A Different Kind Of Flower

| A | A7 | A7 | D | D |

[Verse 1]
D
She came down from Boston to be closer to her mother
       G                             D
And to try a little taste of country life
            A7
She was her mother's only daughter from a good school
                                                             D
Where they taught her how to walk and talk and fold a napkin right


[Verse 2]
D
I was boots and Levis born for driving cows and planting corn
                                     G
And anything that sparkled caught my eye
          A                 A7
She was a different kind of flower nothing like my country clover
                                     D
But I figured I could touch her if I tried


[Chorus]
  G             A7                 D                G
I only meant to touch her just one time and let her go
    D                G                      Em   A7
But touching her was loving her and how was I to know
           G              A7               D                 G
That she'd be the kind of flower calloused hands would never hold
            A7                                             D
While I was reaching for her body, she was reaching for my soul

[Verse 3]
D
She went back to Boston my soul is all it cost me
        G                              D
Just to touch her now I wish I'd never tried
          A         A7
She was a different kind of flower and after having known her
                                       D
I just can't keep country clover on my mind


[Chorus]
  G             A7                 D                G
I only meant to touch her just one time and let her go
    D                G                      Em   A7
But touching her was loving her and how was I to know
           G              A7               D                 G
That she'd be the kind of flower calloused hands would never hold
            A7                                             D
While I was reaching for her body, she was reaching for my soul
