[N] _ _ _ Well, like a lot of little girls growing up in the south.
I grew up loving Dolly Parton
_ Every Sunday night.
I'd stay up and watch her variety show with my mother mouthing all the words to every single one of her songs
So I guess you could say I didn't just love Dolly.
I wanted to be Dolly
Literally, I mean come on.
She was blonde.
I was blonde.
She's from Tennessee.
I'm from Tennessee
She has this amazing figure
I'm from Tennessee _ _ _
This _ _ _ dignified [Db] spiritual and very caring woman [N] also happens to be a real hoot
Her laugh is just infectious.
Have you ever heard of dolly isms?
_ _ Reese I don't get offended by dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb and I know that I'm definitely not blonde _ _
And _ _ my personal favorite, you know, sweetie it takes a lot of money to look this cheap _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ What attracts me most to dolly is that she's never forgotten where she came from
[Bb] She's the keeper of the Smoky Mountain
Traditions and of [Abm] bluegrass music and one that takes great pleasure in seeing it spoken in musical traditions passed down from one generation to the next
_ As I think about it, there's really only one way for me to say exactly how I feel about you Dolly Parton
I too will always love [N] you _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I said I could get you with a vibe to a cup
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _
Something goes [G] _ wrong _ _ _
Pretend your [C] love is blind
_ In this _ _ education
[Cm] Where _ _ you feel need no [G] conversation
We ride together
_ _ Making love with each other
Our _ minds in the tree
That [C] is what we are
No one in the tree
How can we be wrong
[G] Stay away with me
[C] Do or not
We ride together
And [G] we rely on each other
_ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ How can I live without you
If the love is [F] gone
[C] Everything is nothing
If you got to go
Why don't you [F] just walk through the night _
Slowly losing sight
[C] Of the real thing _ _
_ No more [F] will you [Am] cry
Baby I will hurt you [F] Never [Fm] Start again
And love _ forever
We can [C] ride together
_ _ Making love with each other
Our minds _ in the tree
That [F] is what we are
No one in the tree
How can we be wrong
Stay [C] away with me
Do or [F] not
And we [C] rely on each other
How [Am]
can [Dm] _ I live without [C] you _
_ _ [F] _ _ [Gm] If the [Ab] _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [C] love is gone
Everything is nothing
If you got to go
Why don't you just walk through the night
Feel like a bottle [Ab] of champagne
[N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Ladies and gentlemen

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Back through the years
I go wondering once again
_ Back through the seasons
I go wondering once again
How did things [C] turn out for you
_ I [G] recall a box of eggs
Someone gave us
_ And how my mama
Put the [C] right cheese
_ [G] The right many colors
And every piece Of small
And I didn't have a clue
And it [D] wasn't way down in the fall
[G] Mama sewed the rags together
[C] Sewing every piece
Of raw meat
She made [G] my coat in many colors
[D] That I was so [G] proud of _
In [C] my coat in many colors
That [G] my mama made for me
[C] Made a worry from my eyes
But [G] I wore it [D] so proudly
_ _ [G] I know I had no money
But [C] I was rich as I came
In [G] my coat in many colors
[D] My mama [G] made for me
_ I [F] made a lot [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
of stitches
And [E] holes in both my [A] shoes
In my coat in many colors
[E] I hurried off to school
[A] Just to find the others laughing
[D] And making fun of me
In [A] my coat in many colors
[E] My mama made [A] for me
_ But [D] they didn't _ understand me
And I [A] tried to make them see
But they didn't understand me
The [D] one and only poor
[A] Only if they [E] choose to be
_ _ [A] I only had no money
But [D] I was rich as I could be
In [A] my coat in many colors
[E] My mama [D] made for me
Made [A] just for me
[E] _ _ [A] _ If _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
