Conway Twitty – She Only Meant To Use Him (Guitar)

        Ab
She was young and she was pretty

        Db             Ab
And she met him in the city

        Fm         Eb             Ab
And somehow he fit right into her plan

    Ab
She knew she hit it lucky

   Db               Ab                Fm
He owned half of Kentucky and best of all,

         Eb             Ab
He was a sixty year old man.

    Ab
She let him think he'd caught her

    Db             Ab
She led him to the alter

Fm           Eb            Ab
Totin' seven carats on her hand

Ab
All dressed up in satin

        Db               Ab
Aw' the good Lord wasted that one

        Fm                Eb            Ab
But she knew she'd be the winner in the end.

           Db
'Cause she only meant to use him

    Ab
She only meant to use him

        Ab                              Eb
And she didn't care if what she did was wrong

    Db
She only meant to use him

        Ab                Fm
And she knew what she was doing

     Ab                 Eb               Ab    Bb
In a few years she'd be rich and he'd be gone.

         Bb
In their million dollar palace

    Eb               Bb
The man grew old and jealous

       Gm            F                Bb
And he never let her leave the house alone

        Bb
She was in her prime and holding

        Eb               Bb
But she knew that he was old

            Gm               F              Bb
And chances were he wouldn't be around that long.

       Bb
As the days and nights grew longer

    Eb                Bb
The greed in her grew stronger

       Gm               F                Bb
And it even crossed her mind to take his life

       Bb
But he found out he'd been taken

        Eb              Bb
And his pride was badly shaken

       Gm             F             Bb
And he knew she never meant to be a wife.

           Eb
'Cause she only meant to use him

    Bb
She only meant to use him

        Bb                               F
But she knew just what she wanted in the end

    Eb
She only meant to use him

       Bb                Gm
And he knew what she was doing

       Bb                F              Bb    C
And he swore she'd never have a dime to spend.

   C
Tormented by frustration

    F                  C
She watched her beauty wasting

       Am                  G        C
As the lines upon her face began to show

    C
She turned to heavy drinkin'

           F               C
'Cause her ship was slowly sinking

        Am             G             C
And the bottle was the only place to go.

    C
Now 20 odd years later

    F                C
The headlines in the paper

          Am               G        C
Said they laid her soul to rest at 53

              C
And when they wheeled him to her coffin

   F                C
He took her diamond off

            Am                 G        C
And he just smiled and finally died at 93.

         F
Yes, she only meant to use him

     C
Lord knows she meant to use him

        C                             G
But she died with seven carats on her hand

F
All dressed in satin

        C                F
Aw' the good Lord wasted that one

        C              G             F    C
But her husband died a satisfied old man.

            C
Yes she was young and she was pretty

        F              C
And she met him in the city

        Am         G              C
And somehow he fit right into her plan

    C
She knew she hit it lucky

   F                C                 Am
He owned half of Kentucky and best of all,

         G              C
He was a sixty year old man...
