Song: She Was

Artist: Mark Chesnutt

Transposed by: Eddie Garcia (string50@hotmail.com)

Actual key D# (capo 1st fret)

G A

She started her new life ten dollars in debt

G A

That’s all it took to get started back then

G A

A trip to the courthouse across the state line

G A

No one could stop her she’d made up her mind

G A

He was eighteen and she wasn’t…

(chorus)

D F#m

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 A

And her momma said “are you sure he’s the one?”

D

She was

G A

He took a job and farmed on the side

G A

He made the ends meet but she kept them tight

G A

Changes were coming to their little world

G A

She said “what would you like a boy or a girl?”

G A

And he said, “are you?”…

(chorus)

D F#m

And she said she was and never thought twice

G A

About taking the next step and building their lives

D Bm G A

Soon there were three and she tried to be everything to us

D

And she was…

(bridge)

G A

Those precious moments turned into years

D A G/F#

In what seemed like a blink of an eye

Em G

I held her hand as I leaned down to ask her

Em A

“Momma are you ready to say good bye?”

(chorus)

D F#m

She said she was but she thought twice

G A

Holding my hand as she let go of life

D Bm G A

Daddy always said a woman like her would be hard to give up

Bm

And she was

G A

If there ever was a picture of love

D

She was
