Title: For Herself Performer: Reba McEntire Album: It's Your Call Writers: Reba McEntire, Shawn Harrington-Burkhart, Liz Hengber Key D: Chords: D Dsus2 Em F#m G Gm A Bm Intro: D / G / D / G / D Dsus2 A G Uncle Slim had let her know she couldn't ride that horse. D Dsus2 G (G) He was the one that was only meant for men. Gm Em She waited around till way after dark, G D Rode that horse with all her heart. D A And in the night how she rode. Chorus: G D F#m G Somehow she always knew she had the strength inside. Em D A (A) And even if she fell, she'd survive. G D In spite of all the tears she may cry, G D This is how she has to live her life. G A D (D) As hard as it may be she has to find out for herself. D Dsus2 A G Mama and daddy told her from the start he was no good. D Dsus2 G (G) They'd seen how he treated the other girls. Gm Em She waited around till the sun went down, G D Slipped out the house not makin' a sound. D A And in the night oh how they drove. ** Repeat Chorus ** G F#m Bm G It was fifteen years to the day he became a stranger in her eyes Em D In the coldest words of anger G A He said without me you won't survive. D Dsus2 A G There's a suitcase in the closet she had packed six months ago. D Dsus2 G (G) She don't leave a note that's not her style. Gm Em So she waited around till way after dark, G D Left that man who broke her heart. D A Now she's gone, oh she's gone. ** Repeat Chorus to end. Reba shares writing credit for this song!
