Intro:

G Em G Em C G

Verse:


G
Babe put out your cigarette and dance me round the room
        Em
Kiss my eyes like they were petals on a white azalea bloom
G
Hundred forty days from now I’ll still be missing you
      Em                             C            G
Every time I think I have you now I never really do

G
Babe put out your cigarette and carry me away
         Em
Put your hands around my waist like you’re a potter sculpting clay
G
Half a mind to leave you now and half a mind to stay
        Em                                C             G
but the one’s a real smooth talker so the other better pray

Bridge:
       C    Em       D    G
Cause only time can tell you
 C      Em       D         G
If your love is tried and true

Chorus:
            C                    G
Walk this whole wide world around me
          C                 G
Miles and mountains for someone
         C                 G         Em
I could lie down safe and soundly beside
    C                              G
My whole life til my dyin’ day is done
    C                              G
My whole life til my dyin’ day is done


Verse:
G
Babe put out your cigarette and play me some old tune
        Em
Sing it to me like the shining of the Jackson County moon
G
Lit my lover’s body by the riverbanks in June
       Em
If you love your woman, give her thanks
C                  G
She will belong to you

Bridge:
     C    Em       D    G
But only time can tell you
 C      Em       D         G
If your love is tried and true

Chorus:

            C                    G
Walk this whole wide world around me
          C                 G
Miles and mountains for someone
         C                 G         Em
I could lie down safe and soundly beside
    C                              G
My whole life til my dyin’ day is done
    C                              G
My whole life til my dyin’ day is done



Verse:
G
Babe put out your cigarette the day’s already gone
           Em
You’re all dressed up for the courtroom

and I’ve got my red dress on
G
Breaks my heart to look at you and think I’d ever say
       Em
That I once was yours, you once were mine
    C              G
But that was yesterday


Bridge:
       C    Em       D    G
Cause only time can tell you
 C      Em       D         G
If your love is tried and true

Chorus:
            C                    G
Walk this whole wide world around me
          C                 G
Miles and mountains for someone
         C                 G         Em
I could lie down safe and soundly beside
    C                              G
My whole life til my dyin’ day is done
