Mark Chesnutt - She Was

From "Mark Chesnutt" (2001)
(Neal Coty, James Melton)

[A]  She [G]started her new life ten [A]dollars in debt
That's [D]all it took to get [G]started back [A]then
A [G]trip to the court house a[D]cross the state line
[A]No one could stop her she'd made up her mind

He was eigh[G]teen and she [A]wasn't  But she said  
She [D]Was  Never thought twice Came back [G]home as my daddy's [A]wife
She just shook her [D]head  When her momma [Bm]said
Are you sure he's the [G]one    [A] and she was     [G]

[A]  He took a [G]job and [A]farmed on the side
He [D]made the ends meet But she [G]kept them [A]tied
[G]Changes were coming to [D]their little world
She said [A]what would you like a boy or a girl

He said [G]are you?  [A]  And she said She [D]was Never thought twice
'bout the [G]next step and building their [A]lives
Soon there were [D]three and she tried to [Bm]be
Everything to [G]us  [A]    and she [D]was

[G]Those precious moments [A]turned into years
And in what [D]seemed like a blink of an [G]eye
[G]I held her hand as I [D]leaned down to ask her
[G]Momma are you ready to say good[A]bye She said 
She [D]was But she thought twice
Holding my [G]hand as she let go of [A]life
Daddy always [D]said a women like [Bm]her would be hard to give [G]up
And she [Bm]was (she was)  If there [G]ever was a [D]picture of [A]love
She [D]Was
