  D         A    G          D

  I found a woman I felt I truly loved

  D             A   G               D

  She was everything I'd ever been dreaming of

  D                A                  G                  D

  But she was bad - I didn't know it   Her pretty smile never did show it

  D               A               G               D

  All I knew was what I could see   And I knew I wanted her for me

  

                          single notes

  Bm                 G   (G G G  A  Bb)   Bm

  I took her home to Mama

                               G     (G G G  A  Bb)   Bm

  Mama wanted to see my future bride

                      G    A

  Oh she looked at us both  And then she called me to her side, she said "Son,

  D            A         G              D

  Take time to know her     It's not an overnight thing

  D             A        G               D

  Take time to know her     Please don't rush into this thing."

  

  

  D                      A     G                          D

  But I didn't listen to Mama     I went straight to the church

  D                                     A

  I just couldn't wait to have a little girl of mine

  G          D

  When I got home from work

  D                       A

  The preacher was there     So was my future bride

  G                               D

  He looked at us both and the he called me to his side, he said "Son,

  D            A         G              D

  take time to know her     It's not an overnight thing

  D             A        G               D

  Take time to know her     Please don't rush into this thing."

  

  (spoken):

  D                                        A

  Well it looked like everything was gonna turn out alright

  G                             D

  And then I came home a little early one night

  (sung):

  D                 A

  And there she was kissing on another man

  G                                   D

  Now I know what Mama meant when she took me by the hand and said "Son,

  D            A         G              D

  take time to know her     It's not an overnight thing

  D             A        G               D

  Take time to know her     Please don't rush into this thing."

  

  D            A                   G              D

  Take time to know her            It's not an overnight thing

  (take        time, take a little time son       ooohhh)

  D            A                   G              D

  Take time to know her     Please don't          rush into this thing."

  (take        time, take a little time son       ooohhh)

  

  (repeat & fade)
