Big Harlan Taylor Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I o[C]nce had a sweetheart,
[Cm]the [C]fairest [F]of maidens[C]
[F]She outshined all [C]others that
[D]I'd known by [G]far
I had [C]a friend, big fella,
name of [F]big Harlan [C]Taylor
Harlan had a rubber-tyred
new [G]new shiny car
[C]

[Verse 2]
Oh the [F]ways of the [C]world,
and the [G]wants of a wo[C]man
If l [F]figured them [C]all out,
would [G]take many [C]years

[Interlude 1]
[C][F][C][G][C]

[Verse 3]
By the [C]wants of a woman she
[F]fell for big Har[C]lan
L tried but in vain for to take
[D]my own lif[G]e
Sud[C]denly I had lost all my
[F]will to keep liv[C]in'
She'd lost her desire to
become [G]my young wife
[C]

[Verse 4]
Oh the [F]ways of the [C]world,
and the [G]wants of a wo[C]man
[F]If l figured them [C]all out,
[G]would take many [C]years

[Interlude 2]
[C][G][C]

[Verse 5]
Well I wanted [C]revenge,
and [F]waylaid for big [C]harlan
Then I started wondering,
[D]what good would it do?[G]
If a [C]rubber-tyred new new shiny
[F]car's her ambi[C]tion
Then I'll just let her have it,
and [G]big Harlan too
[C]

[Verse 6]
Oh the [F]ways of the [C]world,
and [G]the wants of a wo[C]man
If I [F]figured them [C]all out,
would [G]take many [C]years
If I [F]figured them all [C]out,
would [G]take [C]many years
