Our First Year

D                                 
The winter wind was blowin' when 
  G
we loaded that old truck
      A                          
With a few things that we had and 
        D
all our dreams
       D                           
With my new bride there beside me 
 G
we headed down the road
A                            G   
I would show her places and 
        A      D
things she'd never seen

[Verse 2]

D                            G
First we went to Denver, Fort Worth,
 then San Antone
   A                          D
She cheered me on at every rodeo
    D                              
But Houston finally ended and then 
G
San Angelo
  A                               
I didn't want to tell her but she 
G        A        D
knew that we were broke

[Chorus]

          G       A               
But she never complained when the 
D
winnin's didn't come
G        A              D
She just took it all in stride
       G              A           
And if I rode good or bit the 
  D
dust, she was just as proud
G              A          D
She was happy bein' by my side

[Verse 3]

D                      G
Then in California the baby started 
showin'
    A                              
And all her clothes were gettin' 
     D
way too small
   D                           G
We couldn't spare the money to buy 
her any new ones
A                                 
She just wore my shirt and jeans 
   G      A       D
and didn't mind at all

[Verse 4]

    D                         G
And early in the mornin' we'd wake 
up by the roadside
A                                 
I'd build a fire and she'd get out
     D
 the eggs
      D                            
She'd cook us up some breakfast 
       G
then we'd sit down there on the 
grass
A                                 
Lord, those were the best meals I 
G       A    D
guess I ever ate

[Chorus]

          G       A               
But she never complained when the 
D
winnin's didn't come
G        A              D
She just took it all in stride
       G              A           
And if I rode good or bit the 
  D
dust, she was just as proud
G              A          D
She was happy bein' by my side

[Verse 5]

     D                            
Well now those days are over, and 
G
somehow we got ahead
     A                           
That little gal I married's still 
           D
here with me
   D                               
We finally got the house we planned
 G
 down there beside the stream
    A                           
And all those old hard times are 
      G         A    D
just cherished memories

[Chorus]

          G       A               
But she never complained when the 
D
winnin's didn't come
G        A              D
She just took it all in stride
       G              A           
And if I rode good or bit the 
  D
dust, she was just as proud
G              A          D
She was happy bein' by my side

[Otro]

G              A          D
She was happy bein' by my side
