She tried to dance me to death

I'm slap out of breath

Chorus:
A augmentedA
Donna and Seth's some ex-friends of mine
D MajorD A augmentedA
That talked me out on a blind date
She worked with a girl named Beth Darnell
B7B7 E MajorE
That had a body that could not wait
A augmentedA
We picked up Beth at her mama's house
D MajorD B7B7
Met her mama, her daddy was dead
A augmentedA
Beth had a face like a Wanted poster
E MajorE
And a gallon of moose on her head
A augmentedA
We wound up at the Cowboy Heaven
D MajorD A augmentedA
And we hadn't got in the door
She grabbed me by the forearm
B7B7 E MajorE
And drug me out on the fl oor
A augmentedA
We danced to thirty-seven songs in a row
D MajorD B7B7
Never done that in my life
A augmentedA
We cut the rug like a carpet installer
E MajorE A augmentedA
With a dull utility knife
A augmentedA
She tried to dance me to death
D MajorD A augmentedA
I'm slap out of breath
Lord, that woman's killin' me
B7B7 E MajorE
I'm looking for Donna and Seth

If you don't I'm gonna die"
A augmentedA
They said, "why"
E MajorE A augmentedA
And I said, "That dagum Beth's gonna dance me to death"

Till I was sweatin' right through my clothes

I woke up in the parking lot
E MajorE BB
And the ambulance was there
Staring at me was an EMT

And a cowboy in a wheel chair

And the EMT, said "I'll give you a hint
Son, you have just been the victim
F#F# BB
Of a freak dance acci dent"

Well, the cowboy looks at me
E MajorE BB
And said, "Beth Dar nell" - I said, "how'd you know"
