SHE CAME FROM FORT WORTH Kathy Mattea

Bb Gm Eb F

CHORUS: She came from Fort Worth (but) Fort Worth couldn't hold her

Bb Gm Eb F

Her dreams were bigger than the Texas sky

Bb Eb Bb Gm

She's got a one-way ticket on the next bus for Boulder

Eb F Bb

And it won't take long to say goodbye

Eb F Eb Bb

She was workin' at a diner just a week ago

Gm Bb Eb F

When a man from Colorado smiled and said hello

Bb Gm Eb Bb

And he turned her head with stories about a cabin in the trees

Gm Eb Bb F

Where the wind can sing you love songs beneath snow-capped mountain peaks

Eb F Eb Bb

Now she's packed her faded jeans and her favorite cowboy boots

Gm Bb Eb F

Left her apron at the diner for someone else to use

Bb Gm Eb Bb

One last look in the mirror at the girl she used to be

Gm Eb Bb F

Then the driver takes her ticket and she tries to fall asleep

repeat chorus

Eb F Eb Bb

And somewhere in the long dark night the snow began to fall

Gm Bb Eb F

Oh, the world outside was sparkling white when she heard the driver call

Bb Gm Eb Bb

"Everyone off now for Boulder and have a real nice day"

Gm Eb Bb F

He was waitin' on the platform and he raised his hand to wave

Eb F Eb Bb

And she offered no resistance as he took her to his cabin

Gm Eb Bb F

And that diner in the distance seemed just like it never happened.

repeat chorus then last two lines of chorus
