Note: Once you get the strum pattern down, try squeezing and releasing the
chords or throwing in a suspended here and there. The cd sounds like its in
A, but I can sing it better in G by substituting A,D,E with G,C,D.
Intro: A(4counts) D(3counts) A(1count) 2 times
[A]Aint nothin so precious as a first born child
[D]
[A]What to call their little angel, they wondered for a while
[A]Your dear mama Violet and your proud daddy Dale
I k[D]now when they named ya they surely meant well, but
Chorus:
[A]Vidalia, Vid[E]alia
[A]Girl won't you tell me why, sweet V[D]idalia[A][E]
You always[D] gotta make me cry.[A]
Short instrumental break (1 x intro)
[A]I never paid no attention to a girl before
[D]
[A]Till the day I saw you standin in the Sunday school door
[A]One boy sort of snickered when the roll was read
Till you laid t[D]he word of God upside of his head
Chorus:
[A]Vidalia, Vid[E]alia
[A]Girl wont you tell me why, sweet V[D]idalia[A][E]
D E...
You always gotta make me... cry
Bridge:
[E]When I try to get too close
[D]Seems like we've always been almost
[A]Just one step or two away from true love[E]
Instrumental break: repeat intro
[A]Well I love the way you walk, I love the way you kiss
I l[D]ove to get away with you alone like this[A]
[A]If I could just mention just one little thing
[D]Vidalia would you stop livin up to your name
Chorus:
[A]Vidalia, Vid[E]alia
[A]Girl wont you tell me why, sweet V[D]idalia[A][E]
You always[D] gotta make me cry.[A]
V[E]idalia
[A]Girl wont you tell me why, sweet V[D]idalia[A][E]
You alwa[D]ys gotta make me cry.[A]
You alwa[D]ys gotta make me cry[A]
You alway[D]s gotta make me cry[A]
