Nanci Griffith - Ford Econoline guitar chord

***CAPO 2***

C C

She drove west from Salt Lake City to the California coastline

C C G

She hit the San Diego Freeway doing sixty miles an hour

C

She had a husband on her bumper

C

She had five restless children

C C G C

She was singing sweet as a mockingbird in that Ford Econoline

***Chorus:***

F C

She's salt of the earth

G C

Straight from the bosom of the Mormon church

F C

With a voice like wine

G Bb

Cruising along in that Ford Econoline

*********

C C

Now her husband was a gambler, he was a Salt Lake City rounder

C C C G

He built a golden cage around his silver throated wife

C C

Too many nights he left her crying with his cheating and lying

C C G C

But his big mistake was in buying her that Ford Econoline

***Chorus***

***Instrumental Solo

***Chorus***

C

Now she sings her songs around this country

C

From Seattle to Montgomery

C C

Those kids are grown and that rounder knows

C C G

You can not cage your wife

C

All on the back roads of our nation

C

She's become a living ledgend

C C

She drives a Coup DeVille but her heart rides still

G C

In that Ford Econoline

C C

She drives a Coup DeVille but her heart rides still

G C

In that Ford Econoline
