Tom: D D I met him in Seattle, belly?d up to a bottle G D Tellin? 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 Refrão ------------- D He said I got shanghaied in Vegas by a painted woman A I got hogtied 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? -------------------- He said a girl named Nancy once tickled his fancy And backed it up with a hundred dollar smile He laughed about that Madam Rouex, she was into voodoo A little weird but she always drove him wild Chorus 2: He said I got tongue tied by a teacher in Tallahassee I got French fried by a waitress in Idaho I got waylayed by a widow in Wyoming He said ?Women gonna be the death of me but what a way to go? Repeat Chorus 1
