  			Pretty sure this is how Jamey did it. Just listen to the song a few times to get  
your timing down but other than that pretty simple. 



verse 1: 
A                 D 
She was Six foot Three 
A                     D 
She could bench press me 
D                                 A 
Had a voice like a young Charlie Pride 
A 
Well she walked up to you 

Said honey how do you do

Bought you a drink

Wrote her phone number down on your hand

She was well on her way

Just hit second base

She was lonesome, onry and mean
