[ Good As She Could Be von John Hiatt ]


 

**Capo On Second Fret

Intro:  Repeat: D Dsus4

D               G
Well she was a millionaire
  D                A
Before she was fourteen
D                G
But there was an emptiness there
        D                    A
That to practically everyone else could be seen
D                 G
She hit up on the drug of love
             D                  A
Though there was no hole in her arm
D           G
There was a hole some place else
         D                  A
About as big as daddy's 10.000 acre farm


Chorus:
G           A
Oh, she was dying for it
D                    G
For all the world to see
G              A                 D
Ah, she was as good as she could be


**Intro


D               G
Well she had a baby at eighteen
  D                A
Never finished high school
D                G
Her husband beat her for money and sex
        D                    A
Till that Cadillac finally ran out of fuel, One disaster led to another
D                 G
Down to her and her baby son
             D                  A
Born with a silver spoon in her mouth
D           G
Headed south now
         D                  A
Cause she was never born to run



**Chorus (2x)
G           A
Yeah, she was crying for it
D               G
Some credibility
G              A             D
Ah, she was good as she could be


D               G
Well her Momma died last year
  D                A
And her daddy he called her back home
D                G
But when he opened the door
        D                    A
He could not recognize this spectre of hair and bone
D                 G
But it was his own baby child
             D                  A
Though she looked like an old woman now
D                   G
Well she lived ten lifetimes in five years
         D                  A
Anywhere that the law would allow



**Chorus (2x)
G           A
Yeah, she was crying for it
D               G
Some credibility
G              A               D
Ah, she was good as she could be
G             A               D
Yeah, she was good as she could be
G              A               D
Ah, she was good as she could be
