Verse 1:
D         G     C D
She was a woman
D        G    C D
sawed in half
D      G       C D
It was done by
D       G      C D
a bad magician
D           G        C      D
There was a point at which
D               G     C D
she just had to laugh
D              G      C D
You could appreciate
D     G      C D
her position
D           G       C D
Her legs in one way
D               G    C D
and her head another
D             G        C     D
She just kept thinking about
D       G    C D
walking away
D             G       C       D
They tried to put her back together
D              G     C D
underneath the cover
D       G          C         D
But her heart kept getting in,
D              G    C D
getting in the way

Chorus:
D   C   G       D
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
D   C   G       D
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
D   C   G       D
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
D   C   G       D
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

D         G     C D
She was a woman
D        G    C D
sawed in half
D                G      C D
Let's cut to the chase,
D                   G    C D
love, this was show time
D          G        C       D
And he was sweating bullets
D              G     C D
and walking on glass
D                 G               C D
Somewhere between the evening news
D              G        C D
and tomorrow's headline     Buzz awhile

Verse 3:
D         G     C D
She was a woman
D        G    C D
sawed in half
D      G       C D
It was done by
D       G      C D
a bad magician
D             G           C D
Yeah, it was a clear cut thing,
D              G        C D
no, you didn't have to ask
D       G          C  D
She was gonna have to make
D       G      C D
her own decisions
D            G      C      D
Her legs got up and walked away
D                 G      C D
and her head came rolling
D                G       C     D
Oh, the room was painted black light
D                    G   C     D
and, and turning the day glow
D               G          C  D
She wound up in two places at once,
D             G       C D
her heart was swollen
D             G       C    D
He played his musical saw
D                 G         C D
in the streets of San Diego

Chorus:
D   C   G       D
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
D   C   G       D
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
D   C   G       D
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
D   C   G       D
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

Verse 4:
          G     C        D
She was a woman sawed in half,
            G      C D
her legs in Tijuana
          G         C       D
She was a bodiless head and trapeze artist
               G      C D
in a circus in Bombay
      G             C  D                      G    C D
Now a woman's gonna do exactly what a woman's gonna
G     C        D                              G     C   D
Yeah, some bad magicians wouldn't have it any other way
          G     C       D                             G     C    D
She holds on to that trapeze by the skin of her teeth or so they say

G C D
