[Intro]
G Am  F C
C Am  G C

[Verse]
        Am
To her mama and her daddy,
                        F    C
 she's the best thing ever made
        Am
To the boys 'round here,
                      G    C
she's the one that got away
        Am
To the bird on the barbwire,
             F          C
 that girl looks like spring
     Am
To a guy like me,
                  G    C
she looks like everything

[Chorus]
                      F
That girl can take a gray
sky and paint it blue

She can put the smooth
 in the 90 proof
                  C
She can hang the moon
in a sundress
Even put a sinner
on a front pew
                Am
She can make a shining diamond
         G             F
 out of West Virginia coal
She can put a smile on
            Am       F  C
 a weeping willoooow-ow-ow
C Am  F C

[Verse]
         Am
There's something in the
           F         C
 way that that girl moves
             Am
It's like a spotlight follows
                G       C
 her through a crowded room
Am
She showed up like
            F      C
rain on a desert rose
     Am
And where I'd be without her,
      G     C
God only knows

[Chorus]
                      F
That girl can take a gray
 sky and paint it blue
She can put the smooth
 in the 90 proof
                  C
She can hang the moon
 in a sundress
Even put a sinner
on a front pew

                Am
She can make a shining diamond
         G             F
 out of West Virginia coal
She can put a smile on
            Am       F  C
 a weeping willoooow-ow-ow
Am  F C
