         Bm         D/A      Gmaj9   G 
He was a good time, beer bar picker 
 
          Bm        D/A     Gmaj9   G 
until the night she came along. 
 
               Bm    D/A     Gmaj9    Em7 
He gave up his women and his liquor

She was holy in his eyes. 
 
            Bm        D/A     Gmaj9 
She had him bound and hypnotized.

She was the rattlesnake   that bit him. 
 
            Bm           D/A      Gmaj9     G 
She was the blow    from up    behind. 
 
                Bm             D/A              Cmaj9      Em7 
She thought the tear    in his eye   just might fit him, 
 
               D            C(addD)    Em7sus4 
and he was the last   thing on     her mind.
