Conway Twitty - She Only Meant To Use Him Chords

[Intro]
Ab
 
[Verse 1]
        Ab
She was young and she was pretty
        Db             Ab
And she met him in the city
        Fm         Eb             Ab
And somehow he fit right into her plan
    Ab
She knew she hit it lucky
   Db               Ab                Fm
He owned half of Kentucky and best of all,
         Eb             Ab
He was a sixty year old man.
 
[Verse 2]
    Ab
She let him think he'd caught her
    Db             Ab
She led him to the alter
Fm           Eb            Ab
Totin' seven carats on her hand
Ab
All dressed up in satin
        Db               Ab
Aw' the good Lord wasted that one
        Fm                Eb            Ab
But she knew she'd be the winner in the end.
 
[Chorus]
           Db
'Cause she only meant to use him
    Ab
She only meant to use him
        Ab                              Eb
And she didn't care if what she did was wrong
    Db
She only meant to use him
        Ab                Fm
And she knew what she was doing
     Ab                 Eb               Ab    Bb
In a few years she'd be rich and he'd be gone.
 
[Verse 3]
         Bb
In their million dollar palace
    Eb               Bb
The man grew old and jealous
       Gm            F                Bb
And he never let her leave the house alone
        Bb
She was in her prime and holding
        Eb               Bb
But she knew that he was old
            Gm               F              Bb
And chances were he wouldn't be around that long.
 
[Verse 4]
       Bb
As the days and nights grew longer
    Eb                Bb
The greed in her grew stronger
       Gm               F                Bb
And it even crossed her mind to take his life
       Bb
But he found out he'd been taken
        Eb              Bb
And his pride was badly shaken
       Gm             F             Bb
And he knew she never meant to be a wife.
 
[Chorus]
           Eb
'Cause she only meant to use him
    Bb
She only meant to use him
        Bb                               F
But she knew just what she wanted in the end
    Eb
She only meant to use him
       Bb                Gm
And he knew what she was doing
       Bb                F              Bb    C
And he swore she'd never have a dime to spend.
 
[Verse 6]
   C
Tormented by frustration
    F                  C
She watched her beauty wasting
       Am                  G        C
As the lines upon her face began to show
    C
She turned to heavy drinkin'
           F               C
'Cause her ship was slowly sinking
        Am             G             C
And the bottle was the only place to go.
 
[Verse 7]
    C
Now 20 odd years later
    F                C
The headlines in the paper
          Am               G        C
Said they laid her soul to rest at 53
              C
And when they wheeled him to her coffin
   F                C
He took her diamond off
            Am                 G        C
And he just smiled and finally died at 93.
 
[Chorus]
         F
Yes, she only meant to use him
     C
Lord knows she meant to use him
        C                             G
But she died with seven carats on her hand
F
All dressed in satin
        C                F
Aw' the good Lord wasted that one
        C              G             F    C
But her husband died a satisfied old man.
 
[Outro]
            C
Yes she was young and she was pretty
        F              C
And she met him in the city
        Am         G              C
And somehow he fit right into her plan
    C
She knew she hit it lucky
   F                C                 Am
He owned half of Kentucky and best of all,
         G              C
He was a sixty year old man...
