Verse 1:
Dsus D Dsus D
Well the first time, that I ever saw her
Dsus A
I picked her up, in my Chevy Malibu.
Dsus D Dsus D
Goin' to the grocery, for her mother
Dsus A D D-Dsus-D
For a loaf of bread, and a Pepsi Cola too.
Verse 2:
Well she got in, and she rolled down the window
I said man turn it up! I love that country tune.
She was wearin' the finest, rabbit skin halter
I was overcome, by the smell of her perfume.

Chorus:
D G D
But then I saw her, standing at the alter

Standin' there, with a boy named Walter

He was expecting her to be his wife.

Little did I, know my heart was breakin'

Then the preacher, posed the final question

Then I heard, those church bells ring.

Verse 3:
Well she was young, and so kind-hearted
That she wrecked my world, and she left me with the blues.
She called me sugar, and I knew that when we parted
I knew just what I was gonna do.

There was a string of soup cans tied to Walter's B...M...W!
