     I FOLLOWED HER AROUND-BY: JIMMY RANKIN TRANSCRIBED BY: GARTH McCRADY 
 Intro   F/Am/G/G
 F/Am/G/G    
      N/C             F
 I followed her around    
              C                                                                                 
 I was quite na•ve  
               F                                                                                                                          
 Holes in my  soul
                           C
 I wore my heart upon my  sleeve
                          F
 Down a winding country  road
                               Am
 Despite the stories I'd been  told
                      F
 Now I don't go into town  
                       C
 Since I followed her around   Still I watched in disbelief
 From the shadows of  my grief
 She wore lipstick black as coal
 And her boots up to her  knees
 How could I even speak my mind? 
 Oh the boys are making time
 I  bowed my head without a sound 
 Since I followed her around                          G
 Everybody's got a hunger 
         F                   C
 And a seed they've got to  sow
                                G
 I should have listened to my  mother
                  F    Am  D
 When she cried no child  no
                                    F
 Son get your feet back on the  ground
                          C
 Don't go follow her around       I watched her from afar
 The pretty flower it did  bloom
 Oh how that girl could work a bar
 As she waltzed around the  room
 I couldn't take it anymore
 Tried to get her out the door
 One more  time she shot me down
 Since I followed her around   CHORUS   SOLO   F/Am/G/G
 F/Am/G/G      N/C
 Now I'm old and wise
 Still got that  sparkle in my eyes
 And all my kids have come and gone
 All except my  youngest son 
 It was just the other day
 Well I swore I heard him  say
 Dad I'm heading in to town 
 I think he follows her around   Dad I'm heading in to town 
 I think he follows  her around   
 Dad I'm heading in to town 
 I think he  follows her around
