(Capo 1)
Intro: G D Em7
(G) You were wearing that black dress,
(Cadd9) Coat and cowboy boots
(G)He was there but I didn’t care
(Cadd9) I’s too busy staring at you
(D) In the pouring rain
With the blue lights flashing
(Cadd9) In the hills of Appalachia
(D) Close to tears, with your make up smeared
(Cadd9) I asked you what had happened
(G) And I know that she ain’t ready
(D) She won’t be for a while.
(Em7) He broke her down and when I’m around
(Cadd9) I can see it in her smile.
(G)She’s fightin’, getting closer
(D) It’s just too plain to see
(Em7) And I know that she ain’t ready
(Cadd9) But that’s all right with me.
(G) You were wearing that red dress,
(Cadd9) Pearls, and those high heels.
(G) Like the way it made you look
(Cadd9) You loved the way it made you feel
(D)So I said to you, “I’d sure love to (Cadd9) do this again.”
(D) And you said, “Me too, but I’m just (Cadd9) not over him.”
(G) And I know that she ain’t ready
(D) She won’t be for a while.
(Em7) He broke her down and when I’m around
(Cadd9) I can see it in her smile.
(G) She’s fightin’, getting closer
(D) It’s just too plain to see
(Em7) And I know that she ain’t ready
(Cadd9) But that’s all right with me.
G D Em7 Cadd9
She started (D) calling me baby,
And two years later I was (Cadd9)down on one knee
And with a (D) ring in hand, said, “I’m your man,”
And “Girl (Cadd9) will you marry me?”
She said, (G) “You know that I’m ready,
(D) And I have been for a while.
(Em7) When the bells sound, and you turn around
(Cadd9) I’ll be walking down the isle.
(G) This will only bring us closer
(D) It’s just too plain to see
(Em7) And I know that we’re ready,
(Cadd9) So that’s alright with me.
G D
Yeah, (G) that’s alright with (D) me.
