Okay, this is my first chord cover before. I copied the chords he used in his video so this should be
completely correct. I personally keep my guitar in Half-Step Down tuning, so with that your Capo would
go onto the 2nd fret. But if in standard (like Luke) the Capo is on 1.
*In this song, there is a type of C chord that is used, it's like a G but you move your top two fingers each
down a string and that's it, I can't find the specific name for it. The same goes for this Em7
chord, so I will have the tab for it below. (Cadd9 I believe, still unsure)
Sorry Guys!*

[Intro]
G
You were wearing that black dress,
Cadd9
coat and cowboy boots.
G
he was there but I didn't care,
Cadd9
too busy staring at you.
D
pouring rain with them blue lights flashing,
Cadd9
in the hills of Appalachia.
D
close to tears with her makeup smeared
Cadd9
I asked her what had happened.
[Chorus]
G
I know that she ain't ready,
D
she won't be for a while.
Em7
he broke her down and when I'm around,
Cadd9
I can see it in her smile.
G
shes finally getting closer,
D
it's just too plain to see.
Em7
I know that she ain't ready,
Cadd9
and that's alright with me.
G, D, Em7, Cadd9
[Verse]
G
you were wearing that red dress,
Cadd9
pearls and those high heels.
G
I like the way it made you look,
Cadd9
love the way it made you feel.
D
I said to you I sure love,
Cadd9
to do this again.
D
and you said me too,
Cadd9
but I'm just not over him.
[Chorus]
G
I know that she ain't ready,
D
she won't be for a while.
Em7
he broke her down and when I'm around,
Cadd9
I can see it in her smile.
G
shes finally getting closer,
D
it's just too plain to see.
Em7
I know that she ain't ready,
Cadd9
and that's alright with me.
G, D, Em7, Cadd9
[Bridge]
D
she started calling be baby,
and two years later I was
Cadd9
down on one knee.
D
ring in hand,
I said I'm your man and girl
Cadd9
will you marry me?
[Outro]
G
she said you know that I'm ready,
D
I have been for a while.
Em7
when the bells sound and you turn around,
Cadd9
I'll be walking down the aisle.
G
this will only bring us closer,
D
it's just too plain to see,
Em7
I know that we're ready,
Cadd9
and that's alright with me.
[ENDING]
G, D, Em7, Cadd9
G, D, Em7, Cadd9, D, G.
I hope this is easy to understand and that it helps you as much as possible!
Enjoy!
