Fastest Growing Heartache In The West

D   E E7 A

[Verse 1]
A
I brought her here from Arkansas
  D              A
A simple country girl
                            E     E7
To try a Californian way of life
       A
But it didn't take her long to learn
    D                  A
The ways of the modern world
          D            E              A
Now she's California's fastest moving wife

[Chorus]
      E             E7
She's working on it over time
    D                  A
And soon she'll finish me
                                                 D      E   E7
And the world's saddest man will live here in Los Angeles
   A
Of all the things she's ever done
      D               A
She's making this her best
          D               E                A
I got the fastest growing heartache in the west

[Interlude]
D   E E7 A

[Verse 2]
A
'Til we came here no man had ever
  D                   A
Touched her heart but me
                                E     E7
She'd never tasted any lips but mine
    A
But I know now, men have seen
     D             A
What only I should see
          D                E          A
Since her lips have tasted California wine

[Chorus]
      E             E7
She's working on it over time
    D                  A
And soon she'll finish me
                                                 D      E   E7
And the world's saddest man will live here in Los Angeles
   A
Of all the things she's ever done
      D               A
She's making this her best
          D               E                A
I got the fastest growing heartache in the west
