Near Mrs Chords

[Intro]
 
G  Bm  C  G  G  Bm  C D  G
 
 
[Verse]
        G
She was tan, she was classy
     Bm
From southern Tallahassee
        C                      G
And her daddy had the Kennedy hair
    G
She graduated Vandy
    Bm
Old money and a hand-me-down
C              D        G
Country club sorority flair
       Em
Woulda been a good wife
       D
Woulda been a good life
       C                    G
Couple kids in some khaki shorts
            Em
She started talking 'bout marriage
      D
And I knew 3 carats
         C           D         G
Wouldn't shine in my rusty old ford
 
 
[Chorus]
          G
Here's to all my near Mrs.
          Bm
Give them all my best wishes
    C
And close call kisses that never came through
      D
Thank God I didn't ever say I do
          G
Here's to all the lost chances
     Bm
Last call romances
          C                   Bm
'Cause if those near Mrs. had ever come through
  C               D       G  Bm  C  G
I would've missed out on you
 
 
[Verse]
        G
She was sweet, she was mean
     Bm                        C                    G
From New Orleans, she tried to put me in her voodoo spell
  G
A wildfire raging
  Bm
A French Quarter cajun
        C                D       G
And her brother did some time in jail
Em                D
LA was pretty and New York was witty and
   C                     G
Chicago got too cold for me
       Em
I went all around the world
      D
For a marrying girl
        C                D      G
All the while she was in Tennessee
 
 
[Chorus]
          G
Here's to all my near Mrs.
          Bm
Give them all my best wishes
    C
And close call kisses that never came through
      D
Thank God I didn't ever say I do
          G
Here's to all the lost chances
     Bm
Last call romances
          C                   Bm
'Cause if those near Mrs. had ever come through
  C               D       G
I would've missed out on you
 
 
[Solo]
G  Bm  C  G                  G  Bm  C D  G
           Come on now, hey
 
 
[Chorus]
          G
Here's to all my near Mrs.
          Bm
Give them all my best wishes
    C
And close call kisses that never came through
      D
Thank God I didn't ever say I do
          G
Here's to all the lost chances
     Bm
Last call romances
          C                   Bm
'Cause if those near Mrs. had ever come through
  Am                       G
I would've missed out on you
        C                          Bm
Yeah, I probably would of ended up something blue
      C               D        G
And I would've missed out on you
