C F C G C+ F+
[Verse 1]
C+ F+
On a two lane north of casper is where this all begins
C+ G
Heading back to Oklahoma for a week to visit friends
C+ F+
She was walking 'long the highway so I pulled off to the side
Am C/B C Fmaj7 G
And asked her if she needed a ride
C F+
We tore up that ole blacktop 'til we found I-25
C G
And just into Colorado she asked if she could drive
C F+
I'd never met nobody like her. I'd never laughed so much
Am C/B C Fmaj7 G
And I grew hungry for her touch
[Chorus]
Fmaj7
I used to think of autumn
C
As sweaters and leaves
G/B
And I used to think the night
C
Was just for dreamers and thieves
Fmaj7 Am C
But that was before she came
Am C/B C Fmaj7 G
Allison Miranda was her name
Repeat Intro
[Verse 2]
C Fmaj7
By the time that we hit Kansas we both felt pretty beat
C G
So we found ourselves a motel and we grabbed a bite to eat
C Fmaj7
We'd rest a few short hours; soon we'd be out of there
Am C/B C Fmaj7 G
Three days later we came up for air
[Chorus]
Fmaj7
I used to think of autumn
C
As sweaters and leaves
G/B
And I used to think the night
C
Was just for dreamers and thieves
Fmaj7 Am C
But that was before she came
Am C/B C Fmaj7 G
Allison Miranda was her name

[Verse 3]
C F+
Now I can't forget the morning when I woke alone in bed
C G
To a rose left on her pillow and a good-bye note that read
C Fmaj7
You cannot grow a flower if you do not have the seed
Am C/B C Fmaj7 G
Now I've got everything I need
[Chorus]
Fmaj7
I used to think of autumn
C
As sweaters and leaves
G/B
And I used to think the night
C
Was just for dreamers and thieves
Fmaj7 Am C
But that was before she came
Am C/B C Fmaj7 G
Allison Miranda was her name
