Capo 4
[Intro]
G G C G G C
G G C D C
[Verse 1]
G C
Well I went down the road, take me back to my honey
G D
I spent my time, made my money and now I'm pointing this ship home
G C
But I'll keep your secrets here, some shack in California
G D C#
I'm shutting my mouth but gotta warn you, everybody knows
C C C Fmaj7 C
C C C Fmaj7 C
[Verse 2]
G C
'Cause you've been out all night, always talking at the wrong time
G D
The barroom and the busted lamp light keep you company
G C
And it's there you speak her name and give in to the lips of strangers
G D C#
But poor boy, you'll never tame her, she knows your talk is cheap
C C C Fmaj7 C
C C C Fmaj7 C
[Chorus]
G A7
And by the time that you go get her, by the time that you feel better
G C C Fmaj7 C
By the time that you realize the new you is a drag
G C D G
She'll be rolling in new love and you'll be rolling on the exile rag
[Verse 3]
G C
So Shotgun Annie, come, look down your barrel at me
G D
Take your time, feel free to have me dying or alive.
G C
'Cause I couldn't stand to walk wild streets in New York freezing
G D C#
Looking for a love that pleasing to waltz into my life.
C C C Fmaj7 C
C C C Fmaj7 C
[Chorus]
G A7
But by the time that her door's closing and you feel like you're imposing
G C
on that brand new boyfriend she has.
G C D G
She'll be rolling in new love and you'll be singing on the exile rag.
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 4]
G C
Well the ghost here ain't so bad, but I swear she talks just like you
G D
Shows her teeth and walks just like you do in the middle of the night.
G C
Knee-high boots and bells, she does a turn-round for me.
G D C#
Holds me close but then ignores me underneath the light.
C C C Fmaj7 C
C C C Fmaj7 C
[Chorus]
G A7
And by the time that her train's parting and her tragedy's restarting
G C
And it's you or the cash in a bag.
G C D Em A7
She'll be rolling in millions and you'll be singing the exile rag.
C D
She'll be rolling in new love.
[Outro]
G G C
