I Will Always Love You Chords by Dolly Parton

[Ab] Back in _ 1967 I had the good fortune of getting to be the girl singer on the Porter Wagoner show
Some of you might remember that and when I started working with Porter
I told him I had come to Nashville to be my own star and to have my own group
But the money was so good.
I told Porter I would stay for five years and he agreed to that
Well five years came and I wanted to go and the show was doing great and Porter was having a real hard time of that
And he was stubborn we used to fight like cats and dogs because we were both stubborn
But anyhow, I told him I wanted to go on out on my own
So he was just having a fit about it and we argued a lot and I thought he's never gonna listen to me
He's not hearing a word I'm saying so why don't you just go home do what you do best write a song?
So I went home wrote a song about it came back the next day and I said Porter just sit down
Let me sing you something then you'll know how I feel
And I just want you to know that I will always love you and that's what I call this song and it goes like this _ _ _ _
