[Verse 1]
For [G]months and months [C]and months

Though everybody tried
[D]with all their mig[G]ht

[Verse 2]
She [G]stayed awake while [C]steel
guitars were a [G]go ing
In [C]every honky tonk she could be [G]seen
But she [C]fi nally went to bed

And now there's not a thing
can wake [D]Irene

Tried to get [D]Irene to hit the hay
[G]

[Verse 5]
Well I guess they finally [C]sang
her off [G]to slumber
They [C]must have tried

You ought [D]to hear that women snore
[G]
