Capo 5th fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
x4
Verse 1
Well the first time, that I ever saw her
I picked her up, in my Chevy Malibu.
Goin' to the grocery, for her mother
For a loaf of bread, and a Pepsi Cola too.
Verse 2
Well she got in, and she rolled down the window
I said man turn it up! I love that country tune.
She was wearin' the finest, rabbit skin halter
I was overcome, by the smell of her perfume.
Chorus
But then I saw her, standing at the alter
mmm hmm, Of everlasting life.
Standin' there, with a boy named Walter
He was expecting her to be his wife.
Little did I, know my heart was breakin'
And I could not, say a thing.
Then the preacher, posed the final question
N/ ->( )* x4
Then I heard, those church bells ring.
Instrumental/Solo (over chorus)*
Verse 3
Well she was young, and so kind-hearted
That she wrecked my world, and she left me with the blues.
She called me sugar, and I knew that when we parted
I knew just what I was gonna do.
Chorus
Instrumental/Solo (over chorus)*
Bridge
Well I got my nerve up, I beat a path to her momma's
Slingin' gravel in my Chevy Malibu.
When I pulled up to the driveway, the next thing that I knew
->( )*
There was a string of soup cans tied to Walter's B...M...W!
Chorus
Slow and fade over intro
