Emily worked at the diamond store

She wanted all the rings that she couldn't afford

One long day, A tall man came

F/C

Asked her to marry him and he bought her a ring

He whisked her off to the seven sea's

Wined and dined her till she could barely see

One long night, The tall man came home

F/C

To find Emily in bed with the hotel boy

Am Em

Oh Emily, What have you done

It's all come undone

F/C

Tell me who lost and who won

Caught in bed with another man's girl

Not just screwin' they were kissing as they moaned

One long knife, The tall man drew

F/C

And he stuck the hotel boy cold right through

Cop's came along and Emily wept

As they took away all of her fancy things

One long lie, The tall man heard

F/C

So he took back the ring before they took him to jail

Am Em

Oh Emily, What have you done

It's all come undone

F/C

Tell me who lost and who won

Am Em

Oh Emily, What have you done

Tell me who lost and who won

F/C

It's all come undone

Oh Emily
