Suds in the bucket

A

[Verse 1]
A                       D        
She was in the backyard say it 
                A
was a little past nine,
                       D     E    
When her prince pulled up, a white
        A
 pickup truck.
A                                 
Her folks should've seen it coming
        D                     A
 it was only just a matter of time.

[Refrain]
             D      E             
Plenty old e-nough, and you can't 
     A
stop love.

[Verse 2]
A                                 
She stuck a note on the screen 
   D                  A
door, sorry but I got to go,
                     D      E 
And that was all she wrote, her 
                    A
momma's heart was broke,

[Refrain]
                     D      E     
And that was all she wrote, so the
       A
 story goes...

[Chorus]
         F#m
Now her daddy's in the kitchen,
E                       D        
Starin' out the window, 
                  A
scratchin' and rackin' his brains:
           F#m                 E  
"How could eighteen years just up 
           D
and walk a-way?"
           F#m                     
Our little pony-tailed girl, growed
 E
 up to be a woman,
          D                       
Now she's gone in the blink of an 
A
eye.
             A
She left the suds in the bucket,
Continues after the ad
        E                         
And the clothes hangin out on the 
A - E - A
line,

[Verse 3]
A                           
Now don't you wonder what the 
                   D               
preacher's gonna preach about 
    A
Sunday morn?,
                   D     E 
Nothin' quite like this, has 
                   A
happened here be-fore.
Well he must've been a looker, a 
D                       A
smooth-talkin' son-of-a-gun,
                     D    E       
For such a grounded girl, to just 
       A
up and run.

[Refrain]
                        D     E   
'Course you can't fence time, and 
               A
you can't stop love.

[Chorus]
            F#m
Now all the bitties in the beauty 
shop,
E                      D         
Gossip going non-stop, sippin' on
            A
 pink lemon-ade:
           F#m                 E  
"How could eighteen years just up 
           D
and walk a-way?"
           F#m                     
Our little pony-tailed girl, growed
 E
 up to be a woman,
          D                       
Now she's gone in the blink of an 
A
eye.
             A
She left the suds in the bucket,
        E                          
And the clothes hangin' out on the 
A
line, ye-hoo!

She's got her pretty little bare 
feet,
E                                
Hangin' out the window and their 
D                     A
headed up to Vegas to-night:
           F#m                 E  
"How could eighteen years just up 
           D
