Drive in movies Nanci Griffith
[F]Sister had a cry[Bb]stal voice
She played a [F]Silvertone from M[Bb]ontgomery Ward
[F]Baez songs and [Bb]Monroe hair
She s[F]ure could turn the boy's h[Bb]eads to stare
Sw[Am]im wear saunter, [Dm]tan and haunt them
That's a[Bb]ll she learned in s[C]chool
[Am]Books were for the o[Dm]ther girls
And the ot[Bb]her girls were fo[C]ols
[Bb]Texas back in '6[C]9
Was dr[Dm]ive-in mo[C]vies and dashb[Bb]oard lights
[F]Father waltzed her do[Bb]wn the aisle
Cuz c[F]ollege didn't s[Bb]uit her style
[F]Sad truth was she could b[Bb]arely read
But if you t[F]old poor father, well he w[Bb]ouldn't believe you
The te[Am]lephone rang drove M[Dm]other insane
With the h[Bb]earts left on the s[C]helf
Sist[Am]er's gone and she wo[Dm]n't be home
Cuz she ne[Bb]ver took care of he[C]rself
[Bb]Texas back in [C]'69
Was dr[Dm]ive in mo[C]vies and dashbo[Bb]ard lights
Chorus:
[Bb]Where is she n[C]ow?
The b[F]ackseat q[C]ueen of f[Dm]raternity [C]
[Bb]Where is she [C]now?
She's h[F]eavy of t[C]high and [Dm]light on inte[C]grity
[Bb]Someone should have t[C]old her
When bea[F]uty's [C]all you off[Dm]er
Too s[Bb]oon the world d[C]iscovers that your bueaty's [F]gone [Bb]
[F](it's gone) [Bb]
[F]Mother can't you hear your [Bb]daughter crying
[F]Father wake up her y[Bb]outh is dying
Her [F]kids are grown...husband's [Bb]gone away
It's a s[F]hame cuz she had such a [Bb]lovely face
[Am]Can't you see she ne[Dm]eded more
Than "[Bb]Oh, what a pretty c[C]hild!"
[Am]You never taught her t[Dm]ruth from lie
All you [Bb]told her was to sm[C]ile
[Bb]Texas back in '6[C]9
Was dr[Dm]ive in mo[C]vies and dash[Bb]board lights
