[Intro]
G Bm C G G Bm C D G
[Verse]
G
She was tan, she was classy
Bm
From southern Tallahassee
C G
And her daddy had the Kennedy hair
G
She graduated Vandy
Bm
Old money and a hand-me-down
C D G
Country club sorority flair
Em
Woulda been a good wife
D
Woulda been a good life
C G
Couple kids in some khaki shorts
Em
She started talking 'bout marriage
D
And I knew 3 carats
C D G
Wouldn't shine in my rusty old ford
[Chorus]
G
Here's to all my near Mrs.
Bm
Give them all my best wishes
C
And close call kisses that never came through
D
Thank God I didn't ever say I do
G
Here's to all the lost chances
Bm
Last call romances
C Bm
'Cause if those near Mrs. had ever come through
C D G Bm C G
I would've missed out on you
[Verse]
G
She was sweet, she was mean
Bm C G
From New Orleans, she tried to put me in her voodoo spell
G
A wildfire raging
Bm
A French Quarter cajun
C D G
And her brother did some time in jail
Em D
LA was pretty and New York was witty and
C G
Chicago got too cold for me
Em
I went all around the world
D
For a marrying girl
C D G
All the while she was in Tennessee
[Chorus]
G
Here's to all my near Mrs.
Bm
Give them all my best wishes
C
And close call kisses that never came through
D
Thank God I didn't ever say I do
G
Here's to all the lost chances
Bm
Last call romances
C Bm
'Cause if those near Mrs. had ever come through
C D G
I would've missed out on you
[Solo]
G Bm C G G Bm C D G
Come on now, hey
[Chorus]
G
Here's to all my near Mrs.
Bm
Give them all my best wishes
C
And close call kisses that never came through
D
Thank God I didn't ever say I do
G
Here's to all the lost chances
Bm
Last call romances
C Bm
'Cause if those near Mrs. had ever come through
Am G
I would've missed out on you
C Bm
Yeah, I probably would of ended up something blue
C D G
And I would've missed out on you
