Forever Girl

Simple 8-chord pattern here nothing complex.
On the iTunes album there is this little riff or run,
whatever you may call it after the Em following a D
throughout the song. I suggest only playing this run
during the intro and places where you are not singing.
It's a little difficult to keep up with the timing.
Wherever you see an Em* play this:
G-string -2nd fret slide to 4th fret then back up to 2nd
pull off the 2nd fret to the open string pick the G.
--3rd fret - A string. D string open - 3rd fret E string--
the portion indicated by -- above replaces the strummed C chord. go straight to G.
E--------------------3---

D------------------0-----

[Intro]
C G D Em* C G Em D
[V.1]
C G
She’s dancing in a field
D Em*
A flower in her hair

Sitting on my tailgate

I can’t help but stare

Summer sun a shining

On her tan skin

Yes I can
[v.2]
C G
We head out to the lake
D Em*
Feet hanging off the dock
C G
And talking everything
Em D
Sharing every little thought
C G
We take a dip in the water
D Em*
As the sun set on down
C G
Ain’t nothing like her wet hair
D
And the crickets sound
[Chorus]
C G D Em*
It’s a glass of wine to keep her sane
C G Em D
And I love the sound of her full name
C G
Natural southern beauty

Can’t explain what it does to me
C G D
She’s everything in my whole world
C G D Em* C G Em D
That’s my forever girl
[V.3]
C G
We ride around in my truck
D Em*
Singing our songs
C G
She’s looking so damn good
Em D
With that sun dress on
C G
She slides on over
D Em*
I hold her tight
C G
And I say darling
D
Thank God that you’re mine
[Chorus]
C G D Em*
It’s a glass of wine to keep her sane
C G Em D
And I love the sound of her full name

Natural southern beauty

Can’t explain what it does to me

She’s everything in my whole world
(solo) C G D Em* C G Em D
That’s my forever girl
