Lyrics

You made a fool of me but them bro ken dreams have got to (C)end.

Hey wom an, you got the (Dm7)blues

(Em7)’cause you ain’t got no one else to use.

There’s an o pen road that leads no where, (Em7)so just make some miles be tween here (Dm7)and there.

There’s a (Am)hole in my head where the rain comes in,

you took my (Em7)bod y and played to win.

(Am)Ha ha, (Em7)wom an, it’s a (Dm7)cry in’ shame, (Em7)but you (Fmaj7)ain’t got no bod y else to blame.

E vil wom (Dm7)an,

e vil wom (Dm7)an,

e vil wom (Dm7)an,

e vil wom (Dm7)an.

Rolled in from an oth er town,

(Em7)hit some gold too (Em7)hard to set tle down,

but a (Am)fool and his mon ey soon go sep ’rate ways.

and (Am)you found a fool (Em7)ly in’ in a daze.

(Am)Ho ha, (Em7)wom an, what you gon na do?

(Em7)You de (Am)stroyed all the vir tues that the (Dm7)Lord gave you.

It’s so good that you’re feel in’ pain, (Em7)but you (Fmaj7)bet ter get your (G)face on board the (C)ver y next train.

E vil (Em7)wom an, how you (Dm7)done me wrong,

but (Am)now you’re try in’ to (Em7)wail a dif f’rent song.

(Am)Ha ha, (Em7)fun ny how you (Dm7)broke me up;

you made the (Em7)wine, now you (Dm7)drink a cup.

I came run nin’ ev ’ry (Dm7)time you cried,

thought I (Em7)saw love smil in’ (Dm7)in your eyes.

(Am)Ha ha, ver y (Dm7)nice to know (Em7)that you (Fmaj7)ain’t got no place left to go.

E vil wom (Dm7)an,

e vil wom (Dm7)an,

e vil wom (Dm7)an,

e vil wom (Dm7)an.

E vil wom (Dm7)an,

e vil wom (Dm7)an,

e vil wom (Dm7)an,

e vil wom (Dm7)an.

(Dm7)an.
