Actual key D# (capo 1st fret)
She Was
G A
She started her new life ten dollars in debt
G A
That’s all it took to get started back then
G A
A trip to the courthouse across the state line
G A
No one could stop her she’d made up her mind
G A
He was eighteen and she wasn’t…
(chorus)
D F#m
But she said she was and never thought twice
G A
Came back home as my daddy’s wife
D
She just shook her head
Bm G A
And her momma said “are you sure he’s the one?”
D
She was
G A
He took a job and farmed on the side
G A
He made the ends meet but she kept them tight
G A
Changes were coming to their little world
G A
She said “what would you like a boy or a girl?”
G A
And he said, “are you?”…
(chorus)
D F#m
And she said she was and never thought twice
G A
About taking the next step and building their lives
D Bm G A
Soon there were three and she tried to be everything to us
D
And she was…
(bridge)
G A
Those precious moments turned into years
D A G/F#
In what seemed like a blink of an eye
Em G
I held her hand as I leaned down to ask her
Em A
“Momma are you ready to say good bye?”
(chorus)
D F#m
She said she was but she thought twice
G A
Holding my hand as she let go of life
D Bm G A
Daddy always said a woman like her would be hard to give up
Bm
And she was
G A
If there ever was a picture of love
D
She was
