The walk in is empty on the right side of the bedroom
    C               G            A         D
The drawers and the dressers are empty and bare
         G          B7          C            G
She took all of her records and all the good dishes

There’s hardly a sign that a woman’s been there
             G      B7              C               G
She took the Emmy I bought her, she didn't steal my Nelson

She's sworn off us gingers, so it would seem
      G            B7             C           G
But I bet you good money if she’s runnin with another

He don't hold a flame to the likeness of me

There’s a note on the table, I'm skimming it over
       C          G           A           D
As the rain beats down on the tin roof outside
      G              B7          C              G
And I can’t help but notice that spiteful young woman
    C           G               D           G
Ran out with my clothes left to soak on the line
  C          G            C        G
I don't understand, I'm a likeable man
        C              G          D
How the hell could she leave this behind
        G                B7              C           G
There’s questions big as oceans floatin’ round in my mind
        C          G             D            G
But the one I keep askin’ is the wonderin’ oh why

Biscuits are tricky, my cookin’s a crime
    G           B7          C             G
But guitars and women, they come and they leave me
     C         G                D      G
With lovin and six strings I'll surely survive
     C         G                D      G
With lovin and six strings I'll surely survive
