Greener Than the Grass (We Laid On) chords by David Allan Coe
Verse 1
D
A
I painted quite a picture for
G
D
the girls in her hometown
G
D
A
And she was no exception to the rule
D
A
G
Singing all them songs about the places
D
G
that I've been
Em
A
Made a body feel just like a fool
D
A
She was like the paper bag
G
D
that once had held the wine
G
D
A
Thrown without no caution to the wind
D
A
I left her like the empty bottle
G
D
lyin' on the ground
G
Em
A
Swearin' I'd pick her up again
C
D
G
She was greener than the grass we laid
A
on underneath that Alabama sun

I guess she should have known
G
C
that ol' highway was my home
Am
To- do- do- to- do-

do do- do- do

I said she was prettier than
G
D
G
Paris in the rain
D
A
Lord I filled her full of gypsy lies
D
A
Swearin' I'd be coming back
G
D
to fetch her in the spring
G
Em
Too ashamed to look her in the eye
A
D
A
She looked about as simple as the
G
D
cotton dress I've torn
G
D
A
Sneakin' in her house at 3 a.m.
D
A
Her mama liked to question me
G
D
the day after and I was sure
G
Em
A
Her intuition told her where we'd been
C
D
G
She was greener than the grass we laid
A
on underneath that Alabama sun
D
C
D
I guess she should have known that ol'
G
C
highway was my home
She should have never listened to
Am
D
my songs to my songs
She should have never
G
listened to my songs
C
Am
D
G
C

To- do- do- to- do- do do- do- do
D
G

to- do- do- to- do- do do- do- do
