            Am
She was the smiling girl,
          Am
It could light up the world,
                  G
And well did she know,
                Am
That she had a hold on a man,
                   Am
The more that she showed to a man,
                  G
The more she controlled,
                     Am
‘Cause she was the smiling girl,
                 Am
They said, “Keep away from the girl,
                 C    E
She’ nothin’ but bad news.”


               Am
And she had a jealous man,
                 Am
Said she wanted rid of him,
               G
She lay by my side,
                 Am
An’ he was the hard-workin’ kind,
            Am
Nothin’ but her on his mind,
              G
She was his prize,
                     Am
‘Cause she was the smiling girl,
                    Am
Said, “What do you want from me girl,
             C    E
Blood on my hands?”



     Am                C                G      
And oh boy, you were warned this would happen!
    Am                   C              G 
And oh lord, you’d have known this was comin,
Am
Yeah, he came out lookin’ for her,
C
He found us both together,
E                                Am
Beware the wrath of the jealous man,

If he could not be with her,
C
Then she could be with no other,
E                           Am
And so it is and will always be.
