[D] [A]
[Bm] [A]
[D] I [A] found a [G] woman, I [D] found a Juliet girl, she [A] was
[F#m] everything [Am] [Bm] I'd [D] ever been dreaming of,
but she was [A] bad, I didn't know [G] it, her pretty [D]
smile never did show me,
all [A] I knew [F#m] was what I'd be [Bm] seeing, and I [D] knew I wanted [Bm] her for me,
took her [G] home to mama, [Bm] mama wanna see [G] my future bride,
[Bm] well she looked [G] at us both, [A] and as she called me to her side, she said [D] son,
take [A]
time to know [G] that it's not an [D]
overnight thing, take time [A]
to know [G] that,
please don't [D]
rush into anything, but I didn't [A] listen to mama,
[G] I won't say [D]
that I changed, I just couldn't [A] wait to have a little [G] time,
when [D] I got off the work, the preacher [A] there told my [G] future bride,
he looked at [D] us both, and he called me to his side, take [A]
time to know [G] that,
it's not an [D] overnight thing, take [F#m]
time to know that,
[G] please [D] don't rush into anything, but it took [A] like everything,
well I turned out [G] alright, then I came [D] home with a little girl,
one time, and there she [A] was, kissing [D] on another [G] man,
now I know [D] what mama meant when she took me by the hand and said son,
take [A]
time to know [G] that it's not [D] an overnight thing,
take [A] time to know [G] that, please don't [D] rush into anything,
but it took [A]
like [G] everything, well I [D]
turned out alright,
then I came home [A]
with a [G] little [D]
girl, one time,
take [A]
time to know [G] that it's not an [D]
overnight thing,
[A]
