Ol' rooster in the dooryard

C
You left me standin' in the corner

        D7
With my head so hangin' down

G
Punch-drunk, busted up and reelin'

             C
Like a rodeo clown

C
You always seem to hit me

       D7
Like a lightnin' from above

G
I guess I just wasn't ready for

                    C
Such a heavy-handed love.
