[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]

[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
