Intro in the verse chords with harmonica
Em D G
She was her daddy's little darlin'
C G C C/B G
Her mama's only child
Em D G
They didn't understand at all when
C G C C/B G
She took to running wild
Em D
She left town one day and never said goodbye
G C
Left a hole in daddy's lap and a tear in mama's eye
Em D G C G C C/B G
Where'd we go wrong and now she's gone
(other verses the same)
She met a boy up in Kentucky
Charlie was his name
Just when he thought he got lucky
She stole his watch and chain
She always kept on movin' and she never wasted time
And they said she left quite a string of broken hearts behind
Woke up alone and now she's gone
Verse chords with harmonica
Me, I wasn't even trying
You could say I was content
She went through my life like lightning
Blew out the other end
I still taste her kisses, smell her perfume in the wind
And if I could you know that I would do it all again
She done me wrong, and now she's gone
Note: I'm not too sure about the C C/B G run but it's close enough for my purposes.
Feel free to change. gw
