[Am] [D] I met him in Seattle, bellied up to a bottle, [G] telling lies in the blue [D] moon ball.
His face was hard and traveled, and as the lines [G] unraveled, I saw [A] a man who could laugh
about his scars.
He said I got shanghaied in Vegas by a painted woman, hogtied by a hooker in Ohio.
[A] [Am] [D] I got derailed by a dancer down in Dollar.
He said women gonna beat the death of me, [A] but what a [D] way to go.
He said a girl named Nancy once tickled his fancy [G] and backed it up with a hundred dollar [D] smile.
He laughed about that Madame Rue.
She was into voodoo, [G] a little weird, but she always drove him [D] wild.
He [C] said I [D] got tongue tied by a teacher in Tallahassee.
I got french fried by a waitress in [A] Idaho.
[Am] [D] I got waylaid by a widow [G] in Wyoming.
[D] Women gonna be the death of me.
[A] What a way [D] to go.
[A] He [D] said I got shanghaied in Vegas by a painted woman.
[Dm] [D] Hog tied by a hooker in [A] Ohio.
[Am] I [D] got derailed by a dancer down in Dallas.
[G] [D] He said women gonna be the death of [A] me.
But what [D] a way to go.
He said women gonna be the death of me.
[A] But [D] what a way to go.
[Am] [D]
