Greener Than The Grass We Laid On chords by Tanya Tucker

Chords with lyrics

G+G         D7D7       C majorC        G+G
He painted quite a picture for the girls in my home town

  C majorC    G+G        D7D7
And I was no exception to the rule

G+G        D7D7       C majorC        G+G
Singing all them songs about the places that he?d been

C majorC              D7D7
Made a body feel just like a fool


G+G          D7D7       C majorC         G+G
My pride was like a paper bag that once had held the wine

C majorC       G+G       D7D7
Thrown with no caution to the wind

G+G          D7D7      C majorC      G+G
He left me like the empty bottle lying on the ground

C majorC              D7D7
Swearing he would pick me up again

  FF       G+G         C majorC
And I was greener than the grass we laid on

D7D7           G+G
Underneath that Alabama sun

 FF          G+G
I guess I should have known

     C majorC        FF
That old highway was his home

   D7D7    G+G    C majorC
Do-do-do-do-do-do do-do-do


G+G         D7D7      C majorC      G+G
He said that I was prettier than Paris in the rain

C majorC         G+G       D7D7
Lord he filled me full of gypsy lies

G+G         D7D7      C majorC        G+G
Swearing that he'd come back to fetch me in the spring

C majorC               D7D7
Too ashamed to look me in the eye

   G+G        D7D7      C majorC        G+G
Well I felt about as simple as the cotton dress I'd torn

C majorC        G+G      D7D7
Sneaking in the house at 3 a.m.

G+G       D7D7       C majorC        G+G
Momma liked to question me to death and I was sure

C majorC                D7D7
Her intuition told her where I'd been


  FF       G+G         C majorC
And I was greener than the grass we laid on

D7D7           G+G
Underneath that Alabama sun

 FF          G+G
I guess I should have known

     C majorC        FF
That old highway was his home

   D7D7    G+G    C majorC
