She    Gram Parsons  Capo 3 
G        Eb9   
she, she came from the land of the cotton 
Em		       C#m                  C 
land that was nearly forgotten by everyone 
G            Eb9 
and she, she worked and she slaved so hard 
Em			C#m                C 
a big old field was her back yard in the delta sun 
F     C                    G 
ooh, but she sure could sing 
F        C                 G    
ooh, she sure could sing 

G   Eb9 
he looked down and he took a little pity 
Em                                      C#m               C 
the whole town swore he decided he'd help her some 
  G       Eb9 
but he didn't mind if she wasn't very pretty 
Em                                                 C#m                    C 
for deep inside his heart he knew she was the only one 
F     C                    G 
ooh, but she sure could sing 
F        C                 G    
ooh, she sure could sing

G      Eb9 
they use to walk singing songs by the river 
Em                                        C#m                 C 
even when she knew for sure she had to go away 
G      Eb9 
and she never knew what her life had to give her 
Em                                   C#m                          C 
and never had to worry about it for one single day 
F     C                    G 
ooh, but she sure could sing 
F        C                 G    
ooh, she sure could sing
