Kathy Mattea – She Came From Fort Worth (Guitar)

N.C.          G    D          Em         D        C          D
She came from Fort Worth, but Fort Worth couldn't hold her

N.C.            G  D   Em       D     C     D
Her dreams were bigger than the Texas sky

N.C.        G       D             G    D       Em
She's got a one-way ticket on the next bus for Boulder

D     C           D                G
And it won't take long to say goodbye

N.C.    C            D    C               G ~
She was working at a diner just a week ago

       Em       D       C  G                     D 
When a man from Colorado smiled and said, "Hello"

       Em                    D               C    D      G
And he turned her head with stories about a cabin in the trees

~          Em                    C             G                      D
Where the wind can sing you love songs beneath snow-capped mountain peaks

N.C.      C                     D             C                G 
Now she's packed her faded blue jeans and her favourite cowboy boots

~        Em           C         G                  D
Left her apron at the diner for someone else to use

    Am                  D          C        D       G
One last look in the mirror at the girl she used to be

~        Em                  C           G                 D
Then the driver takes her ticket and she tries to fall asleep

N.C.          G    D          Em         D        C          D
She came from Fort Worth, but Fort Worth couldn't hold her

                G  D   Em       D     C     D
Her dreams were bigger than the Texas sky

N.C.        G       D             G    D       Em
She's got a one-way ticket on the next bus for Boulder

D     C           D                G
And it won't take long to say goodbye

N.C. C                  D            C                      G 
And  somewhere in the long dark night the snow began to fall

~       Em                C                        G                    D
Oh, the world outside was sparkling white when she heard the driver call

          Em          D           C      D         G
"Everyone off now for Boulder and have a real nice day"

~      Em                 C           G                   D
He was waiting on the platform and he raised his hand to wave 

N.C.    Em                   D      C        D      G
And she offered no resistance as he took her to his cabin

~        Em              D                 C                D         
And that diner in the distance seemed just like it never happened

              G    D          Em         D        C          D
She came from Fort Worth, but Fort Worth couldn't hold her

                G  D   Em       D     C     D
Her dreams were bigger than the Texas sky

N.C.        G       D             G    D       Em
She's got a one-way ticket on the next bus for Boulder

D     C           D                G  D  Em
And it won't take long to say goodbye

      D     G       D             G    D       Em
She's got a one-way ticket on the next bus for Boulder

D     C           D                G  D  Em
And it won't take long to say goodbye

 D G    D   G 
Bye-bye
