[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
