Followed Her Around

(início)

Intro:
F  Am  G  F  Am  G
                F(add9)
I followed her around,
              C
I was quite naive.
            F(add9)
Holes in my soul,
                        C
I wore my heart upon my sleeve.
                          F
Down that winding country road,
                             Am
Despite the stories I'd been told.
                    F
Now I don't go into town,
                      C
Since I followed her around.
                            F(add9)
I stood and watched in disbelief,
                      C
From the shadows of my grief.
                           F(add9)
She wore lipstick black as coal,
                        C
And her boots up to her knees.
                          F
How could I even speak my mind,
                         Am
All the boys were making time.
                          F
I bowed my head without a sound,
                      C
Since I followed her around.
G
 Everybody's got a hunger,
      F               C
And a seed they gotta sow.
                             G
I should have listened to my mother,
                F   Am    D
When she cried 'no, child no.
                              F
Son get your feet back on the ground,
                     C
Don't go follow her around'.
                    F(add9)
I watched her from afar,
                         C
That pretty flower in mid bloom.
                              F(add9)
Oh how that girl could work a bar,
                          C
As she waltzed around the room.
                      F
I couldn't take it anymore,
                         Am
Tried to get her out the door.
                          F
One more time she shot me down,
                      C
Since I followed her around.

                F   Am    D

                              F
Son get your feet back on the ground,
                     C
Don't go follow her around'.

Now I'm old and wise,
                             C
Still got that sparkle in my eyes.
                          F(add9)
All my kids have come and gone,
                       C
All except my youngest son.
                      F
It was just the other day,
                    Am
I swore I heard him say:
                      F
Dad I'm heading in to town...
                        C
I think he follows her around.
                      F
Dad I'm heading in to town...
                        C
I think he follows her around.
                      F
Dad I'm rolling in to town...
G                        Bb    C
 I think he follows her around.
