Intro

(C) (F) (G)

(C) (F) (G)

(C) Standin' on the (F) side of the (G) Highway 4 (C) exit

Lady in a (F) tie-dye with a (G) bag by her (C) side

Not really (F) lookin' like (G) anything (C) special

Saw Tennessee (F) tags and she (G) waved for a (C) ride

Sat right be(F)side me as the (G) 'meter hit (C) sixty

'Splainin' her (F) travels and her (G) family back(C)ground

When she got (F) through, I could (G) not help but (C) thinkin'

She's a long way from the (F) West Nashville (G) Grand Ballroom (C) Gown

(G) Father had money and her (D) mother had (G) love

Channeled entirely to her (D) dear sister (G) Dove

Twenty-two years in so(D)ciety's (G) plan

Was cancelled with a swing of her (F) dear mother's (D) hand

(C) Six hours (F) later, we (G) hit Cincina(C)tti

Yawnin' she (F) woke and then (G) asked where we (C) were

When she found (F) out, she said, (G) "I must be (C) goin'"

This close to (F) Nashville was (G) too close for (C) her

So I stopped by the (F) roadside and I (G) gave her five (C) dollars

She took it then (F) kissed me and (G) gave me a (C) note

She told me just to (F) read it and (G) mail it to (C) Nashville

On old looseleaf (F) paper to her (G) mother she (C) wrote:

She said: (G) Mama, I'm fine, if you (D) happen to (G) wonder

I don't have much money but I (D) still get a(G)round

I haven't made church in near (D) thirty-six (G) Sundays

So fuck all those West Nashville (F) Grand ballroom (D) Gowns

She's a long way from the West Nashville (F) Grand Ballroom (G) Gown
