Chords

As recorded by Corb Lund (From the 2024 Album EL VIEJO) [Verse 1]
    D
Her daddy played lead, he's an old weekender

D7                                      G     D
Workin' that small-town sunburst Fender scene

     Em
They say one day she up and left the farm

          A                                            D
With that Strat and her hat and her worn-out Carhartts on

     Em                   G                   D
With one last look at the barrel horse in the barn
[Chorus]
      G                        Cadd9 G
Well, who's that girl with the Stratocaster

                 Cadd9      G       D
Has anybody ever thought to ask her name

      G                       Cadd9     G
She's playin’ with some boys across the border

                           Cadd9    G        A
With a western heart and a lonesome northern twang
[Verse 2]
  D
I seen her one time in Oklahoma

D7                                                 G   D
Looking all alone, 'bout as far from home as could be

  Em
I thought for a second 'bout tryin’ to approach her

          A                                            D
But she's looking for the one that'll help to rope her dreams

       Em                  G               D
And it turns out that it's tougher than it seems
[Chorus]
      G                        Cadd9 G
Well, who's that girl with the Stratocaster

                 Cadd9      G       D
Has anybody ever thought to ask her name

      G                       Cadd9     G
She's playin’ with some boys across the border

                           Cadd9    G        A
With a western heart and a lonesome northern twang
[Mandolin Solo] G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G D G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G A [Verse 3]
    D
She stands at the back and she keeps on strummin’

                                                   G
Believes in the rhythm and a better day comin’ soon

    Em
She ain’t been home in a dozen seasons

      A                                       D
She's runnin’ out of time for findin’ reasons to

          Em                       G             D N.C.
And she's runnin’ out of rhymes to put the music to
[Outro] G Cadd9 G Cadd9 G D G Cadd9
