Intro: Bm E G E 

Bm  
He watched her pack her bags 
E 
She would soon be on her way 
G                          E 
Following some rich kid to LA 

Bm 
Auburn hair was flowing 
E 
Right down past her knees 
G                               E           Bm 
He watched her turn her back on Tennessee 

          E   
Good as gold 
                         Bm 
That's how I'll remember you  
                         G           Bm 
With those eyes of delta blue 
          E        
Good for you 
                        Bm 
Turn your back on Tennessee 
                         G          Bm 
You knew what you got to do 
          E 
Heaven knows  
                          Bm 
If it's wrong or if it's right 
                           G        Bm 
She'll be leaving at first light 
        E 
Here I stay  
                  Bm 
If I wasn't so afraid 
                           G 
I would chase her down tonight 

Bm                  
She called him one night crying 
E 
From the room below (???) 
G                           E 
At some crowded party all alone 

Bm 
She said I'm the great pretender 
E 
Drifting through the days 
G                                 G             Bm 
Painting blank expressions on my face 
        E 
Good a gold 
                         Bm 
That's how I'll remember you 
                           G                    Bm 
With those eyes of delta blue 
          E 
Good for you  
                        Bm 
Turn your back on Tennessee 
                          G                     Bm 
You knew what you got to do 
         E 
Heaven knows  
                          Bm 
If it's wrong or if it's right  
                            G                   Bm 
She'll be leaving at first light 
         E 
Here I stay 
                 Bm

                         G                      Bm 
I would chase her down tonight 

Bm        G            D 
I wish I was the wild kind 
Bm           G            D 
Some kind of flaw in my design 
Bm            G               D         C     
Why can't I cross the county line 

Bm 
         E         
Good a gold 
                          Bm 
That's how I'll remember you 
                          G                    Bm 
With those eyes of delta blue 
          E 
Good for you

                          G                    Bm 
You knew what you got to do 
          E 
Heaven knows  
                            Bm 
If it's wrong or if it's right 
                            G                  Bm
