Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][D][C][Am][C][D][C]

[Verse 1]
She was something very [D]spe
cial to me
The kind [Am]of girl you'd like to s[C]ee
[D]In a mov[C]ie or [D]a rosary[C][D]
She could be straight- laced [Am]or homespun
Or [D]free and easy on the [Am]run
She could be meek and [D]mild
or full of fun
[C][Am][C][D]

[Verse 2]
[C]She liked cou[Am]ntry lanes and aer[D]oplanes
And [Am]cigarettes would make her [C]strange
[D]And when she wanted you
[C]she made it plain
[D]

[Verse 3]
[C]
[Am]She would [C]never say where [D]she came from
It didn't [Am]seem that she
had [D]anyone
To answer to or dwell [C]upon
[D]

[Verse 4]
[C]
[Am]She liked [C]candlelight and [D]good wine
And [Am]I would call her any tim[D]e
Of day or night she did[C]n't [Am]mind[C]
[D]

[Verse 5]
[Am]The was noth[C]ing that I wou[D]ldn't do
To prove [Am]to her my love was tr[D]ue
And she gave to [C]me a dream
or two
[D][C][D]

[Verse 6]
[C]
[Am]There were times when she
would [D]never appear
For [Am]days and then she'd
[D]disappear
But now the days have turned [C]to years
[D]

[Verse 7]
[Am]
I was something she could [D]use
[Am]Like a good [C]friend or a pair of [D]shoes
Or any kind of good [C]news
[D][C][Am][C][D]

[Verse 8]
[Am]
Now the eastern sky is [D]crimson and red
As [Am]I lie here in my lonely [D]bed
And think about [Am]the things
she [C]said
[D]

[Verse 9]
[Am]
She said darling [C]there will [D]come a day
[Am]When I must run far [D]away
I will go my love and you [C]must
stay
[D][Am][C][D]

[Verse 10]
[Am]
She departed in the [D]early spring
She [Am]didn't leave me [D]anything
To follow or to [C]find her
[D]

[Verse 11]
[Am]
She was something [C]very
spe[D]cial to me
[Am]The kind of girl you'd like [D]to see
In a movie or a ros[C]ary

[Outro 1]
[D]
[Am][C][D][Am][D][Am][D][Am]
