hand as I l[D]eaned
down to tell her
[Em]Mama, are you ready to say
[Asus4]goodbye?[D][A]

[Verse 6]
She said she [D]was
She thought twice
Holding my [G]hand as she let
go [Gsus2]of life[Asus4]
[A]Daddy always [D]said a woman like [Bm]her
would be hard to [G]give up[D][Em]
[A]And she was[Bm][G][D]
If there [Em]ever was a picture of [Asus4]love,
[A]she was
[D][Gsus2][G][Asus4]
