Chords

Notes: He finger-picks each chord up the string with some fill on the tail end. Keep it simple and it plays right. [Verse 1]
           Bb
When I met Bonnie

               Eb
She had a good life

          F
She had a good man

              Bb
He had a good tan

                Bb
We danced all evening

              Eb
she would not leave me

             F
She makes it perfect

              Bb
Which made me crazy
[Chorus]
                    Eb
wish you would have told me

                  Bb
Before our eyes locked

           F
Before I twirled you

            Bb
Around the floor

            Eb
Before we drank from

                  Bb
The same whiskey bottle

          F
Before I asked you

         Bb
To be my only
[Verse 2]
          Bb
She is a gypsy queen

             Eb
She runs on kerosene

                   F
But she don't say what she means

      Bb
Like I do

                 Bb
Cause I’m just a hill billy

                Eb
Little too old fashion

            F
Little too romantic

                  Bb
Singing 'worn out shoes' (another of Joe's songs)
[Chorus]
                    Eb
wish you would have told me

                  Bb
Before our eyes locked

          F
Before I twirled you

            Bb
Around the floor

            Eb
Before we drank from

                  Bb
The same whiskey bottle

          F
Before I asked you

         Bb
To be my only
[Instrumental] Bb Eb F Bb Bb Eb F Bb [Outro]
          Bb
The boat was rocking still

             Eb
And we was a talking still

                F
She walked on down the hill

           Bb
To where I stayed

                  Bb
She said we could just be friends

         Eb
And then away she went

            F
I ain't see her again

         Bb
To this day
