Song - Followed Her Around
Intro:
[F] [Am] [G] [F] [Am] [G]
I followed her a[F(add9)]round,
I was quite na[C]ive.
Holes in my [F(add9)]soul,
I wore my heart upon my [C]sleeve.
Down that winding country [F]road,
Despite the stories I'd been [Am]told.
Now I don't go into [F]town,
Since I followed her a[C]round.
I stood and watched in disbe[F(add9)]lief,
From the shadows of my[C] grief.
She wore lipstick black as [F(add9)]coal,
And her boots up to her [C]knees.
How could I even speak my [F]mind,
All the boys were making [Am]time.
I bowed my head without a [F]sound,
Since I followed her a[C]round.
[G] Everybody's got a hunger,
And a [F]seed they gotta [C]sow.
I should have listened to my [G]mother,
When she cried '[F]no, [Am]child [D]no.
Son get your feet back on the [F]ground,
Don't go follow her a[C]round'.
I watched her from a[F(add9)]far,
That pretty flower in mid[C] bloom.
Oh how that girl could work a [F(add9)]bar,
As she waltzed around the [C]room.
I couldn't take it any[F]more,
Tried to get her out the [Am]door.
One more time she shot me [F]down,
Since I followed her a[C]round.
[G] Everybody's got a hunger,
And a [F]seed they gotta [C]sow.
I should have listened to my [G]mother,
When she cried '[F]no, [Am]child [D]no.
Son get your feet back on the [F]ground,
Don't go follow her a[C]round'.
[F] [Am] [G] [F] [Am] [G]
Now I'm old and [F(add9)]wise,
Still got that sparkle in my [C]eyes.
All my kids have come and [F(add9)]gone,
All except my youngest [C]son.
It was just the other [F]day,
I swore I heard him [Am]say:
Dad I'm heading in to [F]town...
I think he follows her a[C]round.
Dad I'm heading in to [F]town...
I think he follows her a[C]round.
Dad I'm rolling in to [F]town...
[G] I think he follows her a[Bb]round.[C]
