[Verse 1]
E7 A7 Well I'm lookin' for my woman, she slapped me in the face E7 She walked out on me, running towards that big rat race A D7 D E7 I've searched a dozen places trying to find the one she'd choose B7 B E* D* A* G* E7 A7* A#7* B7* It's a quarter past eleven, Lord, and I've got the twelve bar blues
[Verse 2]
E7 A7 Well I should be home a-thinkin', with my phone book and my chair E7 Let my fingers do the drinkin' call and ask if she's been there A7 A* D7* E7 It would have saved me 30 dollars, Lord, saved the soles on my new shoes B7 B E* D* A* G* E7 A7* A#7* B7* Saved a half a pound of Tylenol and a gauge of the twelve bar blues
