Delbert McClinton - Cant nobody say i didnt try

^CI was there when she ^C7fell for the ^Ffirst time I picked her ^G7up and saw the heartache in her ^Ceyes

I guess I knew right ^C7then how little ^Fchance I had to win But can’t ^G7nobody say I didn’t ^Ctry

She was nineteen years ^C7old and already ^Flonely Lord ^G7only knows how many men she’s ^Ctried

Why she went from man to ^C7man I’ll ^Fnever understand But can’t ^G7nobody say I didn’t ^Ctry

I ^Fthought that I was just the man to ^Ctame her And ^G7save her from the wild side of ^Clife

But the ^Fwild side had already ^Cclaimed her Living ^D7way out on the edge that’s what she ^G7loves

I ^Cread something in a ^C7book once about ^Fwomen Like a ^G7rose they last while they ^Clast

But she only blooms at ^C7night there ^Funder the neon lights But can’t ^G7nobody say I didn’t ^Ctry

She only blooms at ^C7night there ^Funder the neon lights But can’t ^G7nobody say I didn’t ^Ctry
