[Intro 1]
[Bb][G][Bb][G]
[Bb]
Well, [G]she was

[Verse 1]
standing by
my dressing room after the show
Asking for my autograph and
asked if she could go
Back to my [C]motel room. But the
rest is just a tragic [G]tale
Because [D]five short minutes of lovin'
Done brought [C]me twenty
long years in jail
[G]

[Verse 2]
[D]
Well, like a [G]fool in a hurry I took
her to my room
She casted me in plaster
while I sang her a tune
Then I said, [C]"Ooh,
ooee!" Sure was a tragic [G]tale
Because [D]five short minutes of lovin'
Done brought [C]me twenty
long years [G]in jail

[Verse 3]
[G][D]
Well, then a [G]judge and a jury
sat me in a room
They say that robbin' the cradle is
worse than robbin' the tomb
Then I said [C]"Ooh,
ooee!" Sure [G]was a tragic tale
(Wasn't worth it,
wasn't worth it!)
Because [D]five short minutes of lovin'
Done brought me [C]twenty long
years [G]in jail

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 4]

[G]whe[D]n I get ou[G]t of
this prison gonna be forty-five
I'll I'll know I used to like to do it but I
won't remember [C]why
(Wasn't worth it,
[G]wasn't worth it!)
I'll say "Ooh,
ooee! Sure was a tragic tale
Because [D]five short minutes of lovin'
Done brought me [C]twenty
long years [G]in jail

[Verse 5]

Because [D]five short minutes of lovin'
Done brought [C]me twenty long years [G]in jail
