************* THE TAKER *************
written by Kris Kristofferson & Shel Shilverstein
performed by Kris Kristofferson.
Capo on the 1st fret.
Verse 1:
A
He's a giver,he'll give her
E7
The kind of attention that she's never known
He's a helper,he'll help her
A
To open the doors that she can't on her own
He's a lover,he'll love her
D
In ways that she never has been loved before
E7
And he's a getter,he'll get her
A
By gettin' her into the world she's been hungerin' for
Verse 2:
A
He's a charmer,and he'll charm her
E7
With money and manners that i never learned
He's a leader,and he'll lead her
A
Across pretty bridges he's planning to burn
He's a talker,he'll talk her
D
Right of her feet,but he won't talk for long
E7
Cause he's a doer,and he'll do her
The way that i never
A
And damned if he won't do her wrong
Chorus:
D
And he's s taker,he'll take her
E7
To places and make her fly higher than she's ever dared to
He'll take this time before takin' advantage
A
Takin' her easy and slow
D
And after he's taken her body and soul
E7
That she gives him,he'll take her for granted
Then he'll take off and leave her
A
Takin' all of her pride as he goes
Chorus.
Thanks to Jan Ekeland for the lyrics.

Some time ago a fellow somewhere in eastern Europe (I think) asked
for the lyrics to 'The Taker' by Kris Kristofferson, and in my online
written reply to him there were two or three minor faults. It didn't
occur to me at that time that he would copy it onto Nevada...:-)
Here is the corrected version... I guess you can delete these words
and repace the former version of the taker with this one. Thanks...!
