Song - Followed Her Around
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.
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 Am G F Am G
F(add9)
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.
