Tom: Dm F C F When I got home I found my baby away A7 Bb Yeah a lil' piece of paper said she'd gone out to play Bb I know the river's done gone dry F Dm She's trapped another fly Bb C F I got nuthin' to do, but a few more words to say Chorus: C Bb I got the mean woman blues F Lord knows i'd lose G C I just can't seem to get her off my mind Bb She's an all night rockin' mother F Dm Lord knows I love her Bb C F She's leavin' me to ramble on up the line When she moved in I kissed the blues goodbye She lit my torch and left the furnace on high Lord the money that I paid For that livin', lovin', maid Now she left me here to grieve on and cry Chorus x1 If you hear my song, you know just what I mean Lord I think it's all just apart of the woman scheme If you're buyin what she sells She'll run you straight to hell Captivate your mind and pick your truths so clean
