Roving Woman


C      Am    Dm     G
People say a roving woman
C         Am        Dm              G
is likely not to be better than she ought to be;
C          Am     D
so, when I stray away from where I've got to be,
Dm             G        C
someone always takes me home.

G            D        G         D
A lady never should habituate saloons,
G                   A              Bm        Am
and that is where I find myself on many afternoons.
G               Am     G             C
But just as I begin to blow away the foam,
Bm               Bb            D        G
someone tips his hat to me and takes me home.

C      Am    Dm     G
People say a roving woman
C         Am        Dm              G
is likely not to be better than she ought to be;
C          Am     D
so, when I stray away from where I've got to be,
Dm             G        C
someone always takes me home.

G               D      G              D
Now, poker is a game a lady shouldn?t play,
G                  A               Bm                Am
and every floatin? poker game just seems to float my way.
Em                   Am     G                C
But long before I've lost a thing besides my comb,
Bm               Bb             D        G
someone tips his hand to me and takes me home.

C         Am       Dm     G
Don't see why they always do it
C        Am      F               G
can't be vanity; must be sheer humanity
E              Am     D
when some kind soul remarks with great urbanity:
Dm            G        C
'Lady, let me take you home.'

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

C      Am    Dm     G
People say a roving woman
C         Am        F               G
is likely not to be better than she ought to be;
E          Am             D
so, when I stray, there?s positively got to be
Dm               G       C
someone there to take me home.
