David Allan Coe – Greener Than The Grass We Laid On (Guitar)

          F       C               Bb                F
I painted quite a picture for the girls in her home town

Bb          F                   C
And she was no exception to the rule

F                C               Bb          F
Singing all them songs about the places I've been

Bb          G                C
Made a body fell just like a fool

F                C              Bb                F
She was like the paper bag that once had held the wine

Bb                F              C
Thrown without no caution to the wind

F                   C            Bb           F
I left her like the empty bottle lyin' on the ground

Bb           G           C
Swearin' I'd pick her up again

Eb              C                 Bb
She was Greener Than The Grass We Laid On

C                       F
Underneath that Alabama sun

  Eb                    C
I guess she should have known

     Bb                 Eb
That old highway was my home

               C        Bb  C
Do-do-do-do-do-do do-do-do

F              C             Bb           F
I said she was prettier than Paris in the rain

Bb                 F             C
Lord, I filled her full of gypsy lies

F               C              Bb               F
Swearin' I'd be coming back to fetch her in the Spring

Bb             G               C
Too ashamed to look her in the eye

F                   C             Bb                F
She looked about as simple as the cotton dress I've torn

Bb              F            C
Sneakin' in her house at 3 A.M.

    F              C               Bb                  F
Her Momma liked to question me the day after and I was sure

Bb            G                   C
Her intuition told her where we'd been

Eb              C                 Bb
She was Greener Than The Grass We Laid On

C                       F
Underneath that Alabama sun

  Eb                    C
I guess she should have known

     Bb                 Eb
That old highway was my home

                                     C            F
She should have never listened to my songs, to my songs

                                     Bb
She should have never listened to my songs
