Good Lord Lorrie

G                          Em    
Lorrie lit a cigarette and smiled
               C                G
 and waved the smoke out of her face
         G                         
With her black hair brown from the 
Em                C              
summer sun, green eyes looked 
        G    C  G
around the place
         G                         
Then she told me that she loved me 
      Em                      C   
and I grinned and grabbed her hand
            G
 and said I know
      G                 Em        
Let's get from here now darlin' if
      C                     G
 we're goin' let's go on and go

G  Em  C  G  x2

      G                            
Well, Lorrie said her family used 
  Em                           
to have a little money and they 
C                   G
still act like they do
         G                     Em 
But your daddy don't think I'm fit
           C                  G
 to sit in the same room with you
         G                Em   
And if I ever set foot in Sevier 
                    C              
County, well your brother said he'd
            G
 break my jaw
G                   Em       
Here I stand with a dark haired 
               C              G
daughter of southwest Arkansas

[Chorus]
              C        C/B
And I've been learnin' that 
    Am             G      G/F#    
believin' and that barely breakin'
 Em
 even
     C      C/B     Am           
It's just a part of life for you 
    G
and me
              C      C/B    
And I've been livin' with the 
  Am             G        G/F#  
loneliness, it's got down in my 
Em
bones I guess
     C     C/B    Am             
It's just another phase of being 
D
free
              Am                   
And I've been learnin' how to lose 
                            C
a thing I never laid a hand on all 
along

Lorrie's got a buddy with a

double wide trailer, they were 
        G
shaking dominoes
          G                      
And I had good intentions 'til I 
Em                  C           G
had too many, I was stupid I suppose
           G                       
You better put a little money where
      Em               C

      G                            
Well, Lorrie said I wonder what we 
Em                 C             
ever went through all this 
   G
trouble for
          G             Em        
You ain't half of who I thought

        G                      
And her words cut clean through

drunk and dark and dimmin' doorway
  G
 light
           G             Em
