She Was by Mark Chesnutt
She Was
**Capo 1**
[Intro]
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
[Chorus 1]
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...
[Chorus 2]
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
[Chorus 3]
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
