Intro E F G Verse
G               C                    G              D

  G                   C                G              D
A stranger could have loved that town, but she had to leave
Chorus
  Am                 D          Am             D
I wish I'd gotten to know her before I fell in love

        G                   Am
I could say who's to blame, say who's the man in this

F          D
cautionary tale

      G                          Am

Til kitten's out of jail
Verse It was like a TV show, the way she stole that car Easy now to criticize, easy now to talk Chorus I thought my luck was changing, I guess I was wrong I could say who's to blame, say who's the man in this cautionary tale But I swore I'd be true and I'll swear and I'll swear Til kitten's out of jail Bridge
Em     F    C       G
Didn't want to be a slave

just turned out that way
(Organ solo:listen for the rythm) G Am F D G Am F D Chorus I thought my luck was changing, I guess I was wrong I could say she's to blame, say she's the man in this cautionary tale But I swore I'd be true and I'll swear and I'll swear Til kitten's out of jail Outro G Am F D (Repeat this A couple times, then end on G)
