[Intro] D [Verse 1]
D                        G                    D
I once had a sweetheart the fairest of maidens

D                         E7                A7
She outshined all others that I'd known by far

D                          G                    D
I had me a friend big fella Named Big Harlan Taylor

D                         A7         D
Harlan had a rubber tired new shiny car
[Chorus]
G                    D              A          D
All the ways of the world and the wants of a woman

G                    D             A7          D
If I figured them all up it could take many years
D A D [Verse 2]
D                        G                    D
By the wants of a woman she fell for Big Harlan

D                         E7                A7
I tried but in vain for to take my own life

D                          G                    D
Suddenly I had lost all my will to keep living

D                         A7         D
She'd lost her desire to become my young wife
[Chorus]
G                    D              A          D
All the ways of the world and the wants of a woman

G                    D             A7          D
If I figured them all up it could take many years
D A D [Verse 3]
D                        G                    D
Well I wanted revenge and way laid for Big Harlan

D                         E7                A7
Then I started wondering what good would it do

D                       G                    D
If a rubber tired new shiny car's her ambition

D                         A7         D
And I just let her have it and Big Harlan too
[Chorus]
G                    D              A          D
All the ways of the world and the wants of a woman

G                    D             A7          D
If I figured them all up it could take many years

G                    D             A7          D
If I figured them all up 'twould take many years
