Verse 1
 
F
She came from this place
 
Such a pretty face
                       Bb
And she danced to the radio
F
She could sing a song
 
The boys came along
                               Bb
She didn't know how to just say no
Gm                  C                 Gm
There's gonna be a tall, dark man to wed
                   C                 Bb
There's gonna be a cold, hard truth instead
 
 
Chorus 1
 
              F               C
She's waving goodbye to seventeen
Bb      F            C
From a long, white limousine
Am                                 Bb
Some dreams are in the air some are seen
F

Verse 2
 
F
Well she owned this town
 
But couldn't settle down
                             Bb
They played her songs on the radio
F
But she partied late
 
And she made them wait
                      Bb
It's all there on the video
Gm                C              Gm
There's gonna be a long bus ride ahead
                      C              Bb
There's gonna be some cold hotel in bed
 
 
Chorus 2
 
              F                C
She's waving goodbye to twenty-three
Bb        F           C
From deep inside the machine
Am                                  Bb
Some hands are in the dirt some are clean

Verse 3
 
F
Well she fell so hard
 
And her kids looked on
                           Bb
She passed on to the other side
F
It went downhill fast
 
You know nothing lasts
                                 Bb
I heard her song on a late night drive
Gm                C                  Gm
Shoulda been some bright, blue skies ahead
                      C                 Bb
There's gonna be some cold, hard ground instead
 
 
Chorus 3
 
              F                C
She's waving goodbye to thirty-three
Bb       F          C
From a long, black limousine
Am                               Bb
Life's just as kind to you as it is mean
F
