Chords

[Intro] G F E G [Verse 1]
  G           F                               C
I knew a wild woman, she threw a party on her grave

                           Am
She went there tapping her cane and sipping champagne

D
She's a wild woman, and she makes me feel so tame

G                      F
 I can take her in a foot race, but I can't take her anywhere

C                          Am                              D
 She laughs at all the pop stars, and she doesn't even care if they hear her
She's a game of solitaire [Chorus]
Am                  D                    G                 C
Tell 'em that story one more time, Joan, I won't look away

Am                  D                G            C
Let me leave you in laughter, let me go get you a plate

Am                Bm            C                Cm
When I tell you I love you, and you tell me, "Okay"

G                  Em             C       D
I know you believe me, and that's love in your way
[Instrumental] G F E G [Verse 2]
    G             F                                  C
The curse of a wild woman is that she doesn't suffer fools

                       Am                           D
She won't make cups of tea, and she doesn't bandage bruised egos
Or superficial wounds
G                     F                                  C
 But once I was sat beside her, when a fog rolled on the land

                    Am                             D
She spoke in sacred language every soul could understand
And with a broken body, many were healed by her hand [Chorus]
Am                        D                 G             C
Let's go dancing, you can lean on me, Joan, I won't even sway

     Am                     D                G                     C
I'll find you a five-dollar blackjack table, make some dealer's day

    Am                Bm            C                 Cm
And when I tell you I love you, and you tell me, "Okay"

G                  Em             C       D
I know you believe me, and that's love in your way
[Instrumental] G F G F [Bridge]
        C             G
She's a wild (Wild) woman

C                    D     G    Em A7
She's a wild (Wild), wild woman
[Outro]
G              F    C   D
 I knew a wild woman, mm

G             F          C D
 Touched by a wild woman

G              F          C D
 Believed by a wild woman

      G                      F     C
To be known, known by a wild woman

      D
A wild, wild, wild woman
