Jimmy Rankin - Followed Her Around

Tab By: axehappy (axehappy@countrytabs.com)

INTRO: [F]  [Am]  [G]  (x2)

I followed her [F]around, I was quite na[C]ive
Holes in my [F]soul, I wore my heart upon my [C]sleeve
Down that winding country [F]road, Despite the stories I'd been [Am]told
Now I don't go into [F]town, Since I followed her a[C]round

I stood and watched in disbe[F]lief, from the shadows of my [C]grief
She wore lipstick black as [F]coal, and her boots up to her [C]knees
How could I even speak my [F]mind, all the boys were making [Am]time
I bowed my head without a [F]sound, since I followed her a[C]round

CHORUS:
[G] Everybody's got a hunger
And a [F]seed they gotta [C]sow
I should have listened to my [G]mother
When she cried "[F]no, [Am]child [D]no
Son get your feet back on the [F]ground
Don't go follow her a[C]round"

I watched her from a[F]far, that pretty flower in mid [C]bloom
Oh how that girl could work a [F]bar, as she waltzed around the [C]room
I couldn't take it any[F]more, tried to get her out the [Am]door
One more time she shot me [F]down, since I followed her a[C]round

CHORUS

INTRO

Now I'm old and [F]wise, still got that sparkle in my [C]eyes
All my kids have come and [F]gone, all except my youngest [C]son
It was just the other [F]day, I swore I heard him [Am]say:
Dad I'm heading in to [F]town, I think he follows her a[C]round

Dad I'm heading in to [F]town, I think he follows her a[C]round
Dad I'm rolling in to [F]town, [G] I think he follows her a[Bb]round [C]  [F]
