Guitar chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
F
There?s a girl who lives outside the town
                      C
In a house set in the sun
F
She's the one they have their eyes set on
C                         F
She's the girl from River Run

F
All the young men in their senior year
                    C
Can't imagine compromise
F
By the fall, they're walking down the aisle
C                      F
With this darling as a prize
Bb                   F
Every man from every neighbor town
  Bb                         F
Intends to make his feelings known
    F
But not a word from me was ever heard
 C                        F
About the girl from River Run

Many came to graduation day
                  C
She went off to LSU

Everybody stood and waved goodbye
    C                   F
But I had been accepted too

Bb                   F
Every man from every neighbor town
  Bb                         F
Intends to make his feelings known

But not a word from me was ever heard

About the girl from River Run

Teddy had a fine Mercedes-Benz

His dad, a man from New York State

Then, she set aside her youthful ways
                  D
Though she's only 21

At a lecture, I ran into her
D                           G
And we laughed and had some fun

   C                           G
We walked outside and meant to get some air
    C                          G
She said to me, "Where are you from?"
   G
"A country place you probably don't know of
  D                        G
A little town called River Run"

G
Then, a smile broke across her face
                               D
She missed the people from her home
G
Two years later, I was married to

That darling girl from River Run
