Tuning: E A D G B E

This was made using the chord list for the same song on Chordify.com. I just wanted to add this for people who don't use Chordify and because I don't use that site. Credit to the chords,thus, are not mine. The strumming pattern for this is always down as there technically isn't a real pattern.

At fir^Bst I didn't want it Her daddy, w^Eell, we didn't fit^B But I cou^Eldn't swing it I was sca^Bred to do it al^F#one

^BSeventeen and pregnant Not what I had in m^D#mind Her d^G#maddy was a farmer But n^Eot the wealthy k^F#ind

I w^G#manted to be a dancer But not the ^D#mkind I did for pay ^G#mWho was t^F#his new ^C#person That was ge^Etting in my ^F#way?

^C#mI could've walked out ^ELeft her for dead ^BCut her out with ^G#mmy own hands ^EBut something in me ^BWas kicking and screaming to l^F#ive

When the wo^Erld's at stake There are li^Bves to save And even tho^Eugh I shake My hands at G^Bod I pray Let her ^Ehave a better life Than I c^Ban provide Lord have m^C#7ercy on my soul As I t^Bry to do her right^E

It to^Bok a long, long time To unders^D#mtand God's plan for me He t^G#mhrew me down the river Beat my f^Elush in Kanka^F#kee

By the t^G#mime my water broke I was d^Beep in ^D#mmy own debt But ^G#mwhen I s^F#aw her f^C#ace It was ea^Esy to forg^F#et

^C#mI knew I had to ^EGet her away ^BTake her to where my d^G#mebt was paid ^EA new beginning A pla^Bce I'd never been ^F# And never seen When the wor^Eld's at stake All your dre^Bams they change And every s^Etep you take Is for an^Bother's sake And even ^Eif she grows to hate me I won't cha^Bnge my course of heart ^C#Lord have m^C#m7ercy on my soul If we e^Bver grow apart

^EYou think that I resent her very being? That maybe I regret her ever needing a ^Bmother ^E

Is it wrong that I enjoy to right her?

I may be rash and overprotecting, n^Bot bitter I supp^G#ose I co^F#uld be s^Fmoft^Fer… ^C#

^C#mI can do better ^EHold you closer I'm lear^Bning that As I grow ^G#molder ^EI'm the one to for^F#give ^G#m

When the wo^F#rld's at stake You give your l^C#ife away And it fe^F#els so great To watch the o^C#ne you saved Be the mo^F#st adoring person Your m^C#om has ever known Lord have me^D#m7rcy on my soul And let my d^C#reams be all her own ^F# When my world's at stake... ^C#
