[Verse 1]
She [G]was tan,

She graduated Vandy
Old [Bm]money and a hand-me-down
Country Country [C]Country
club sor[D]ority [G]flair
[Em]Woulda been a good wife
[D]Woulda been a good life
Couple [C]kids in some khaki [G]shorts
She started [Em]talking 'bout marriage
And I [D]knew three carats
Wouldn't [C]shine in my
[D]rusty old [G]Ford

Here's to [G]all my near Mrs.
Give them [Bm]all my best wishes
[C]And close call kisses that never
came through
[D]Thank God I didn't ever say I do
Here's to [G]all the lost chances

'Cause [C]if those near Mrs. had

[C]I would've missed [D]out [G]on you
[Bm]

[Verse 3]
[C][G]
She was sweet, she was mean
[Bm]From New Orleans,
she tried to [C]put me in her voodoo [G]spell
A wildfire raging
A French [Bm]Quarter cajun
And her [C]brother did some [D]time [G]in jail
[D]Now[Em] LA was pretty and New
[D]York was witty
[C]And Chicago got too cold for [G]me
[C]I went a[Em]ll around the world
For a [D]marrying girl
All the while [C]she was in [D]Tennessee
[G]Here's to
