[Intro]
G C G
[Verse 1]
G C G
She was the prettiest thing that they had ever seen
G C G
In a small town run on God and gasoline
C C/A G
They marvelled at her green eyes and her curls
D C G
But in any other town she’d be just another beautiful girl
G C G
But they wore that bible belt just a little too tight
G C G
down a one way street with only one street light
C C/A G
So to take it right you had to go the wrong way first
D C G
Lord in any other town she’d be just another beautiful girl
[Chorus]
G C G
She got caught with a boy got caught with a cigarette
C C/A D
Yea Jesus might forgive you but the preacher’s never gonna forget
G C G
She was everybody’s gossip. Everybody prayed for her
D C G
Lord in any other town she’d be just another beautiful girl
[Instrumental]
(Harmonica with guitar, short finger pick)
G C G
[Verse 2]
G C G
She grew up fast and she hiked up her Sunday gown
G C G
And the high school boys learned fast they should hang around
C C/A G
Cause in the small town nights the only thing going down was her
D C G
Lord in any other town she’d be just another beautiful girl
G C G
Yea they were looking through their bibles she was looking through a magazine
G C G
She liked them black and white and she loved them in between
C C/A G
but those looks she got were more than she deserved
D C G
Lord in any other town she’d be just another beautiful girl
[Chorus]
G C G
She got caught with a boy got caught with a cigarette
C C/A D
Yea Jesus might forgive you but the preacher’s never gonna forget
G C G
She was everybody’s gossip. Everybody prayed for her
D C G
Lord in any other town she’d be just another beautiful girl
[Verse 3]
G C G
She took the hand of a black boy and they ran away
G C G
The day she found out she was three weeks late
C C/A G
She knew that town would never love her baby girl
D C G
But in any other town she’d be just another beautiful girl
[Chorus]
G C G
She got caught with a boy got caught with a cigarette
C C/A D
Yea Jesus might forgive you but the preacher’s never gonna forget
G C G
She was everybody’s gossip. Everybody prayed for her
D C G
Lord in any other town she’d be just another beautiful girl
[Instrumental]
(Harmonica with guitar)
G C G
D C G
[Verse 4]
G C G
She was the prettiest thing that they had ever seen
G C C
In a busy hospital on a busy street
C C/A G
Should have seen her hazel eyes, brown skin and curls
D C G
But to everybody else she was just another beautiful girl
