What Did I Promise Her Last Night chords by Mel Tillis

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)


Verse 1:
G
There she lies still sleepin' dreamin'
                          D
The whole world is in her hands

What she thought was love last night
                                        G
Was just the wine and the weakness in a man

Verse 2:
G
But now the passion's gone and all that's left
                                 C
Is cold hard facts and cold gray mornin' light
     D7
As I quietly close the door
                                     G
I wonder what did I promise her last night

Verse 3:
G
I guess I should have wakened her
                                   D
And told her that I must be movin' on

But I told myself the truth might hurt her worse
                          G
Than wakin' up to find me gone

Verse 4:
G
But my conscience knows the truth
                                        C
And it's so hard to convince myself I'm right
         D7
And as I slowly drive away I wonder
                            G
What did I promise her last night

Verse 5:
G
I guess by now she's wakin' up
                                      D
And packin' up her things and headin' home

With memories of a temporary love
                      G
She wishes never came along

Verse 6:
G
How many one-night stands must she go through
                             C
Before she finds a love that right
           D7
And as I'm drivin' down the road I wonder
                            G
What did I promise her last night
