[Verse 1]
Em D G G6/D
She was her daddy's little darling
C G6/D G C G6/D G6/D G G F# Em
Her mama's only child
[Verse 2]
Em D G G6/D
They didn't understand at all
C G6/D G C G6/D G6/D G G F# Em
When she took to running wild
[Verse 3]
Em
She left town one day
D D7
And never said goodbye
G G6/D
And left a hole in Daddy's lap
C C Em
And a tear in Mama's eye
Em G F# Em D
Where'd we go wrong?
C G C G6/D G6/D G G F# Em
And now she's gone
[Verse 4]
Em D G G6/D
She met a boy up in Kentucky
C G6/D G C G6/D G6/D G G F# Em
Charlie was his name
[Verse 5]
Em D G G6/D
Just when he thought he got lucky
C G6/D G C G6/D G6/D G G F# Em
She stole his watch and chain
[Verse 6]
Em G6/D
She always kept on moving
D D
And she never wasted time
G
And they said
C Em
She left quite a string of broken hearts behind
Em G F# D
Woke up alone
C G C G6/D G6/D G G F# Em
And now she's gone

[Verse 7]
Em D G
Me, I wasn't even trying
C G C G6/D G6/D G G F# Em
You could say I was content
[Verse 8]
Em D G G6/D
She went through my life like lightning
C G6/D G C G6/D G6/D G G F# Em
Blew out the other end
[Outro]
G G6/D
Well I still taste her kisses
D
Smell her perfume in the wind
G
And if I could
C
You know that I would do it all again
Em G F# Em D
She done me wrong
C G C Bm G6/D G
And now she's gone
