George Jones – The Girl I Almost Knew (Guitar)

  G            E            A
A lonely misty tear escapes my eye

  C                  D               G
A tear that's been a prisoner way too long

    G                E         A7
The fool that made excuses for your lies

       C          D               G
Now confesses the love he's never known

           C
You're the girl

    D               G
Who almost gave her heart to me

           G
You're the girl

                  D                D7
Who almost made my dreams come true

   G          G7                C
Forever in my mind there'll be a memory

     G
Of a stranger

    D7           G
The girl I almost knew

     G            E                    A
Each day I told myself you'll change tomorrow

      C                D                    G
For a fool in love will hide what's right or wrong

  G               E                A
Behind my back you planted seeds of sorrow

         C             D              G
And they grew till the hurt became full-grown

           C
You're the girl

    D               G
Who almost gave her heart to me

           G
You're the girl

                  D                D7
Who almost made my dreams come true

   G          G7                C
Forever in my mind there'll be a memory

     G
Of a stranger

    D7           G
The girl I almost knew
