Drive-By Truckers – Wife Beater (Guitar)

G
You met him at the dance hall

    D  
You only saw his charms

    C                                 G
You said he really swept you off your feet

    D
and jealousy enraged

   C                             G
He knocked out two of your front teeth

G                   D
so you came over to hide out at my place

C                                          G
I guess I should have killed him there and then

G
but you begged me not to

D
now you say he’s changed

    C                       G
and you’re gonna go back to him

G                             D
Don’t give me that bull about how it’s for the children

C                                G
A man like that could never be a dad

G
What happens when he kills you?

D
What will they do then?

C                                   G
Sometimes you ought to ask yourself that

C                           G
Don’t go back to him he’s a wife beater

     D                        G
You’d be better off with this potato eater

C                           G    Em
You say he’s changed, don’t be a fool

G                    D        G 
A man like that’s no good for you

G                    D        G
A man like that’s no good for you
