What a Way to Go - Dr. Hook Drop-D tuning, acoustic, slower than the original [Verse]
D
I met him in Seattle,

G                        D
He was getting down on a bottle,

D            A     G          D
Tellin’ lies in the Blue Moon Bar

D
His face was hard and traveled

G
And as the lines unraveled 

D                    A      G         D
I saw a man who could laugh about his scars
[Chorus]
D
He said, I got shanghaied in Vegas by a painted lady

                            A
Hog tied by a hustler in Ohio

D                            G
Derailed by a dancer down in Dallas Oh Lord, he said

D
Women gonna be the death of me 

     A     G     D
But what a way to go
[Verse]
D
He said a girl named Nancy

G                D
Once tickled his fancy

D                       A     G      D
And backed it up with a fifty dollar smile

D
He laughed when he remembered

G                    D
The pain of sweet surrender

D                   A         G         D
But heartache never seemed to cramp his style
[Chorus]
              D
He said I got tongue tied by a teacher in Tallahassee

      D                                A
I got French fried by a waitress in Idaho

      D                     G
I got waylaid by a widow in Wyoming oh lord he said

D                
Women gonna be the death of me 

    A      G      D
But what a way to go
[Chorus]
D
He said, I got shanghaied in Vegas by a painted lady

      D                     G
I got waylaid by a widow in Wyoming oh lord he said

D                
Women gonna be the death of me 

    A      G      D
But what a way to go

    A      G      D
But what a way to go
