Chords for The Highwomen “If She Ever Leaves Me” NFF 7-26-19

I think it's good! _ _
_ You know the song, _ initially I thought the song would be one of heterosexual country love _ _
And then one day I was on the elliptical
On our [Ab] anniversary, as you do [G] In Wyoming
On [Ab] our anniversary
On our [N] anniversary
Cause I'm a cowboy
And that's my steel horse _
_ _ _ _ _ _
And it occurred to me that maybe, just maybe Brandi Carlile would sing this song
And it could be a gay country song
So then I wrote it _
From that perspective
Me and Amanda and our friend Chris Tompkins of Nashville, Tennessee
And then, what I hadn't thought about was
We're gonna have to [E] take this song to [B] Brandi [Abm] Carlile
_ [F] And I'm not gay, like not [B] all the way
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
So I thought this is [Ab] kinda like taking my civil rights movie to Spike Lee _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _
[G] And she loved our gay country song [Abm] and we love it too
_ [N] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] I see [Cm] you watch her [Db] from across [Ab] the road
_ Dancing [Bbm] in her home in your mind
_ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] But it takes more [Cm] than whiskey _ [Db] to make that
_ [Ab] _ And by the third drink [Eb] you'll find out [Ab] she's mine
And [Fm] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
[Cm] I'm a secret
[Db] The _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ sky hasn't always [Eb] been blue
_ _ [Ab] And my love _ [Db] or my love [Ab] or him
If she ever leaves me
[Eb] It won't be [Ab] for you _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ _
She don't have the same look [Bbm] at her
_ [Eb] _ _
[Ab] She'll drink all the liquor
[Db] And leave you [Ab] the ice
That's too much, come on _
[Eb] She likes [Ab] perfume
_ _ _ And I'm a [Cm] secret
_ _ [Db] _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ The sky hasn't always _ [Eb] _ _
been _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ blue
[Db] And my love or my love [Ab] _ _ or him
If she ever leaves me
[Eb] It won't be [Ab] for you _ _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ [Db] She don't have the same look at her
She'll drink all the liquor
And _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] leave you the _ [Db] _
ice
That's [Bb] too much, _ [Db] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] come _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _
on
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Db] She's a secret
[Ab] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
