She Was Young And She Was Pretty
Written and recorded by Marty Robbins

C                 F       C
She was young and she was pretty 
                 F      C
She was warm and tender too
F             C
She was all a man could ask for 
F                          C
But her heart could not be true
F                         C
No her heart could not be true

                  F         C
Eyes that sparkle just like diamonds 
                 F       C
Lips as fresh as morning dew
F                 C
She was young and she was fickle 
F                          C
And her heart could not be true
F                         C
No her heart could not be true

F
Cheeks just like a rose when blooming 

And a form so fine and rare

Curls that hung below her shoulders 
C                     G7
Gold the color of her hair

C                 F       C
Now she's gone no one can claim her 
               F       C
In my cell I'm sad and blue
F                  C
One bright night I shot and killed her 
F                    C
She was young and so untrue
F                    C
She was young and so untrue

F
One bright night I watched another 

Kissed her like I used to do

So I drew my gun and killed her 
C                    G7
She was young and so untrue

C              F       C
In the morning just at daybreak 
               F          C
When the roses kissed the dew
F            C
I shall hang because I killed her 
F                    C
She was young and so untrue
F                    C
She was young and so untrue
