[Intro]
C F C G C

C F
She was a waitress in a west Texas dance hall.
C G C
I was a cowboy with a throat full of sand.
C F
I called her, "Honey," when she brought my whiskey,
C G C
And later I left there holding her hand.
C F
Then we walked down the street to a tumble-down hotel,
C G C
Where she had a room on a cold second floor.
C F
And that room looked like hell just a bed and a table,
C G C
A shade on the window and a lock on the door.

G F
I said to myself, "She's cheap and she's easy,
C G
But she don't look half bad, I'll stay for the night.
C F
But I'll leave when it's early cause I've got this feeling,
C G C
She won't look so good in the bright morning light."

C F
Yeah, I've known some devils and I've known some angels,
C G C
I once had a woman on the Mexico line.
C F
But I've never been touched like that woman touched me,
C G C A
She lay there beside me and crawled in my mind.
D G
And we talked and we smoked and made love till mornin',
D A D
The sun came a streamin' through a hole in the shade.
D G
And it fell like a spotlight on her face and her body,
D A D
And it hung like a halo 'round the bed where we lay.

A G
I said to myself, "She's cheap and she's easy,
D A
But she don't look half bad, I guess I'll stay for the night.
D G
But I'll tell you boys that was five years ago, an', Lord, God, what a woman!
D A D
She still looks as good in the bright morning light
