[Verse 1]
D
I met him in Seattle, bellied up to a bottle
G D
Tellng lies in the Blue Moon Bar
D
His face was hard and traveled and as the lines unraveled
G A D
I saw a man who could laugh about his scars
[Chorus 1]
D
He said I got shanghaied in Vegas by a painted woman
A
I got hog-tied by a hooker in Ohio
D G
I got derailed by a dancer down in Dallas
D A D
He said, women gonna be the death of me, but what a way to go
[Verse 2]
D
He said a girl named Nancy once tickled his fancy
G D
And backed it up with a hundred dollar smile
D
He laughed about that Madam Rue, she was into Voodoo
G A D
A little weird but she always drove him wild
[Chorus 2]
D
He said I got tongue-tied by a teacher in Tallahassee
A
I got french-fried by a waitress in Idaho
D G
I got way-laid by a widow in Wyoming
D A D
He said, women gonna be the death of me, but what a way to go
[Chorus 1]
D
He said I got shanghaied in Vegas by a painted woman
A
I got hog-tied by a hooker in Ohio
D G
I got derailed by a dancer down in Dallas
D A D
He said, women gonna be the death of me, but what a way to go
D A D
He said, women gonna be the death of me, but what a way to go
