What a Way to Go Dr. Hook late 70’s

E
I met him in Seattle,

A
He was getting down on a bottle,

E         B7                  E
Tellin’ lies in the Blue Moon Bar

E
His face was hard and traveled

A
And as the lines unraveled 

E                    B7               E
I saw a man who could laugh about his scars

Chorus:

E
He said, I got shanghaied in Vegas by a painted lady

                            B7
Hog tied by a hustler in Ohio

E                            A
Derailed by a dancer down in Dallas Oh Lord, he said

E
Women gonna be the death of me 

     B7          E
But what a way to go

(Repeat Chords on next verse) He said a girl named Nancy Once tickled his fancy And backed it up with a fifty dollar smile He laughed when he remembered The pain of sweet surrender But heartache never seemed to cramp his style Chorus 2: He said I got tongue tied by a teacher in Tallahassee I got French fried by a waitress in Idaho I got waylaid by a widow in Wyoming oh lord he said Women gonna be the death of me But what a way to go Chorus 1 Chorus 2 ===
