[Verse 1]
D G D
I once had a sweetheart the fairest of maidens
D E7 A7
She outshined all others that I'd known by far
D G D
I had me a friend big fella Named Big Harlan Taylor
D A7 D
Harlan had a rubber tired new shiny car
[Chorus]
G D A D
All the ways of the world and the wants of a woman
G D A7 D
If I figured them all up it could take many years
D A D
[Verse 2]
D G D
By the wants of a woman she fell for Big Harlan
D E7 A7
I tried but in vain for to take my own life
D G D
Suddenly I had lost all my will to keep living
D A7 D
She'd lost her desire to become my young wife
[Chorus]
G D A D
All the ways of the world and the wants of a woman
G D A7 D
If I figured them all up it could take many years
D A D
[Verse 3]
D G D
Well I wanted revenge and way laid for Big Harlan
D E7 A7
Then I started wondering what good would it do
D G D
If a rubber tired new shiny car's her ambition
D A7 D
And I just let her have it and Big Harlan too
[Chorus]
G D A D
All the ways of the world and the wants of a woman
G D A7 D
If I figured them all up it could take many years
G D A7 D
If I figured them all up ’twould take many years
