As played in the doghouse session.
Capo 3.
[Verse 1]
A
She was my first
C#m Dm A
my first encounter with a creature you can't train to obey
A
Born with a temper
C#m
hard headed daughter of a coal miner
Dm A
She swore Loretta Lynn could've penned that song in her name
[Pre-Chorus]
A C#m
I'd like to live as her little lamb
for just as long as I can
Bm F#m
but the man upstairs don't give a damn
Bm A
and he's coming to take my woman
[Chorus]
A * A
If she don't grow old by me
C#m
take my soul and set it free
Bm Bm *
cuz who else gon' claim this vagabond tragedy
Dm
when her love was my only identity
[Verse 2]
A C#m C#m
I was raised in my mother's kitchen
Dm
where the bread was the body of a son
A A
who never let her wine run dry
A
I've begged on bruised knees to the holy trinity
C#m
but they don't got a dime to spare for my charity
Dm A
and all I ask is to keep my lady company
[Pre-Chorus]
A C#m
I'd like to live as her little lamb
for just as long as I can
Bm F#m
but the man upstairs don't give a damn
Bm A
and he's coming to take my woman
[Chorus]

If she don't grow old by me

take my soul and set it free

cuz who else gon' claim this vagabond tragedy

when her love was my only identity

who ( oo - woah)
