Finer Things In Life
Recorded by Red Steagall
Written by Jim Weatherly

C                          G7
She was born and raised in Natchez 
    F             G7              C
The daughter of a wealthy Natchez man 
                       G7
She never wanted for a thing in life
         Am           D7               G7
That her folks didn't lay right in her hands 

    C
She drove the finest cars 
F                        C    E7 Am G#
Lived in a eight bedroom home
        C           G7
She was used to the finer things 
   F                C
In life till I came along
 
                         G7
I was born and raised in Memphis
     F       G7            C
Grew up in a rundown river shack
                     G7
Never owned anything more than 
    Am      D7            G7
The clothes hanging on my back
 
        C
But the first time that she touched me 
F                                C    E7 Am G#
Wiped out all the hard times I'd known
        C              G7
I never knew about the finer things 
   F                  C
In life till she came along
 
         G7
She's as soft as a whisper 
F                            C
Gentle as the snow is on the toe
        G7
And the sound of her laughter 
F                           C
Flows like the river to the dry 
          F            G7
And dusty desert of my soul
 
    C
Her folks they never liked me 
      F                G7           C
Cause all that I could offer her is love
                    G7
Can't buy her fancy clothes 
         Am       D7               G7
Give her cars and vacations on the go 
 
    C
But all she's ever wanted 
      F                         C    E7 Am G#
Was a poor little boy from Tennessee 
        C               G7
Now the lady thinks the finest things 
   F              C
In life is lovin' me
 
                        G7
Yes the lady thinks the finest thing 
   F              C
In life is lovin' me
