Whim Of Iron

G
She had a whim of iron
                      D
You couldn’t tell her no

And if you did, she’d prove you wrong
                     G
And say – I told you so!
                C
She’d get a big idea
                         G
Friends would roll their eyes
                    D
Then she’d pull it off
                                    G
When on one else would even dare to try

G
She had a whim of iron
                  D
Like the time she met

This broke down poet
                       G
He was a World War Two vet
              C
One day he proposed
                 G
And she said – I do!
               D
To this gentle soul
                                G
And she didn’t care that he was 92
                         C
She tried to buy the old church
                     G
Before they tore it down
           D
Took up a collection
          G
All over town
                    C
She raised a half a million
                G
Fixed it up so nice
            D
Now there’s actors
     D
And dancers
    D
And singers
                                G
Where there used to be bats and mice

G
She ran for office once
                D
In the state of Maine

She said – I’ll bet I can’t do worse
                    G
Than old what’s his name!
                 C
She shook things up
              G
For a little while
                           D
Told the good old boys off good
                  G
With a wink and a smile

G
She had a whim of iron
                      D
You couldn’t tell her no

And if you did, she’d prove you wrong
                     G
And say – I told you so!
                C
She’d get a big idea
                         G
Friends would roll their eyes
                    D
Then she’d pull it off
                                    G
When on one else would even dare to try
G
She had a whim of iron
G
You couldn’t tell her no
G
