Dark Horse
George Harrison.
From the album "Dark Horse", 1974
I tried the other tabs available but didn't like either one, so I worked at it and I am
that this is 100% correct.
And I know that all the other tabs always say that too but I actually mean it.
On the "Dark Horse" album version, George plays this capoed on the 7th fret.
On the "Live in Japan" album, he plays it capoed on the 5th.

A E7
You thought that you knew where I was and when
A E7
But it looks that I've been fooling you again
B7 E7
You thought that you'd got me all staked out
B7 E7
But baby looks like I've been breaking out.

You thought that you had me in your grip
A E7
Baby looks like you was not so smart
B7 E7
And I became so slippery for you
B7 E7
But let me tell you that was nothing new.

Until you started getting me no right

Seems as if you heard a little late

But I warned you when we both were at the starting gate.
