Tim McGraw – Red Ragtop (Ukulele)

G
I was twenty and she was eighteen 

C                                              G                    C
We were just about as wild as we were green in the ways of the world

          G
She'd pick me up in that red ragtop

          C
 we were free of the folks and hiding from the cops

         G                        Cadd9
on a summer night, runnin all the red lights 

         G
so we'd park way out in a clearing in a grove 

          C
and the night was as hot as a coal burnin stove 

          G
we were cookin with gas, 

        Cadd9
oh it had to last

                     C   G   Am
 in the back of that red rag top

          C        G     Am                                    
 she said please dont stop

          G
well the very first time her mother met me

    C                                         G          C
her green eyed girl had been a mother to be for two weeks 

         G
i was out of a job and she was in school

C
life was fast and the world was cruel 

        G
we were young and wild,

                  C
we decided not to have a child 

         G
so we did what we did and we tried to forget

      C                                                  G
and we swore up and down there would be no regrets in the morning light 

              Cadd9
but on the way home that night 

                    C   G    Am
on the back of that red rag top 

             C  G    Am         G                Cadd9
she said please dont stop loving me 

        C        G      Am        G
we took one more trip around the sun 

           C         G              Am
and it was all make believe in the end 

    C          G         Am G
no i cant say where she is today 

       Am             G        Am
i cant remember who i was back then 

             G
well you do what you do 

                                    C
and you pay for your sins and theres no such thing as what might have been 

           G
thats a waste of time, 

           C
drive you out of your mind 

         G                                                       C
i was stopped at a red light just yesterday beside a young girl in a cabriolet 

        G
and her eyes were green 

                Cadd9
and i was in an old scene 

                  C    G   Am
i was back in that red rag top 

       C    G   Am           G            Cadd9
