Introduction: D    D/F#    G    A    

          G                                                              A                            D  
She started her new life ten dollars in debt
G                                                                    A                              D  
That's all it took to get started back then
     G                                                              D/F#  
A trip to the courthouse across the state line
A  
No one could stop her she'd made up her mind
                  G                                         A  
He was eighteen and she wasn't
                                             D                                                      D/F#  
But she said she was and never thought twice
                          G                                              A  
Came back home as my daddy's wife
                                                  D  
She just shook her head
                                        Bm                                                                 G    D/F#Em  A  
When her momma said are you sure he's the one
                D    D/F#    G    A  
She was
G                                            A                                    D  
He took a job and farmed on the side
G                                                                 A                                    D  
He made the ends meet but she kept them tied
G                                                         D/F#  
Changes were coming to their little world
                          A  
She said what would you like a boy or a girl
                                  G                    A  
And he said are you...
                                             D                                                      D/F#  
And she said she was and never thought twice
                                                G                                                                      A  
About taking the next step and building their lives
                                             D  
Soon there were three
                                             Bm                                      G    D/F#Em  A  
And she tried to be everything to us
                     D  
And she was
G                                                         A  
Those precious moments turned into years
                     D                                 A/C#                    Bm7  
In what seemed like a blink of an eye
G                                                      D/F#  
I held her hand as I leaned down to ask her
Em                                                         A  
Momma are you ready to say goodbye
                                  D                                                 D/F#  
She said she was but she thought twice
                             G                                                      A  
Holding my hand as she let go of life
                                  D  
Daddy always said
                                  Bm                                                              G    D/F#Em  A  
A woman like her would be hard to give up
                        Bm7    G    D/F#  
And she was
                        Em                                                    A  
If there ever was a picture of love
             Bm7    G    A    D  
She was
