I _ [A] found a woman _ _ [G] _ _
I _ [D] felt I truly loved _ _
She was [A] _ _
everything [F#m] _ _ [G] _ _ _
I'd [D] ever been dreaming of
_ _ But she was [A] back, I didn't know [G] it
_ Her pretty [D] smile never did show it _ _
All I [A] knew is what I could [G] see
_ _ And I knew I [D] wanted her for [Bm] me
_ I took her [G] home to mama _ _
_ [Bm] Mama _ wanted to see my [G] future _ bride _
_ [Bm] Oh, she looked at us [G] both
_ And _ [A] _ then she called me to her side
She said, son, _ [D] _ take _ time [A] to know her
_ [G] _ It's not an [D] overnight _ plan _
_ _ Take _ _ [A] time to know _ her
_ [G] _ Please don't rush [D] into this thing
_ _ _ But I didn't [A] listen to mama _
_ [G] _ I went straight to [D] her chair _ _
_ I just couldn't wait to [A] have a little girl of mine
_ [G] _ When I got home [D] from work _ _ _
_ _ Rachel was there, [A] so was my future bride
[G] _ She looked at us both
And then she [D] called me to her side
She said, son, _ _ take [A] time to know her _
_ [G] _ It's not an [D] overnight _ plan _
_ _ Take _ _
_ [A] time to know her
_ [G] _ Please, _ please don't [D] rush into this thing
_ _ Well, it looked like [A] everything
Was gonna turn out all right
[G] _ And then I came home a [D] little early one night _
_ _ And there she was, [A] kissing on a [F#m] lovely mane
[G] _ _ Now I know what mama [D] meant
When she took me by the hand and said, son _ _ _
Take [A] time to know her
[G] _ _ It's not [D] an overnight plan
_ _ _ _ Take _ [A] _ time to know her
[G] _ _ Please don't [D] rush into this thing
_ _ Take _ _ [A] time to know her
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
