Intro: D / G / D / G /

D Dsus2 A G
Uncle Slim had let her know she couldn't ride that horse.
D Dsus2 G (G)
He was the one that was only meant for men.
Gm Em
She waited around till way after dark,
G D
Rode that horse with all her heart.
D A
And in the night how she rode.

Chorus:

G D F#m G
Somehow she always knew she had the strength inside.
Em D A (A)
And even if she fell, she'd survive.
G D
In spite of all the tears she may cry,
G D
This is how she has to live her life.
G A D (D)
As hard as it may be she has to find out for herself.

D Dsus2 A G
Mama and daddy told her from the start he was no good.
D Dsus2 G (G)
They'd seen how he treated the other girls.
Gm Em
She waited around till the sun went down,
G D
Slipped out the house not makin' a sound.
D A
And in the night oh how they drove.

** Repeat Chorus **

G F#m Bm G
It was fifteen years to the day he became a stranger in her eyes
Em D
In the coldest words of anger
G A
He said without me you won't survive.

D Dsus2 A G
There's a suitcase in the closet she had packed six months ago.
D Dsus2 G (G)
She don't leave a note that's not her style.
Gm Em
So she waited around till way after dark,
G D
Left that man who broke her heart.
D A
Now she's gone, oh she's gone.

** Repeat Chorus to end.
