Tabbed by: Emrldeyzs
 
[Intro]
D A D G D A D
 
D                      A
I was fifteen, she was eighteen,
D                       G            D
The prettiest thing I'd ever seen in my life.
                         A
An' I loved her at first sight.
        D          A       D             G
I found her in Marietta, a town north of Atlanta.
              D              A
I brought her home to see my folks,
               D
They loved her too.
 
[Verse 2]
D                      A
We were together for a long time,
           D            G
Thought it would be for all time.
           D                                 A
But things change and re-arrange, she had to go.
            D           G             D            G
She left me cryin' in '79, an airline pilot in Caroline.
        D                    A
I was a wreck, can't drive a check:
            D
It broke my heart.
 
[Chorus]
D         G                 A
 My first love was an older woman.
G
There's been many since,
             A
But there'll never be another.
         D              G              D          G
Built in nineteen fifty-five, snowshoe white, overdrive,
                  D                     A
I should've never sold her, I'll always love her,
        D
She was mine.
 
[Solo]
 
[Verse 3]
D                        A
Years went by, teardrops dried;
          D           G
I got her back, I was surprised.
    D                            A
In '93, a gift to me on Christmas Eve.
D                          G
We were both older, so I restored her.
D                      G
Could've sold her, for alot more.
D                              A
But I will never, she's mine forever,
        D
Until I go.
 
[Chorus]
         G                 A
My first love was an older woman.
G
There's been many since,
             A
But there'll never be another.
         D              G              D          G
Built in nineteen fifty-five, snowshoe white, overdrive,
                  D                     A
I should've never sold her, I'll always love her,
        D
She was mine.
 
G          D                       A
I'll never sell her, she's mine forever,
           D
I love her so.

In the chorus it should be "I never should've sold her". I think.

Why use the Capo? The song is in the Key of E. Just curious. I do like G, it's in my vocal range.
