She Is His Only Need
Wynonna Judd
Capo 4
Intro:
Em A7 D A
Verse 1:
D
Billy was a small town loner
Em
Who never did dream
A A7
Of ever leaving southern Arizona
D A7
Or ever hearing wedding bells ring
D
He never had a lot of luck with the ladies
Em
But he sure had a lot of good working skills
A A7
Never cared about climbing any ladder
D A
He knew the way in a small café
A A7
Found the will; he met Miss Bonnie and a
D
Little bit of her was a little too much
Bm Em D/F#
A few movies and a few months later
G
The feeling got strong enough
A
They didn’t own a car
A7 D G
So it must have been love
A A7 D
That drove him uptown for a diamond;
A
That’s when he started goin’
Chorus:
D
Over the line
Em
Working overtime
A A7
To give her things just to hear her say she don’t
D A
Deserve them, but he loves her, and he just
D
Kept going overboard
Em
Over the limit to afford
A A7 D
To give her things he knew she wanted
Em
‘Cause without her where would he be?
A A7 D A D A
See, it’s not for him; she is his only need
Verse 2:
D
Ring on her finger and one on the ladder
Em
A new promotion every now and then
A A7
Bonnie worked until she couldn't tie her apron
D A
Then stayed at home and had the first of two children
D
And my, how the time did fly
Em
The babies grew up and moved away
A A7
Left ‘em sitting on the front porch rocking
D A
And Billy watching Bonnie’s hair turn gray
A7
And every once in a while, you could
D
See him get up and he’d head downtown
Bm Em D/F#
‘Cause he heard about something she wanted
G
And it just had to be found
A A7
Didn’t matter how simple or how much
D G
It was love
A A7
And boy, ain’t that love just something
D G A
When it’s strong enough to keep a man goin’
[Chorus]
Coda:
D
Over the line,
Em
Working overtime
A D A
She is his only need
D
Overboard
Em
Over the limit
A D
She is his only need
