She Did

	  		

G  
G       D    Am   C 
G       D    Am   D    Am 

                C 
Oh she’d drag me out with spurs  
       C 
Into the candlelight  
      G 
She did.  

                C         
And she rode me like the bull  
               C 
In some honky-tonk  
        G                    D 
She did, oh yes she did  

               Am                
But she’d never had to worry  
               C 
About the dwindling of dollars  
            G 
Or how life could strike out iron spite  
        D 
And crush you without warning  
       Am    C                    G       D 
But I did, Lo-Lord I surely did.  


              Am 
And I was bold when I first met her  
      C                                       G      
Enamored with all the things that she did  
                    Am 
Oh but then something crept into me  
            C                                G            D         
It was a blackness I hated and I so deeply hid  
               Am 
But I was jealous and concerned  
                          C 
Like some damn beast and she was beauty  
                         G            
Thought some dashing man would sweep her up  
         D 
And bury me in torment  
Am            C                                       G      D 
Yes, I did, though I ain’t too proud of it  


              C 
Oh was I speaking holy tongues?  
             D 
Or withdrawing from you?  
         Em                          G                                                  D 
Did a plague of sinking feelings leave me speaking in half-truths?  
          C                                       G 
Oh I do not have the stomach to repair these gaping wounds  
           Am                      C                                     G 
I’ll take my share of the blame for all the things I did.  

G       D    Am   C 
G       D    Am   D    Am 

                    C 
So now our castle gates are broken  
          C                                               G 
The wreckage is the price for what we did  
                    C   
Oh yeah that girl she was my lover  
     C                                       G                  D 
Now she is a stranger in the land in which I live  
                    Am                                           C 
Oh ain’t it funny how far we travel in the company of friends  
              G                                                       D 
Yet somehow the times we share but fill our faces with regret?  
    Am       C                                    G        D 
Oh, I hate it, though I feel it must be said. 

              C 
Oh was I speaking holy tongues?  
             D 
Or withdrawing from you?  
         Em                          G                                                  D 
Did a plague of sinking feelings leave me speaking in half-truths?  
          C                                       G 
Oh I do not have the stomach to repair these gaping wounds  
           Am                      C                                     G 
I’ll take my share of the blame for all the things I did.  

G       D    Am   C 
G       D    Am   D    Am
