Intro:  Dsus4    D    D    Dsus4  x4



Verse 1:
Dsus4     D                  Dsus4 D
Well the first time, that I ever saw her
Dsus4         A               
I picked her up, in my Chevy Malibu.
Dsus4         D        Dsus4    D
Goin' to the grocery, for her mother
Dsus4          A                       D       D-Dsus4-D
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:
D          G                        D
But then I saw her, standing at the alter
    A                   D
mmm hmm, Of everlasting life.
D        G                       D
Standin' there, with a boy named Walter
       A                       A
He was expecting her to be his wife.
           G                 D
Little did I, know my heart was breakin'
      A                D
And I could not, say a thing.
         G                         D
Then the preacher, posed the final question
       A    N/C                         Dsus4->(D    G    D    A    D)* 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:
Am     Bbm    Bm          Bbm                Am         G
Well I got my nerve up, I beat a path to her momma's
G                           A
Slingin' gravel in my Chevy Malibu.
Bm                             Bbm         Am              G        G
When I pulled up to the driveway, the next thing that I knew
G                     G                          A            Dsus4->(D    G    D    A    D)*
There was a string of soup cans tied to Walter's B...M...W!



Chorus
Slow and fade over intro
