[Verse 1]
Em          D              G  G6/D
She was her daddy's little darling
    C      G6/D G     C G6/D  G6/D  G  G F# Em
Her mama's only child

[Verse 2]
Em          D             G  G6/D
They didn't understand at all
         C       G6/D    G    C G6/D  G6/D  G  G F# Em
When she took to running wild

[Verse 3]
Em
She left town one day
    D              D7
And never said goodbye
    G                      G6/D
And left a hole in Daddy's lap
      C              C   Em
And a tear in Mama's eye
Em      G  F# Em  D
Where'd we go wrong?
    C         G    C G6/D  G6/D  G  G F# Em
And now she's gone

[Verse 4]
Em        D         G   G6/D
She met a boy up in Kentucky
C       G6/D    G    C G6/D  G6/D  G  G F# Em
Charlie was his name

[Verse 5]
Em           D              G  G6/D
Just when he thought he got lucky
    C         G6/D      G    C G6/D  G6/D  G  G F# Em
She stole his watch and chain

[Verse 6]
Em                 G6/D
She always kept on moving
        D            D
And she never wasted time
         G
And they said
                           C                    Em
She left quite a string of broken hearts behind
Em   G  F# D
Woke up alone
    C         G    C G6/D  G6/D  G  G F# Em
And now she's gone

[Verse 7]
Em    D           G
Me, I wasn't even trying
          C         G       C G6/D  G6/D  G  G F# Em
You could say I was content

[Verse 8]
Em       D                    G   G6/D
She went through my life like lightning
C    G6/D          G    C G6/D  G6/D  G  G F# Em
Blew out the other end

[Outro]
       G               G6/D
Well I still taste her kisses
          D
Smell her perfume in the wind
    G
And if I could
                      C
You know that I would do it all again
Em  G    F# Em  D
She done me wrong
    C         G     C  Bm  G6/D  G
And now she's gone
| Em     | D      | G G6/D | C    G |
