[D]I met him in Seattle, bellied up to a bottle
[G]Tellng lies in the Blue Moon [D]Bar
[D]His face was hard and traveled and as the lines unraveled,
[G]I saw a man who could la[A]ugh about his sc[D]ars
Chorus #1
[D]He said I got Shanghied in Vegas by a painted woman
I got hog-tied by a red-head in Ohi[A]o
I got de[D]railed by a dancer down in [G]Dallas
He said,[D] women gonna be the death a me, [A]but what a way to go[D]
[D]He said a girl named Nancy once tickled his fancy
[G]And backed it up with a hundred dollar s[D]mile
[D]He laughed about that Madam Rue, she was into Voodoo
A little[G] weird but she a[A]lways drove him [D]wild
[D]He said I got tongue-tied by a teacher in Talahassee
[D]I got french-fried by a waitress in Ida[A]ho
I got wa[D]y-layed by a widow in Wy[G]oming
He said,[D] women gonna be the death a me, [A]but what a way to [D]go
1st chorus
