Chord/Tab song: Crime Of Passion

By Ricky Van Shelton

[Riff]
[F] [F][A#]
She had a rag-top Eldorado, "tuck-in-row pleat".
[F] [A#][F]
She picked me up in Colorado...and put me right in the drivers seat.
I said "I got no money...you know I got no job".
She said "I tell you what honey...let's find a place to rob".

[A#] [A#][D#]
Now the man at the station's name was Jim...I saw it sewed on his shirt.
I told him "do what I say...you'll live another day...nobody's gotta get
[A#][B][C]
hurt".
[Chorus]
[F]
It was a crime of passion. [F][A#]
She took me by the heart when she took me by the hand.
[F]
Crime of passion. [A#][F]
A beautiful woman and a desperate man.
[Riff (2nd half)]
Well I thought the thing was over...she was countin' the cash.
When an unmarked Chevy Nova, made the blue lights flash.
She said "officer? Would you help me please?"
I looked at her...and she was pointin' at me.

You see Jim at the station played his part...he talked a little perjury.
He went to great pains...to leave out a name...he was a future ex-husband
...can't you see?
[Chorus]
[Riff (whole)]
Now the cop at the station's name was Joe...saw it on his badge on his shirt.
He said "you'll never get away...just do what we say...nobody's gotta get hurt."
[Chorus]
Crime of passion...
[Riff (whole)]
It was a crime of passion...(done over riff)
[Riff ad nauseum]
