Version 1 Version 2Capo 1st fret. [Intro] A [Verse 1] A D A She was in the backyard say it was a little past nine, D E A When her prince pulled up, a white pickup truck. A D A Her folks should've seen it coming it was only just a matter of time. [Refrain] D E A Plenty old e-nough, and you can't stop love. [Verse 2] A D A She stuck a note on the screen door, sorry but I got to go, D E A And that was all she wrote, her momma's heart was broke, [Refrain] D E A And that was all she wrote, so the story goes... [Chorus] F#m Now her daddy's in the kitchen, E D A Starin' out the window, scratchin' and rackin' his brains: F#m E D "How could eighteen years just up and walk a-way?" F#m E Our little pony-tailed girl, growed up to be a woman, D A Now she's gone in the blink of an eye. A She left the suds in the bucket, E A - E - A And the clothes hangin out on the line, [Verse 3] A D A Now don't you wonder what the preacher's gonna preach about Sunday morn?, D E A Nothin' quite like this, has happened here be-fore. D A Well he must've been a looker, a smooth-talkin' son-of-a-gun, D E A For such a grounded girl, to just up and run. [Refrain] D E A 'Course you can't fence time, and you can't stop love. [Chorus] F#m Now all the bitties in the beauty shop, E D A Gossip going non-stop, sippin' on pink lemon-ade: F#m E D "How could eighteen years just up and walk a-way?" F#m E Our little pony-tailed girl, growed up to be a woman, D A Now she's gone in the blink of an eye. A She left the suds in the bucket, E A And the clothes hangin' out on the line, ye-hoo! [Interlude] A A A A D D D D A A A A A A A A D D D E E E E A (x3) [Chorus] F#m She's got her pretty little bare feet, E D A Hangin' out the window and their headed up to Vegas to-night: F#m E D "How could eighteen years just up and walk a-way?" F#m E Our little pony-tailed girl, growed up to be a woman, D A Now she's gone in the blink of an eye. A She left the suds in the bucket, E A And the clothes hangin' out on the line. [Refrain] A She left the suds in the bucket, E A And the clothes hangin' out on the line, [Outro] A D A She was in the backyard say it was a little past nine, D E A When her prince pulled up, a white pickup truck, D E A Plenty old e-nough, and you can't stop love, D E A No you can't fence time, and you can't stop looooove!
