Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I m[C]et [G]him[C] in S[G]eattle,
[Gm]he w[G]as getti[C]ng down on a bottl[G]e
[C]Telling lies in the Blue Moon [G]Bar
His face was hard and travelled,
[Gm]and [G]as the w[C]ine unraveled
[G]I s[C]aw a man who could lau[D]gh
about his scars
[G]

[Verse 2]
He said, I got [Gm]shanghaied in
[G]Vegas by a painted woman
I got [Gm]hog- tied [G]by a hustler [D]in Ohio
I got [Gm]derailed by a [G]dancer down in Dal[C]las
[F]Oh Lor[C]d, he said,
[Gm]women gonna be [G]the death of [D]me
But what a way to go
[G][Gm]

[Verse 3]
[G]He said a girl named Nancy
[Gm]once[G] tickl[C]ed his fancy[G]
And [C]backed it up with a 50 dollar [G]smile
He laughed when he re[Gm]membered,
[G]the[C] pain of sweet surren[G]der
But [C]heartaches never [D]seemed
to cramp his style
[G][Em]

[Verse 4]
[G]
He said, I got [Gm]tongue- tied [C]by
a [Gm]teacher in [G]Tallahassee
I got [Gm]french- fried by a waitress in [G]Idaho[D]
I got [G]way- [Gm]laid [G]by a [Gm]widow in [C]Wyoming
[F]Oh Lor[C]d, he said,
[Gm]women gonna be the death [G]of me
[D]But what a way to go
