Intro:  D G D G D G D G

D                       G
Sometimes I think what turned her on
    D                  G        D
Was my old broke down boots
                  G
She wanted her a real cowboy
          D                    G
It was a phase she was goin' through
 D                  G
Not one week after she moved in
              D                    G       D
I caught her paintin' the bedroom blue
                          G
Brought home a bottle of pink chablis
        D                G
Poured out my best home brew
       A                       Bm
I was sittin' on the porch in my overalls
         G
When she packed her things to leave
                 A                            D       G
She changed her mind when she couldn't change me


--Chorus

              D                    G
She changed direction, headed out west
             D                    G
Changed her tune to some hip-hop mess
                D             A
Her dark brown hair went to blonde
        Bm7                       G
And her pretty blue eyes went to green
                   A                            D
She changed everything when she couldn't change me


--Insrumental-- > G D G

         D                  G         D
She was sittin' beside the ocean
                    G
Lookin' out at the waves
 D                         G
Watchin' how they keep on rollin'
     D                G       D
They always seem the same
                                G
She called and said she'd been thinkin' about
           D              G
All those quiet country nights
        D                        G
And whatever she thought was so wrong with me
 D                 G
Suddenly seemed alright
       A                       Bm
I was sittin' on the porch in my overalls
           G
When her truck pulled into view
                         A                           D
She said, "I changed my mind when I couldn't change you"


--Chorus Number 2

              D                     G
She changed direction, headed back home
                 D                          G
She changed her tune, it's all Haggard and Jones
                    D           A
Had her dark brown hair pulled back
        Bm7                      G
And the bluest eyes you've ever seen
                   A                            D      G
She changed everything when she couldn't change me
                             D        A
She said, "I guess when you love someone
    Bm7               G
You just gotta let it be"
                 A                            D
She changed her mind when she couldn't change me


--Solo->  G   D  G   D  G   D  G


--Chorus Number 3

              D                          G
She changed direction, she's back in my arms
                 D                       G
She thought it through, had a change of heart
                             D        A
She said, "I guess when you love someone
    Bm7               G
You just gotta let it be"
                 A                            Bm
She changed her mind when she couldn't change me
       G

Yeah, yeah
                A                           D    G   D   G
She changed it all when she couldn't change me
                    
                    D    G    D    G    D    G    D (fades out)
She couldn't change me
