Intro F/Am/G/G
F/Am/G/G
N/C F
I followed her around
C
I was quite na•ve
F
Holes in my soul
C
I wore my heart upon my sleeve
F
Down a winding country road
Am
Despite the stories I'd been told
F
Now I don't go into town
C
Since I followed her around Still I watched in disbelief
From the shadows of my grief
She wore lipstick black as coal
And her boots up to her knees
How could I even speak my mind?
Oh the boys are making time
I bowed my head without a sound
Since I followed her around G
Everybody's got a hunger
F C
And a seed they've got to sow
G
I should have listened to my mother
F Am D
When she cried no child no
F
Son get your feet back on the ground
C
Don't go follow her around I watched her from afar
The pretty flower it did bloom
Oh how that girl could work a bar
As she waltzed around the room
I couldn't take it anymore
Tried to get her out the door
One more time she shot me down
Since I followed her around CHORUS SOLO F/Am/G/G
F/Am/G/G N/C
Now I'm old and wise
Still got that sparkle in my eyes
And all my kids have come and gone
All except my youngest son
It was just the other day
Well I swore I heard him say
Dad I'm heading in to town
I think he follows her around Dad I'm heading in to town
I think he follows her around
Dad I'm heading in to town
I think he follows her around
