Standard (EADGBE)
She was a poor girl on the wrong side of the river
Where she played every day and dreamed of better
He was a farm boy who worked hard every day
Like a prince in shining armor he came and took her away
And she never worked a day in her life
Every thing she needed he provides
(Now on the 1st and 3rd lines you double the amound of strums and kinda pound them out)
She was only 16 and he was 22
She'd never had a lover and he had had a few
He had his heart broken by a girl he called his wife
But in her he found a new hope, a chance at a better life
And never did they're love ever fade
And never did they're hearts every stray
But today they sit in different rooms
In the same house
Watching different T.V.s
They barely even speak
They get together to sleep and eat
And I wonder do they remember me
I wonder do they remember me
(Really quick strumming just the one chord, I have difficulty holding a set strum
and singing such a long line *shrugs*)
Or am I just one of those dreams that didn't work out
I bet they've given up on me by now
(Pound out the next chords and accuentuate the fact that the just switch back and forth)
All they ever wanted out of life was a house and a car and money and a baby
And they worked hard for such a long long time and at last they got all
those things *hold it out*
So what (so what) Do you do (do you do) When all of your dreams come true
(Just play the highest few strings of the G chord at the end of each line, its meant to
the C chords at the start and end of each line.)
So what (so what) Do you do-oo-ooo-oo When all of your dreams come true
(I usualy repeat the last lines a couple times in lue of the harmonica solo or just the
chord progression at the end)
