Giving Her Away

N.C. = No chord
* = Strum once
 
[Verse 1]
E*
 On any other weekend
Bsus4*                                    C#m*
 At least one of us would be pulled off a road
N.C.
Tackle box, cork dropped in a creek bend
A*
 Hand reelin' on a Zebco
E*
 But today, there's a line out the front door
Bsus4*                                    C#m*
 A bunch of folks that we know ain't ever seen
N.C.
A fresh shine on our Fords
A*                       C#m*
 And us not in a pair of jeans
 
[Pre-Chorus]
B*         A
Ooh, yeah, she's your little girl
    B    A*
And ooh, she's my whole world
 
[Chorus]
E                               B
 Only she coulda got us both in suits
                               C#m
Only she coulda got us out our boots
                                      A
Fightin' back every tear that we both knew
A
We were gonna cry today
E
 Neither one of us knows what to do
B                                  C#m
 Standin' up in front of a crowded room
                              A
On a springtime Saturday afternoon
                             C#m
With both our lives about to change
 
[Post-Chorus]
                      B
Man, you brought your baby
            A
I brought a ring
A
And I'm giving her my name
                       E*
And you're giving her away
 
[Verse 2]
E
 Yeah, I know it's gotta be tough
B                                                C#m
 And you're happy but you're hurting behind that smile
C#m
You'll always be her first love
A                            B
 And mine's walking down the aisle
 
[Pre-Chorus]
B
That song's about to play
      A
We're gonna say, "I do"
            B
And for the rest of my days
           A
I'll do my best to fill your shoes
 
[Chorus]
E                               B
 Only she coulda got us both in suits
                               C#m
Only she coulda got us out our boots
                                      A
Fightin' back every tear that we both knew
A
We were gonna cry today
E
 Neither one of us knows what to do
B                                  C#m
 Standin' up in front of a crowded room
                              A
On a springtime Saturday afternoon
                             C#m
With both our lives about to change
 
[Post-Chorus]
                      B
Man, you brought your baby
            A
I brought a ring
A
And I'm giving her my name
                       E
And you're giving her away
 
[Bridge]
E
I'm saying, "I love you"
B                        C#m
 And you're saying, "Goodbye"
C#m
You're letting her hand go
A*
 Putting it in mine
 
[Chorus]
E                               B
 Only she coulda got us both in suits
                               C#m
Only she coulda got us out our boots
                                      A
Fightin' back every tear that we both knew
A

                              A
On a springtime Saturday afternoon
                             C#m
With both our lives about to change
 
[Post-Chorus]
                      B
Man, you brought your baby
            A
I brought a ring
A
And I'm giving her my name
                       E*
And you're giving her away
