Take Time To Know Her

	  		D         A    G          D 
I found a woman I felt I truly loved 
D             A   G               D 
She was everything I'd ever been dreaming of 
D                A                  G                  D 
But she was bad - I didn't know it   Her pretty smile never did show it 
D               A               G               D 
All I knew was what I could see   And I knew I wanted her for me

I took her home to Mama 
                             G     (G G G  A  Bb)   Bm 
Mama wanted to see my future bride 
                    G    A 
Oh she looked at us both  And then she called me to her side, she said "Son, 
D            A         G              D 
Take time to know her     It's not an overnight thing 
D             A        G               D 
Take time to know her     Please don't rush into this thing." 


D                      A     G                          D 
But I didn't listen to Mama     I went straight to the church 
D                                     A 
I just couldn't wait to have a little girl of mine 
G          D 
When I got home from work 
D                       A 
The preacher was there     So was my future bride 
G                               D 
He looked at us both and the he called me to his side, he said "Son, 
D            A         G              D 
take time to know her     It's not an overnight thing 
D             A        G               D 
Take time to know her     Please don't rush into this thing." 

(spoken): 
D                                        A 
Well it looked like everything was gonna turn out alright 
G                             D 
And then I came home a little early one night 
(sung): 
D                 A 
And there she was kissing on another man 
G                                   D 
Now I know what Mama meant when she took me by the hand and said "Son, 
D            A         G              D 
take time to know her     It's not an overnight thing 
D             A        G               D 
Take time to know her     Please don't rush into this thing." 

D            A                   G              D 
Take time to know her            It's not an overnight thing 
(take        time, take a little time son       ooohhh) 
D            A                   G              D 
Take time to know her     Please don't          rush into this thing." 
(take        time, take a little time son       ooohhh)
