Music & Lyrics Transcribed by: Ryan Eik

Capo 5 (chords relative to capo)

Verse 1:

Well the first time, that I ever saw her

I picked her up, in my Chevy Malibu.

Goin' to the grocery, for her mother

For a loaf of bread, and a Pepsi Cola too.

Verse 2:

Well she got in, and she rolled down the window

I said man turn it up! I love that country tune.

She was wearin' the finest, rabbit skin halter

I was overcome, by the smell of her perfume.

Chorus:

But then I saw her, standing at the alter

mmm hmm, Of everlasting life.

Standin' there, with a boy named Walter

He was expecting her to be his wife.

Little did I, know my heart was breakin'

And I could not, say a thing.

Then the preacher, posed the final question

A N/C Dsus4->(D G D A D)* x4

Then I heard, those church bells ring.

Instrumental/Solo (over chorus)*

Verse 3:

Well she was young, and so kind-hearted

That she wrecked my world, and she left me with the blues.

She called me sugar, and I knew that when we parted

I knew just what I was gonna do.

Chorus

Instrumental/Solo (over chorus)*

Bridge:

Well I got my nerve up, I beat a path to her momma's

Slingin' gravel in my Chevy Malibu.

When I pulled up to the driveway, the next thing that I knew

There was a string of soup cans tied to Walter's B...M...W!

Chorus

Slow and fade over intro
