Bm From southern Tallahassee C G And her daddy had the Kennedy hair G She graduated Vandy Bm Old money and a hand-me-down C D G Country club sorority flair Em Woulda been a good wife D Woulda been a good life C G Couple kids in some khaki shorts Em She started talking 'bout marriage D And I knew 3 carats C D G Wouldn't shine in my rusty old ford [Chorus] G Here's to all my near Mrs. Bm Give them all my best wishes C And close call kisses that never came through D Thank God I didn't ever say I do G Here's to all the lost chances Bm Last call romances C G 'Cause if those near Mrs. had ever come through C D G I would've missed out on you
[Instrumental] G Bm C G .................. [Verse] G She was sweet, she was mean Bm C G From New Orleans, she tried to put me in her voodoo spell G A wildfire raging Bm A French Quarter cajun C D G And her brother did some time in jail Em D Now LA was pretty and New York was witty and C G Chicago got too cold for me Em I went all around the world D For a marrying girl C D G All the while she was in Tennessee [Chorus] G Here's to all my near Mrs. Bm Give them all my best wishes C And close call kisses that never came through D Thank God I didn't ever say I do G Here's to all the lost chances Bm Last call romances C G 'Cause if those near Mrs. had ever come through C D G I would've missed out on you [Guitar Solo] G Bm C G ..................
