ALBUM: Carrying On
Writers: Chris Knight/Gary Nicholson
Capo 3rd Fret / Key of "F"
Intro: D G D G D G D G
D G
Sometimes I think what turned her on
D G D
Was my old broke down boots
G
She wanted her a real cowboy
D G
It was a phase she was goin' through
D G
Not one week after she moved in
D G D
I caught her paintin' the bedroom blue
G
Brought home a bottle of pink chablis
D G
Poured out my best home brew
A Bm
I was sittin' on the porch in my overalls
G
When she packed her things to leave
A D G
She changed her mind when she couldn't change me
--Chorus
D G
She changed direction, headed out west
D G
Changed her tune to some hip-hop mess
D A
Her dark brown hair went to blonde
Bm7 G
And her pretty blue eyes went to green
A D
She changed everything when she couldn't change me
--Break-> G D G
D G D
She was sittin' beside the ocean (ocean)
G
Lookin' out at the waves
D G
Watchin' how they keep on rollin'
D G D
They always seem the same
G
She called and said she'd been thinkin' about
D G
All those quiet country nights
D G
And whatever she thought was so wrong with me
D G
Suddenly seemed alright
A Bm
I was sittin' on the porch in my overalls
G
When her truck pulled into view
A D
She said, "I changed my mind when I couldn't change you"
--Chorus#2
D G
She changed direction, headed back home
D G
She changed her tune, it's all Haggard and Jones
D A
Had her dark brown hair pulled back
Bm7 G
And the bluest eyes you've ever seen
A D G
She changed everything when she couldn't change me
D A
She said, "I guess when you love someone
Bm7 G
You just gotta let it be"
A D
She changed her mind when she couldn't change me
--Solo-> G D G D G D G
--Chorus#3
D G
She changed direction, she's back in my arms
D G
She thought it through, had a change of heart
D A
She said, "I guess when you love someone
Bm7 G
You just gotta let it be"
A Bm
She changed her mind when she couldn't change me
G
Yeah, yeah
A D G D G
She changed it all when she couldn't change me
D G D G
She couldn't change me
D G D G D G D (fades out)
She couldn't change me
