There were no chords for this so I put some together! No tabs or riffs, just a
little something to start with.

[G] [D] [Am] [C]
[G] [D] [Am] [D] [Am]
Oh she?d drag me[C] out with spurs
Into th[C]e candlelight
She di[G]d.
And she rode me [C]like the bull
In some honky-t[C]onk
She did,[G] oh yes she did [D]
But she?d never[Am] had to worry
About the dwind[C]ling of dollars
Or how life [G]could strike out iron spite
And crus[D]h you without warning
But I d[Am]id, Lo[C]-Lord I surely did. [G][D]
And I was bold[Am] when I first met her
Enamor[C]ed with all the things that she did [G]
Oh but then somethin[Am]g crept into me
It was a bla[C]ckness I hated and I so deeply hi[G]d [D]
But I was jealo[Am]us and concerned
Like some damn beast and s[C]he was beauty
Thought some dashing man [G]would sweep her up
And bury [D]me in torment
[Am]Yes, I did, th[C]ough I ain?t too proud of it [G][D]
Oh was I speak[C]ing holy tongues?
Or withdrawin[D]g from you?
Did a pla[Em]gue of sinking feelings leav[G]e me speaking in half-truths? [D]
Oh I do no[C]t have the stomach to repair these gapin[G]g wounds
I?ll take m[Am]y share of the blame for[C] all the things I did. [G]
[G] [D] [Am] [C]
[G] [D] [Am] [D] [Am]
So now our castle ga[C]tes are broken
The wrecka[C]ge is the price for what we did [G]
Oh yeah that girl sh[C]e was my lover
Now s[C]he is a stranger in the land in which I [G]live [D]
Oh ain?t it funny ho[Am]w far we travel in the company of friends [C]
Yet somehow th[G]e times we share but fill our faces with regret? [D]
Oh, [Am]I hate it[C], though I feel it must be said.[G][D]
Oh was I speak[C]ing holy tongues?
