She Did

                C
Oh she’d drag me out with spurs
       C
Into the candlelight
      G
She did.

                C
And she rode me like the bull
               C
In some honky-tonk
        G                    D
She did, oh yes she did

               Am
But she’d never had to worry
               C
About the dwindling of dollars
            G
Or how life could strike out iron 
spite
        D
And crush you without warning
       Am    C                    
But I did, Lo-Lord I surely did.
G       D



              Am
And I was bold when I first met her
Continues after the ad
      C                          
Enamored with all the things that 
             G
she did
                    Am
Oh but then something crept into me
            C                      
It was a blackness I hated and I so
          G            D
 deeply hid
               Am
But I was jealous and concerned
                          C
Like some damn beast and she was 
beauty
                         G
Thought some dashing man would sweep
 her up
         D
And bury me in torment
Am            C                  
Yes, I did, though I ain’t too 
                     G      D
proud of it


              C
Oh was I speaking holy tongues?
             D
Or withdrawing from you?
         Em                     
Did a plague of sinking feelings 
     G                             
leave me speaking in half-truths?
                     D

          C                    
Oh I do not have the stomach to 
                   G
repair these gaping wounds
           Am                      
I’ll take my share of the blame for
C                                 
 all the things I did.

                    C
So now our castle gates are broken
          C                        
The wreckage is the price for what 
                       G
we did
                    C
Oh yeah that girl she was my lover
     C                             
Now she is a stranger in the land 
          G                  D
in which I live
                    Am             
Oh ain’t it funny how far we travel
                              C
 in the company of friends
              G                    
Yet somehow the times we share but 
                                   D
fill our faces with regret?
    Am       C                    
Oh, I hate it, though I feel it 
                G        D
must be said.

              C
Oh was I speaking holy tongues?
             D

         Em

          C                    
Oh I do not have the stomach to 
                   G
repair these gaping wounds
           Am
