She Was Chords by Joe Nichols

[Intro]

C   F  G
 
 
[Verse]

     F
She started her new life
     G          C
Ten dollars in debt
     F                         
And that's all it took to 
     G            C
get started back then
 
   F                          
A trip to the court house, 
   C
across the state line
G
No one could stop her, 

she'd made up her mind
 
        F             G
He was eighteen, she wasn't
 
 
[Chorus]
              C
She said she was
 
Never thought twice
           F                  
Came back home 
               G
as my daddy's wife
 
                    C
She just shook her head
                Am                           
When her momma said, 
                        F  C Dm7 G
"Are you sure he's the one?"
     C  Em  C
She was
 
 
[Verse]

F                   G             
He took a job, and farmed 
        C
on the side
F                          G             
He made the ends meet but she 
           C
kept them tight
 F                      C
Changes were coming to their 

little world
            G
She said, "What would you like, 

a boy or a girl?"
           F       G
He said, "Are you?"
 
 
[Chorus]
              C
She said she was
 
Never thought twice
               F                             
By taking the next steps 
                    G
and building their lives
 
                 C
Soon there were three
             Am               F C Dm7 G
She tried to be everything to us
         C
And she was
 
 
[Break]

 F                      
Those precious moments 
 G
turned into years
         C             
In what seemed like 
   G/B         Am  G/B
a blink of the eye
F                     
I held her hand as 
   C
I leaned down to tell her
 Dm7                   
Momma, are you 
        Gsus4     G
ready to say goodbye?
 
 
[Chorus]
              C
She said she was
 
She thought twice
            F                     
Holding my hand as 
               G
she let go of life
 
              C                                        
Daddy always said 
             Am
a woman like her 
                      F C Dm G
would be hard to give up
        Am Am  F C
And she was
 
          Dm                   
If there ever was 
             Gsus4 G7
a picture of love
     C C F G   C
She was
