************* 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.

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...!
THE TAKER. ---------- by Kris Kristofferson and Shel Silverstein.
He's a giver, he'll give her the kind of attention that she's never known He's a helper, he'll help her to open the doors that she can't on her own He's a lover, he'll love her in ways that she never has been loved before And he's a getter, he'll get her by gettin her into the world she's been hungerin' for
And he's a taker, he'll take her to places and make her fly higher than she's ever dared to He'll take his time before takin' advantage takin' her easy and slow And after he's taken her body and soul that she gives him, he'll take her for granted Then he'll take off and leave her takin' all of her pride as he goes
He's a charmer, and he'll charm her with money and manners that I never learned He's a leader, and he'll lead her across pretty bridges he's planning to burn He's a talker, he'll talk her right of of her feet, but he won't talk for long Cause he's a doer, and he'll do her the way that I never And damned if he won't do her wrong
