She Couldn't Change Me
MONTGOMERY GENTRY

This is a correction of my former submission.  (The format was scattered
because I used the tab key)    Also note that you can drop this into the key
of "E" without any problem, here is the transposition:
F=E  ;  Bb=A  ;  C=B  ;  Dm=C#m
NOTE:  The reason it is originally done in "F" is to get a swooping
hammer-on effect* primarily going into the chorus.  Also, I used (C) and
(rif) in the chorus to annotate a predominate Bass part.




Intro:  F (133211@1) Bb (x1333x@1) F (133211@1) Bb...
F (133211@1)                                  Bb (x1333x@1)                      FBb
Sometimes I think what turned her on was my old worn out boots;
F (133211@1)                        Bb (x1333x@1)                             FBb
She wanted her a real cowboy, it was a phase she was goin' through.
F (133211@1)                           Bb (x1333x@1)                                   FBb
Not one week after she moved in I caught her paintin' the bedroom blue;

F (133211@1)                                    Bb (x1333x@1)                            FBb
Brought home a bottle of Pink Chablis, poured out my best home brew.
               C (x32010@1)                                   DmBb (xx0231@1)*
     I was sittin' on the porch in my overhauls as she packed her things to
leave;
                                CF...............Bb... (x32010@1)     She changed her mind when she couldn't change me!
                                    F (133211@1)                         Bb (x1333x@1)         She changed direction, headed out west;
                                     F (133211@1)                              Bb (x1333x@1)         She changed her tune to some hip-hop mess;
                                     F (133211@1)               (C)
Dm (xx0231@1)                               Bb*(rif)
          Her dark brown hair went to blonde and her pretty blue eyes went
to green:
                                        CF
          She changed everything when she couldn't change me.

Repeat Intro:  F (133211@1) Bb (x1333x@1) F (133211@1)  BbF                                       F (133211@1)          BbBb
She was sittin' beside the ocean,... lookin' out at the waves;
F (133211@1)                                       Bb (x1333x@1)        FBb
Watchin' how they keep on rollin',... but always seem the same.
F (133211@1)                                             BbF                   BbShe (x1333x@1)called and said she'd been thinkin' about all those quiet country
nights;
                 F (133211@1)                                  BbF                             BbAnd (x1333x@1)what-ever she thought was so wrong with me,... suddenly seemed alright.
               C (x32010@1)                                   DmBb* (xx0231@1)     I was sittin' on the porch in my overhauls when her truck pulled into
view;
                                            CF
     She said, "I changed my mind when I couldn't change you" .
                                     F (133211@1)                            Bb (x1333x@1)         She changed dirrection, headed back home;
                                     FBb
          She changed her tune, it's all Haggard and Jones;
                                           F (133211@1)              (C)
Bb (x1333x@1)                           F (133211@1)         Had her dark brown hair pulled back and the bluest eyes you ever
seen:
                                     C (x32010@1)                                 F (133211@1)         She changed her mind when she couldn't me!

Solo:  (first four-line verse resolving into) Bb...
                                    F (133211@1)                                   Bb (x1333x@1)         She changed dirrection, she's back in my arms;
                                 FBb
          She thought it through, but had a change of heart;
                                                       F (133211@1)            (C)
Dm (xx0231@1)                Bb*(rif)
          She said, "I guess when you love someone, you just gotta' let it
be" :
                                     CF..............Bb (x32010@1)          She changed her mind when she couldn't change me...yeah-yeah:
