She Loved Me

• D

Capo 2nd Fret 
 
Intro: (D) (Bm) (G) (G) (D) 
 
(D) Met her down in Tampa Bay 
(Bm) Spring Break - '88 
(G) She came to hear my band play 
And man, we were on that (D) night 
Twin guitars and 20 minute jams 
(Bm) Tush, Cocaine, Sweet Home Alabam' 
(G) I knew I had her in the palm of my hand 
When I stepped in the spot(D)light 
(Bm) Hot and heavy in that (A) little alley 
On a (G) 15 minute break 
(Bm) We shared a cigar(A)ette 
A long kiss 
(G) And she stood there by the stage 
All night by the stage 
(N.C.) Man, what can I say? 
She (D) loved me 
 
(D) After five long years of tryin' to be a star 
(Bm) I sold my axe and I quit them bars 
(G) Got a real job, fixin' trucks and cars 
Had a couple new mouths to (D) feed 
Eventually that monthly wage 
(Bm) And the finer points of the suburban age 
(G) All became bars on a cage 
Man, it was killin' (D) me 
(Bm) I started cussin' - (A) gettin' mad at nothin' 
And (G) blamin' her for ruinin' my life 
(Bm) I started sinkin' 
(A) Cheatin' and a drinkin' 
But she (G) stood there, by my side 
Right there by my side 
(N.C.) With tears in her eyes 
And she (D) loved me 
She (E7) loved me 
Heaven (G) knows the reasons why 
I'll never know the reasons why 
She (D) loved me 
 
(D) She finally left, three years ago 
(Bm) Married a man out in New Mexico 
(G) Calls to say the boys are really growin' 
God, I miss them (D) kids 
As for me, I'm twelve steps down the line 
(Bm) I found a church, that I like just fine 
(G) Even got a gig playing these songs of mine 
Oh, how I remini(D)ce 
(Bm) Hot and heavy in that (A) little alley 
On a (G) 15 minute break 
(Bm) We shared a cigar(A)ette 
A long kiss 
(G) And she stood there by the stage 
All night by the stage 
(N.C.) Man, those were the days 
She (D) loved me 
She (E7) loved me 
Heaven (G) knows the reasons why 
I'll never know the reasons why 
She (D) loved me 
She (E7) loved me 
Heaven (G) knows the reasons why 
I'll never know the reasons why 
She (N.C.) loved me 
 
(D) (Bm) (G) (G) (D)
