She Was - Mark Chesnutt

**Capo 1**

Intro: D  D/F#  G  A

    G                        A           D
She started her new life ten dollars in debt
G                          A            D
That’s all it took to get started back then
  G                        D/F#
A trip to the courthouse across the state line
A                           
No one could stop her she’d made up her mind
       G                A
He was eighteen and she wasn’t


Chorus 1:
                 D                     D/F#
But she said she was and never thought twice
          G                  A
Came back home as my daddy’s wife
                   D
She just shook her head
               Bm                         G  D/F# Em A
When her momma said are you sure he’s the one
      D  D/F#  G  A
She was


G                 A              D
He took a job and farmed on the side
G                         A              D
He made the ends meet but she kept them tied
G                      D/F#
Changes were coming to their little world
          A                         
She said what would you like a boy or a girl
             G        A
And he said are you...


Chorus 2:
                 D                     D/F#
And she said she was and never thought twice
                  G                           A
About taking the next step and building their lives
                 D                  
Soon there were three
                 Bm               G  D/F# Em A
And she tried to be everything to us
        D
And she was


G                      A
Those precious moments turned into years
        D             A/C#        Bm7         
In what seemed like a blink of an eye
G                     D/F#
I held her hand as I leaned down to ask her
Em                      A
Momma are you ready to say goodbye


Chorus 3:
             D                   D/F#
She said she was but she thought twice
           G                     A
Holding my hand as she let go of life
             D                 
Daddy always said 
             Bm                        G  D/F# Em A
A woman like her would be hard to give up
         Bm7  G  D/F#
And she was
         Em                    A
If there ever was a picture of love
     Bm7  G  A  D
She was
