Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
 G+G             D MajorD
It was the first time ever he saw her
D MajorD           C majorC     D MajorD   G+G
He saw his future in a long white cotton gown
G+G                          D MajorD
Sittin' there at the church house, she was gonna get baptized
D MajorD                 G+G
They was gonna have dinner on the grounds


Verse 2:
G+G             D MajorD
So the very next Friday, he got off at the sawmill
D MajorD                 C majorC   D MajorD   G+G
He slicked his hair back, he had a pocket full of pay
G+G                             D MajorD
When she opened up the front door, he was grinnin' like a possum
D MajorD                   G+G
As he handed her a daisy, she heard him say

Chorus:
G+G                   C majorC
Hey, let's go dancin' to the tune of a twenty dollar bill
C majorC                   G+G
They've got a fine fiddle band at the barn up on the hill
G+G                   C majorC
And by midnight we just might wind up dancin' standin' still
C majorC           D MajorD           G+G
By my daddy's lantern light, let me walk you home


Verse 3:
G+G                       D MajorD
After they got married, it didn't seem like no time
D MajorD                    C majorC      D MajorD  G+G
They just sayin' their goodbye's, he's a goin' to the big world war
G+G                       D MajorD
'Bout a lifetime later, she's a waitin' at the depot
D MajorD                       G+G
He said I ain't a gonna leave you, no, never no more


Chorus:
G+G                   C majorC
Said let's go dancin' to the tune of a twenty dollar bill
C majorC                   G+G
They've got a fine fiddle band at the barn up on the hill
G+G                   C majorC
And by midnight we just might wind up dancin' standin' still
C majorC           D MajorD           G+G
By my daddy's lantern light, let me walk you home


Verse 4:
G+G                       D MajorD
In front of friends and kinfolk and all of us grandkids
D MajorD                   C majorC     D MajorD   G+G
In the same little church house, in a long white cotton gown
G+G                               D MajorD
He bent down and he kissed her, he said, I'm right behind you, honey
D MajorD                   G+G
It wasn't long 'til we laid him in the ground


Chorus:
G+G                    C majorC
And now they're dancin' to the tune of a twenty dollar bill
C majorC                   G+G
They've got a fine fiddle band at the barn up on the hill
G+G                    C majorC
And by midnight they just might wind up dancin' standin' still
C majorC            D MajorD           G+G
