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

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

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

Solo:  (first four-line verse resolving into) Bb...
                                    F                                     Bb
          She changed dirrection, she's back in my arms;
                                 F
Bb
          She thought it through, but had a change of heart;
                                                       F              (C)
Dm                  Bb*(rif)
          She said, "I guess when you love someone, you just gotta' let it
be" :
                                     C
