Intro:
D MajorD (x4)

Verse:
   D MajorD
Well here's what happens when you fall for a pistol
No no I don't mean no gun
   A augmentedA
I'm talkin' 'bout a man with bells and whistles
   G+G          (F-E-D-F-E-D-B-D)
The kind that keeps your heart on the run
 D MajorD
I met that cat in a two-bit juke joint
Took my money in a game of pool
A augmentedA
Next thing I knew I was sittin' 'hind the eight-ball
G+G
Playin' my heart
G+G          (D-F-F#-G-G-G-G-G-A-Bb-B-C)
Breakin' all the rules
C majorC            G+G
Throw your rope 'round a runaway freight train
D MajorD
You know it's gonna drag you down the track
C majorC               G+G
You dust your britches off and tell yourself you're insane
A augmentedA                  (A-Bb-B-C-C#-D-D#-E-F-F#-G-G#-A))
But every time you love a man like that

From the police
     D MajorD   FF F#F# G+G
Tell your mama
        D MajorD   FF F#F# G+G
Don't know what happened
   A augmentedA
Well you wanted trouble
Now you got a fistful
N.C.
That's what happens
When you fall for a pistol

Verse:
D MajorD
Well you'd think by now I'd learned my lesson

But I keep makin' them same mistakes
A augmentedA
Must be some clue I keep missin'
G+G                (D-F-F#-G-G-G-G-G-A-Bb-B-C)
How many times can a good heart break
C majorC         G+G
I keep fallin' for all them bad boys
D MajorD
Poor or rich as dirt
C majorC        G+G
Lots of fun and I ain't jokin'
  A augmentedA
But every time I think I won't get hurt

* I actually prefer to play with drop D MajorD tuning.
* Things in parentheses are small bridges or passages that add something to the tune.
* Weird song that is both straight and shuffle and in between at the same time.
