Greener Than the Grass (We Laid On) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I painted quite a p[A]icture for
[G]the girls in her homet[D]own
[G]And she was[D] no exception to [A]the rule
[D]Singing all them son[A]gs about the[G] places
that I've [D]been[G]
Made a body [Em]feel just like [A]a fool
[D]She was like the pap[A]er bag
[G]that once had held the [D]wine
[G]Thrown without no cau[D]tion to the[A] wind
[D]I left her like the [A]empty bottle
[G]lyin' [D]on the ground
[G]Swearin' I'd pic[Em]k her up aga[A]in
[C]She was greener [D]than the grass we [G]laid
on [A]underneath that Alabama sun
[D]I gue[C]ss she should have kno[D]wn
that ol' [G]highway was my [C]home
[Am]To- do- do- to- do-
[D]do do- do- do

[Interlude 1]
[G][A]

[Verse 2]
[D]I said she was [A]prettier than
[G]Paris [D]in the rain[G]
Lord I filled [D]her full of gypsy [A]lies
[D]Swearin' I'd be [A]coming back
[G]to fetch her in [D]the spring
[G]Too ashamed to [Em]look her in the eye
[A]She[D] looked about as [A]simple as the
[G]cotton dress I've [D]torn
[G]Sneakin' in her [D]house at [A]3 a.m.
Her [D]mama liked to ques[A]tion me
the [G]day after and I [D]was sure
Her [G]intuition [Em]told her where [A]we'd been
[C]She was greener [D]than the grass we [G]laid
on [A]underneath that Alabama sun
[D]I gue[C]ss she should have kno[D]wn that ol'
[G]highway was my [C]home
She should have never listened to
my [Am]songs to my song[D]s
She should have never
listened to my [G]songs
