Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
Now [G]they all
sat [C]around in [G]a circle[C]
They were [G]laughing and [C]all telling [D]lies
Then the [C]tall one he bumped in a [G]dollar
[C]Oh he said [G]boys I've got [D]nothing to [G]hide
Now if the King and the [C]Queen
stood to[G]gether[C]
Then the [G]ace he would [C]not be to [D]blame

[Verse 2]
And if the [C]cards were all laid on the [G]table,
now [C]darlin'
Then [G]love could be [D]more than a [G]game
And if the [C]stars didn't
shine on the [G]wa ter
Then the sun wouldn't [F]burn on [C]the sand
And [G]if I were the [C]woman you [G]wanted babe

[Verse 3]
[C]I would not[G] be the wom[D]an tha[G]t I am
And I have seen [C]my share
[G]of long [C]nights
And [G]I have told m[C]y share of l[D]ies
And [C]I have run into the d[G]arkness,
now [C]darlin'
When [G]I saw the l[D]ook in y[G]our eyes

[Verse 4]
But if the [G]night didn't [C]lie
in [G]the dark[C]ness
Then the [G]daylight would [C]be hard [D]to find
And if the [C]truth didn't turn
to a weak[G]ness, now [C]babe
I would have [G]never
[D]have spoken [G]my mind
And if the [C]stars didn't
shine on the [G]wa ter

[Verse 5]
Then the [G]sun wouldn't [F]burn on [C]the sand
[G]And if I were [C]woman you [G]wanted babe
[C]Then I would [G]not be the [D]woman that [G]I
[C]am[G][C][D][C]
[G][C][G][D][G]
So if you're going out [C]to [G]California
[C]Then don't [G]linger in [C]New Mexico
[D]

[Verse 6]
And if you [C]think of the one there be[G]hind you,
there [C]darlin'
Then [G]you might not [D]feel so [G]alone
And if [C]the stars didn't
shine on the [G]water
Then the sun wouldn't [F]burn on the [C]sand

[Verse 7]
And [G]if I were the [C]woman you [G]wanted babe
[C]I would not[G] be the wom[D]an that I am
[G]And if I were the wom[C]an you wan[G]ted babe
[C]I would not[G] be the wom[D]an that I a[C]m
[G]
