Standard (EADGBE)

She was a poor girl on the wrong side of the river

Where she played every day and dreamed of better

He was a farm boy who worked hard every day

Like a prince in shining armor he came and took her away

And she never worked a day in her life

Every thing she needed he provides

(Now on the 1st and 3rd lines you double the amound of strums and kinda pound them out)

She was only 16 and he was 22

She'd never had a lover and he had had a few

He had his heart broken by a girl he called his wife

But in her he found a new hope, a chance at a better life

And never did they're love ever fade

And never did they're hearts every stray

But today they sit in different rooms

In the same house

Watching different T.V.s

They barely even speak

They get together to sleep and eat

And I wonder do they remember me

I wonder do they remember me

(Really quick strumming just the one chord, I have difficulty holding a set strum

and singing such a long line *shrugs*)

Or am I just one of those dreams that didn't work out

I bet they've given up on me by now

(Pound out the next chords and accuentuate the fact that the just switch back and forth)

All they ever wanted out of life was a house and a car and money and a baby

And they worked hard for such a long long time and at last they got all

those things *hold it out*

So what (so what) Do you do (do you do) When all of your dreams come true

(Just play the highest few strings of the G chord at the end of each line, its meant to

the C chords at the start and end of each line.)

So what (so what) Do you do-oo-ooo-oo When all of your dreams come true

(I usualy repeat the last lines a couple times in lue of the harmonica solo or just the

chord progression at the end)
