Intro:
G G G G

Verse 1:
     G
In a single-wide across the way
    C                         G
Not far through Mr. Gifford’s pines
      G                          C
Was a girl with hair like summer hay
        D                                   Am
And the mischief in her blue eyes seemed to shine
  D                              Am
I recall her mama loved her, and I wish I could forget
    D                                      Am
The way that trailer smelled of burned out cigarettes
       D                                 Am
Or her daddy and his temper, and how his spirit seemed to fade
                                   C
As time stripped every meager gift away

Chorus:
        D                              F    C
Saw you frownin’ from the pages of the hard times
                 G                               D      D
And it ain’t the first time, will it be the last time?

Verse 2:
     G
In a red brick house across the way
    C                         G
Not far through Mr. Gifford’s pines
G                          C
Born to a family sound and safe
        D                               Am
I never knew home could be anything but fine
  D                             Am
I never touched the darkness, I never went astray
      D                             Am
I was treasured every moment, every single day
D                                  Am
One is given wings and one is gets more than she can bear
                                          C
God in heaven, can you tell me how that’s fair?

Chorus:
        D                              F    C
Saw you frownin’ from the pages of the hard times
             G                               D      D
It ain’t the first time, will it be the last time?

Verse 3:
       G
We are strangers now, someone told me how
         C                            G
You’re a mother who’s fightin’ to say clean
        G                      C
And the winding road is now my home
   D                          Am
It drags on and changes never end
                                            C
Still I miss the days when you were just my friend

Chorus:
        D                              F    C
Saw you frownin’ from the pages of the hard times
             G                               D
It ain’t the first time, will it be the last time?

Outro:
        D                                    F    C
I wanna hear that you have finally found the good times
        G                   D
For the first time, for the last time
              Am         CG
Let it be the last time
