(F,E,D,C,G - Am,C,F - F,E,D,C,G,F,C)
Intro G-F
(G) She went back to Wichita,
She went back to her Ma and Pa.
(D) Reckon I saw her next to my truck,
Pumpin' gas with the (G) car packed up.
We (G) talked as neighbors will,
That're waiting for their tanks to fill.
We (D) talked about nothing, how it might snow,
How far she had to (G) go.
Chorus
Going (C) back (B/G) where
The (Am7) grass (G) grows (D) tall, (D/F#)
And the (Em) fields (G) burn in the (C) fall.
You can (C) still (B/G) hear
The (Am7) night (G) birds (D) call,
(C) Back in Wichita (G) INTRO G-F
(G) She came here in '85,
She came here as a July bride.
But it (D) never got easy, never got rich,
Ain't got much but what she (G) came here with.
Good times have all been spent,
She ain't broken but she's badly bent.
Now there's (D) nothing she wants here
Nothing that shines,
She made up her (G) mind.
Chorus (+ Instrumental Chorus)
Bridge
(D) She says for all my time
Well I (C) ain't got much to (G) show.
(D) You can tell that man of mine
And (C) anyone who (D) wants to know.
