[Intro 1]
[Em]
[A][Em]

[Verse 1]
Well I met [Em]a
woman in East Texas
She'd [A]been left by her[D]self [Em]alone
Well I met a [A]wo man in East Texas
She'd been left by herself [Em]alone
And I was stranded out [B]in the coun[A]try where
I was barely known
[Em]

[Verse 2]
She fell for me a lonesome stranger
Stand[D]ing in [A]the drizzling [Em]rain
She fell for [A]me a lonesome stranger
Standing in the drizzling [Em]rain
She said you can stay with [E]me baby[A]
Though I don't even know your [Edim]name
[A][Em][Edim][A][Em][A][Em]

[Verse 3]
[Em]
Just don't tell me you love me
Cause [Edim]to tell a lie is a sin[Em][Edim]
Just [A]don't tell me you love me
Cause to tell a lie is [Em]a sin
But please lay down [D]beside me hon[A]ey

[Interlude 1]
Cause tonight I need a friend
[Em][Edim][Em][Esus4]
[Em][A][Em]
[A][Em][E]
[A][G][Em][D][Em]

[Verse 4]
She said [Em]I care for you daddy
But I [Edim]don't love no man
more than my[Em]self[Edim]
[A]She said I care for you daddy
But [Am]I don't lo[A]ve no
man [G]more than [Em]myself
But I got a [B]mind to care
And a heart [A]to love just like anyone [Edim]else
[Em][Edim][Em]

[Interlude 2]
[A][Bbdim][D][Em]

[Verse 5]
Well the wolves howl till [Em]midnight
And [Edim]the wild dogs moan for[Em] days
Yeah the [A]wolves howl till midnight
And the wild dogs moan [Em]for d[Esus4]ays
[Em][A][Em]
[A][Em]
The man in the moon looked down on us
But he didn't have a thing
to say
[Em][Edim][Am][E]
