[Intro] E7 A5 Em/G E7 A E7 E7 A5 Em/G E7 A/E A/G E [Verse 1]
E7                     A   E7  F#m/A
I recall once upon a time

E7                            A     E7   F#m/A
Living was so easy and I felt so fine

A   D   A   A  D A           D        D     A D  A
My, my, my,      right before my very eyes

E7                            A
Satan came with fire to burn me

E7                                 F#m/A
Wouldn't listen when they warned me

F#7
Dagger in my back while she's calling me honey

          B7#9                            E7
Wouldn't stand back for neither love nor money
A E E7 A E7 [Verse 2]
E7                               A   E7   F#m/A
Thirty minutes after my ship set sail

E7                                   A     E7  F#m/A
She put up a sign and my house began to wail

A    D     A  A  D   A                  D                 D    A D  A
Why, why, why      I couldn't see it in the little girl's eyes?

E7                           A  E7                        F#m/A
She had such a way to fool me, Lord, she had a way to fool me

    F#7                                                           B7#9
And I would ask the woman, "Can you find it in yourself to please stand back?

                E7
You ain't gonna move me"
A E E7 A E7 [Bridge]
 E7                        D
Just when all began to fade

   D                               D
I reached out and threw the ace of spades

  A7                        G         F#m   E7
I put her on a train to the Everglades
A E7 A E7 x4 [Verse 3]
 E7                        A   E7   F#m/A
Now that it's all over and gone

 E7                          A         E7   F#m/A
Somehow I just don't feel so all alone

A     D    A   D  A D  A                  D           D   A  D  A
But, lie, lie, lie,    it seemed like such a waste of time

    E7                          A
She did not ever seem to know me

E7                               F#m/A
Now it's much too late to show me

    F#7                                                         B7#9
But if I ever see that woman walking down the street, I'll just stand back

 N.C.                  E7
And try to move away slowly

A       E7   A  E7
Oh, yeah
A E7 A E7 A E7 A E7 F#7 B7#9
