Verse 1:
D                                    G          D
  Looks like everywhere I go, always get myself in trouble
                                 A
Girls I pick on ain't the safest kind
      D
And I wind up running barefoot,
        G              D
Through everything but clover
                       A              D
Cause the neck I value most of all is mine

Chorus:
             G                              D
That's why I left a blue shirt hanging on a bed post in Seattle
                                A
My Levis float on San Fransisco Bay
      G                           D
And I left a Stetson hanging in a hallway down in Dallas
                    A               D
And a dozen pair of boots along the way

Betty was a sweet thing I was courting in Seattle
                                 A
She swore to me she was nobody's wife
    D                           G                D
But how was I to know she had a boyfriend big as Dallas
                  A                  D
I traded one blue shirt for one good life


Chorus:
             G                              D
That's why I left a blue shirt hanging on a bed post in Seattle
                                A
My Levis float on San Fransisco Bay
      G                           D
And I left a Stetson hanging in a hallway down in Dallas
                    A               D
And a dozen pair of boots along the way

Now Susie had a big yacht, we anchored in the harbor
                                   B
She said she was alone, at least today
        E
When he climbed aboard, I swam for shore
A               E
Praying I might get there
                        B            E
Lost some Levis while I made my get away

That's why I left a blue shirt hanging on a bed post in Seattle
