^GLong before the ^Cscreen door slammed, ^Gshe was out of ^Dxenia A ^Gstranger could have ^Cloved that town, ^Gbut she had to ^Dleave

Chorus

I ^Amwish I'd gotten to ^Dknow her be^Amfore I fell in ^Dlove I could ^Gsay who's to blame, ^Amsay who's the man in this ^Fcautionary ^Dtale But I ^Gswore I'd be true and I'll ^Amswear and I'll swear Til ^Fkitten's out of ^Djail

Verse It was like a TV show, the way she stole that car Easy now to criticize, easy now to talk Chorus I thought my luck was changing, I guess I was wrong I could say who's to blame, say who's the man in this cautionary tale But I swore I'd be true and I'll swear and I'll swear Til kitten's out of jail Bridge

^EmDidn't ^Fwant ^Cto be a ^Gslave ^Emjust turned ^Fout ^Gthat way

(Organ solo:listen for the rythm) G Am F D G Am F D Chorus I thought my luck was changing, I guess I was wrong I could say she's to blame, say she's the man in this cautionary tale But I swore I'd be true and I'll swear and I'll swear Til kitten's out of jail Outro G Am F D (Repeat this A couple times, then end on G)
