[Verse 1]
[D]She[G] walked along the
[D]roadside [G]ditch,
dressed in her [D]flannel gown.
The [G]morning [D]the [G]state tro[A]oper [D]came,
when [G]someone [D]called from
[G]town.[D][G][C][D][G]
They took her up to [D]Starkville [G]then,
and put her [A]in the [D]home.
Her [G]brother [D]said [G]she is [A]better off
[D]than whe[C]n she liv[D]ed alo[G]ne.
She came [A]into my [D]store [A]sometimes.
[D]We tal[Em]ked when thi[A]ngs got slo[D]w
If [G]people [C]can[G]'t bear [D]strangeness [Em]then
Well, [C]I don't w[D]ant to k[G]now
[C][G][D][Em][C][D][G]
Her parents left the [D]small
frame [G]house
They've both been [A]gone for [D]years
She mar[G]ried [D]once [G]a loc[A]al boy
[D]Who one[C] day dis[D]appeared
[G]She[C] ta[D]ugh[G]t some
school and [D]some say
[G]Well, they let her [A]go one [D]fall
She [G]missed [D]a w[G]eek and c[A]ouldn't tell
[D]She'd mis[C]sed a wee[D]k at all[G]
Some people [A]seem to [D]fit [A]right [D]in
And [Em]some [A]don't even [D]try
And [G]some don't even [D]look at you
[Em]As t[C]hey go m[D]arching by[G][C][G][D]
[G][A][D][G][D][G][A][D][C][D][G]
The house was soon [D]put up for sale
[G]Not sure who liv[A]es there now
[D]I ask[G]ed her[D] bro[G]ther wha[A]t they'd fou[D]nd,
the [C]day they [D]cleaned it [G]out[C][D][G]
He [D]laughed [G]and then he sai[D]d, not[G] much,
old newspapers [A]and paint
[D]Some boo[G]ks on [D]arc[G]haeolo[A]gy
[D]and [C]long -for[D]gotten [G]saints
They found some note[A]books
[D]in a box [Em]she'd filled up [A]every page
[D]With not[G]es about her nei[D]ghbor's liv[Em]es,
with [C]each [D]child's name and [G]age[C][D][G]
She walked along the [D]roadside [G]ditch,
dressed in her [A]flannel [D]gown.
The [G]morn[D]ing [G]the state [D]troop[C]er [B]came,
when [C]someone [D]called from [G]town.[C][D][G]
