This version of the song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQAZtuYu73E
Chords used: E, A7, B7. There'll be some subtle variations on each chord. Give the song a
good listen to figure them out, mainly on the E.
E
I gave my woman half my money at the general store I said, "Now buy a little
B7 E
groceries, and don't spend no more." But she paid ten dollars for a ten cent hat
A7 B7 E
And bought some store bought cat food for that mean eyed cat.
E
When I woke up this mornin' and I turned my head There wasn't a cotton pickin'
B7 E
thing on her side of the bed I found a little old note where her head belonged
A7 B7 E
It said, "Dear John, honey, baby, I'm long gone."
A7 E
When I heard a whistle blowin', and the big wheels a-turnin' I was scared as I could be
E A7 B7 E
I put on my overalls and I headed to town Gonna bring her back with me.
E
I asked the man down at the station if he had seen her there I told him all about
B7 E
her pretty eyes and long, blonde hair He spit his tobacco, said, "I'll be dad
A7 B7 E
blamed...... I b'lieve I did see her leavin' on the east bound train."
A7 E
I bought a round trip ticket on the east bound train I was broke as I could be
A7 B7 E
But when I come back, I gotta buy another ticket, gonna bring her back with me.
E
Well, I got off the train somewhere in Arkansas And I worked up the guts to call
B7 E
my Mother-In-Law She said, "I'll tell you where she is, if you act right."
A7 B7 E
"She's workin' four to twelve at Trucker's World tonight."
A7 E
Wwll, when I walked in she saw me, and she took off her apron And she grabbed her
A7
goin' home hat She bought a ticket with her tips and now we're curled up on the sofa,
B7 E
me and her and that mean eyed cat
