D         G     C D
She was a woman

D        G    C D
sawed in half

D      G       C D
It was done by

D       G      C D
a bad magician

D           G        C      D
There was a point at which

D               G     C D
she just had to laugh

D              G      C D
You could appreciate

D     G      C D
her position

D           G       C D
Her legs in one way

D               G    C D
and her head another

D             G        C     D
She just kept thinking about

D       G    C D
walking away

D             G       C       D
They tried to put her back together

D              G     C D
underneath the cover

D       G          C         D
But her heart kept getting in,

D              G    C D
getting in the way
[Chorus]
D   A   G       D
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

D   Dsus2   G       D
Ya, ya,     ya, ya, ya

D   A   G       D
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

D   Dsus2   G       D
Ya, ya,     ya, ya, ya
[Verse 2]
D         G     C D
She was a woman

D        G    C D
sawed in half

D                G      C D
Let's cut to the chase,

D                   G    C D
love, this was show time

D          G        C       D
And he was sweating bullets

D              G     C D
and walking on glass

D                 G               C D
Somewhere between the evening news

D              G        C D
and tomorrow's headline     Buzz awhile
[Solo] G C D G C D G C D G C D [Verse 3]
D         G     C D
She was a woman

D        G    C D
sawed in half

D      G       C D
It was done by

D       G      C D
a bad magician

D             G           C D
Yeah, it was a clear cut thing,

D              G        C D
no, you didn't have to ask

D       G          C  D
She was gonna have to make

D       G      C D
her own decisions

D            G      C      D
Her legs got up and walked away

D                 G      C D
and her head came rolling

D                G       C     D
Oh, the room was painted black light

D                    G   C     D
and, and turning the day glow

D               G          C  D
She wound up in two places at once,

D             G       C D
her heart was swollen

D             G       C    D
He played his musical saw

D                 G         C D
in the streets of San Diego
[Chorus]
D   A   G       D
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

D   Dsus2   G       D
Ya, ya,     ya, ya, ya

D   A   G       D
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

D   Dsus2   G       D
Ya, ya,     ya, ya, ya
[Verse 4]
          G     C        D
She was a woman sawed in half,

            G      C D
her legs in Tijuana

          G         C       D
She was a bodiless head and trapeze artist

               G      C D
in a circus in Bombay

      G             C  D                      G    C D
Now a woman's gonna do exactly what a woman's gonna

G     C        D                              G     C   D
Yeah, some bad magicians wouldn't have it any other way

          G     C       D                             G     C    D
She holds on to that trapeze by the skin of her teeth or so they say

G C D
