Patty Loveless – Big Chance (Guitar)

                         C
Well, there's a boy down Shelby Gap

    G                     C
And I like sitting on his lap

G               C
I'm his gal and he's my man

G              D       G
We been making wedding plans

                    C
Brought him home to meet my ma

G                               C
She raised Cain and dropped her jaw

 G                  C
"Girl, you're crazy as a bat

G               D     G
You ain't gonna marry that"

           D                          G
This is my true love, we're gonna get married

           D                         G
This is my big chance, I'm gonna get married

                   C
Oh, mom and daddy, can't you see

G                C
Holler's closing in on me

G               C
Cousins pouring down like rain

        G              D     G
They're running out of given names

                C
It's so crowded I can't breath

G                 C
You need one less mouth to feed

G                   C
Forty dozen here at home

G                 D        G
You won't miss me when I'm gone

           D                          G
This is my true love, we're gonna get married

           D                         G
This is my big chance, I'm gonna get married

                       C
Oh, he's the prettiest in these hills

G                  C
I don't hitch him, some gal will

G                  C
You just messed up my big chance

    G                 D      G
For married bliss and true romance

                       C
Two things y'all don't realize

G              C
Shelby boys is mighty shy

    G                C
And courting life is extra hard

   G                D      G
If I can't keep 'em in the yard
