N.C.        A*    A*     A* A         D
Oh, you poor broke mixed-up mess of a heart

          A                                      E7
You let a little bitty woman gonna tear you all apart

I warned you a thousand times

But you wouldn't listen nor pay me no mind

You poor broke mixed-up mess of a heart
[Verse]
A                                     D
Yeah, I watched her buy her ticket in Charlotte, North Carolina

      A                                   E7
And I heard her say, "One-way, please, to Denver"

      A
She's going to meet that other guy

   D
It won't do us no good to cry

       A             E               A
'Cause she's wearing his ring on her finger
[Chorus]
N.C.        A*    A*     A* A         D
Oh, you poor broke mixed-up mess of a heart

          A                                      E7
You let a little bitty woman gonna tear you all apart

  A
I warned you a thousand times

    D
But you wouldn't listen nor pay me no mind

    A          E7                 A
You poor broke mixed-up mess of a heart
[Guitar Solo] A D A E7 [Piano Solo] A D A E A [Verse 2]
A
Well, I watched her tip the porter

       D
As she stepped aboard that midnight train

A                             E7
Bound to take her far away forever

  A
I watched the taillight fade away

D
Knowing she was gonna stray

      A                E                 A
And I wish this broken heart was leaving with her
[Out-Chorus]
N.C.        A*    A*     A* A         D
Oh, you poor broke mixed-up mess of a heart

          A                                      E7
You let a little bitty woman gonna tear you all apart

  A
I warned you a thousand times

    D
But you wouldn't listen nor pay me no mind

    A          E                  A
You poor broke mixed-up mess of a heart

               E                  A
You poor broke mixed-up mess of a heart
