#Most of the song is done using the bass strings and muted, except
#where the Bm to A at the end of a measure is (listen to the song to
#see what I mean). The two string riff before and during the first part
#of the chorus will be denoted by two string chords. They will be
#marked with a *. Feel free to correct as need - especially the
#bridge.

VERSE 2
She

ran away from home
A
in her mother's best

coat
D/C#
She was

married before she was

even entitled to

And her

husband was one of those

The

sort that a war takes
D
away
And when there
A
wasn't a war he left her anyway

And though they
