Roving Woman


C majorC   A minorAm  DmDm   G+G
People say a roving woman
C majorC     A minorAm    DmDm       G+G
is likely not to be better than she ought to be;
C majorC     A minorAm   D MajorD
so, when I stray away from where I?ve got to be,
DmDm       G+G    C majorC
someone always takes me home.

G+G      D MajorD    G+G     D MajorD
A augmentedA lady never should habituate saloons,
G+G          A augmentedA       B minorBm    A minorAm
and that is where I find myself on many afternoons.
G+G        A minorAm   G+G       C majorC
But just as I begin to blow away the foam,
B minorBm        Bb majorBb      D MajorD    G+G
someone tips his hat to me and takes me home.

C majorC   A minorAm  DmDm   G+G
People say a roving woman
C majorC     A minorAm    DmDm       G+G
is likely not to be better than she ought to be;
C majorC     A minorAm   D MajorD
so, when I stray away from where I?ve got to be,
DmDm       G+G    C majorC
someone always takes me home.

G+G        D MajorD   G+G       D MajorD
Now, poker is a game a lady shouldn?t play,
G+G         A augmentedA        B minorBm        A minorAm
and every floatin? poker game just seems to float my way.
E minorEm          A minorAm   G+G        C majorC
But long before I?ve lost a thing besides my comb,
B minorBm        Bb majorBb       D MajorD    G+G
someone tips his hand to me and takes me home.

C majorC     A minorAm    DmDm   G+G
Don?t see why they always do it
C majorC    A minorAm   FF        G+G
can?t be vanity; must be sheer humanity
E MajorE       A minorAm   D MajorD
when some kind soul remarks with great urbanity:
DmDm      G+G    C majorC
'Lady, let me take you home.'

G+G              D MajorD    G+G      D MajorD
Of course, there?s bound to be some little aftermath
G+G           A augmentedA       B minorBm         A minorAm
that makes a pleasant ending for the straight and narrow path.
G+G       A minorAm    G+G        C majorC
And as I go to sleep, I cannot help but think
D MajorD         Bb majorBb        D MajorD     G+G
how glad I am that I was saved from cards and drink.

C majorC   A minorAm  DmDm   G+G
People say a roving woman
C majorC     A minorAm    FF        G+G
is likely not to be better than she ought to be;
E MajorE     A minorAm       D MajorD
so, when I stray, there?s positively got to be
DmDm        G+G    C majorC
someone there to take me home.
