[Eb] [Fm]
I went down to the Gogo West I thought I would [Eb] have [C] myself a ball
[F] But if I [Db] owned what was in store for me [Fm] I never would have gone at all
[Ebm] Cause [F] they threw chairs and tiles all over the place
[Fm] I couldn't [G] find [C] no place to hide
[Fm] But every time I [Db] made a break for the door
[Fm] Somebody [C] got me right back [Eb] inside
[E]
[F] [Bb] Staggly was [F] kissing Billy's wife When [C] Billy walked in the door
[F] Staggly caught the flea and [Db] got down on [Abm] his knee And [F] Billy knocked him [C] right dead [F] on the [C] floor
[Eb] [E]
[F] Billy was [Eb] hitting [F] Staggly so hard The cops were scared to [C] speak
The [F] two bouncers standing there They [Db] even turned their heads
[F] Pretending [Bb] like [C] they didn't [Eb] see
[E]
[F] Billy whipped the poor boy [Eb] so long [F] Until he started [C] to look pale
He [F] even gave Staggly [Db] two black eyes [F] And dead [C] in the one way
[Eb] While [E] they [F] threw [Bb] chairs and tiles [Fm] all over the place
I couldn't find [C] no place to hide [Fm] But every time I [Db] made a break for the door
[F] Somebody [C] knocked me right back inside
[Eb] [E]
[F]
[C]
[F] Now [Bbm]
[F] [Fm] [Eb] [E]
[F] when the fight [Cm] was over Oh boy what a mess
[F] Staggly had some [C] broken bones
A [Fm] [Db] lesson from this [F] Best to leave [C] married women alone
While [Fm] they threw chairs and tiles all over [Cm] the place
[Fm] I couldn't find [C] no place to hide [Fm] But every time [Db] I made a break for the [Abm] door
[Fm] Somebody knocked me right [Eb] back inside
[E]
[F] I've never seen the like of him before
The poor boy gained ten pounds and five mils
His head looked like a watermelon's overcoat
And his [Cm] eyes were the size of [F] a missile egg
[Eb]
[F] His mouth looked like a Salvation Army's tent with buckshot holes
Man, man, [Ab] what a [F] mess
[Bb]
