I Was

Intro: G C F G C F

G                 C               
I drove up from a rivertown, it 
F             C
was late September early October.
G                                  
C                         F
C
Thought maybe I could clear my mind 
and see the leaves turn red.
G                      C
The tunes up and the windows down
         F                   
On the skyline drive when she 
 C
flagged me over
G                    C
"Hallelujah what a beautiful 
morning"
         F                    C
Where the first words that she said
A             F         C       
Her eyes were blue as the sky on
        F
 a perfect blue ridge day
A                  F       C    
She said, "I could use a lift if
              F
 you're going my way," and........

   A  Asus4             A    
I was............  I was headed 
    F
south, I was headed out
         C          F       C    
headed nowhere or anywhere we 
    G
wanted to go
     A F         C             F
The road stretched out in front of 
us
            C             F    
And she was ready to run it just 
       A
like I was.

G                C
Told me she was twenty two
           F                 C
and she'd just broken out of William
 and Mary
G                                 
   C                    F
C
Another summer under daddy's roof 
was all that she could do
G                C
Her boyfriend, she cut him loose
     F                    C
Too cold for a wedding in January
G                  C              
She said, "thats enough about me 
 F            C
now tell me about you"
 A       F         C              
I rambled on about broken hearts and
 F
 staying too long
A              F                 
She said, "Im sorry, but you were
C           F
 right to move on"  and.......

(repeat chorus)

A             F         C       
Aint it funny how everything 
      F
hinges on a twist of fate
A           F            C      
She held my hand and said "Arent
     F
 you amazed"  and......

(repeat chorus)
