Verse 1
(D major) I stopped into a roadside bar
by (G major) the Georgia shore
(D major) When I saw a pretty lady
floating softly (B minor) (E minor) across (A major) the floor
I (D major) bravely strode up to her,
but before (G major) I even tried (Gsus2) (G major)
A (D major) man tapped on my shoulder,
said, I see you've (A major) met (D major) my bride
I stuttered an apology
but (G major) he said not to fret
(D major) So I bought it round and so did he
and (B minor) soon our (G major) tongues (A major) were wet
I said (D major) I was bound for Lexington
and (G major) I asked about his (D major) past
He turned to face me squarely
and set down his (A major) empty (D major) glass
He said he'd just come from Lexington
down (G major) through Carolina
And (D major) he'd meant to soon return again
but now (B minor) he'd (E major) changed (A major) his mind
For (D major) he had met his true love here
And he (G major) married her this day
He (D major) wished me luck in Lexington
And I (A major) was on my (D major) way (A major)
In four (D major) weeks' time,
I signed for Lexington, (G major)
said I'd write (D major)
And I found a seat,
and I sat next to a (B minor) girl with lonely (A major) eyes
We spoke (D major) until the barman
nearly swept (Gsus2) (G major) us from the bar
And I (D major) knew I was in love with her
by the brightness (A major) of (G major) the stars (D major)
So I asked if she would be my girl
Near (G major) the Kentucky moon
She (D major) said she loved a traveling man
Who'd sworn (E major) he'd (A major) come home soon
She faithfully (D major) described him
And my (G major) heart it almost tore
(D major) Cause I knew he was that groom
I'd met down south a month before
And I asked myself, oh should I speak?
(G major) For if I dare refrain
(D major) Then she will hope forever here
And I'll nev (E major) er hope again (A major)
But I (D major) could not break that
young girl's heart
So I (G major) left her there to pray
(G minor) And (D major) now two lonely people
Wander Lex (A major) ington today you
Lexington
