[Intro]
G  G  C  G  G  C
G  G  C  D  C
 
[Verse 1]
     G                    C
Well I went down the road, take me back to my honey
G                                          D
I spent my time, made my money and now I'm pointing this ship home
         G                       C
But I'll keep your secrets here, some shack in California
G                                         D                C#
I'm shutting my mouth but gotta warn you, everybody knows
C  C  C  Fmaj7  C
C  C  C  Fmaj7  C
 
[Verse 2]
       G                         C
'Cause you've been out all night, always talking at the wrong time
G                                     D
The barroom and the busted lamp light keep you company
         G                        C
And it's there you speak her name and give in to the lips of strangers
G                                    D                             C#
But poor boy, you'll never tame her, she knows your talk is cheap
C  C  C  Fmaj7  C
C  C  C  Fmaj7  C
 
[Chorus]
                       G                                  A7
And by the time that you go get her, by the time that you feel better
                     G                        C C Fmaj7 C
By the time that you realize the new you is a drag
                     G                      C              D     G
She'll be rolling in new love and you'll be rolling on the exile rag
 
[Verse 3]
G                      C
So Shotgun Annie, come, look down your barrel at me
G                                     D
Take your time, feel free to have me dying or alive.
         G                      C
'Cause I couldn't stand to walk wild streets in New York freezing
G                                D                    C#
Looking for a love that pleasing to waltz into my life.
C  C  C  Fmaj7  C
C  C  C  Fmaj7  C
 
[Chorus]
                         G                                  A7
But by the time that her door's closing and you feel like you're imposing
        G                       C
on that brand new boyfriend she has.
                     G                      C              D      G
She'll be rolling in new love and you'll be singing on the exile rag.
 
[Guitar Solo]
 
[Verse 4]
G                               C
Well the ghost here ain't so bad, but I swear she talks just like you
G                                          D
Shows her teeth and walks just like you do in the middle of the night.
G                         C
Knee-high boots and bells, she does a turn-round for me.
G                                  D                     C#
Holds me close but then ignores me underneath the light.
C  C  C  Fmaj7  C
C  C  C  Fmaj7  C
 
[Chorus]
                         G                                 A7
And by the time that her train's parting and her tragedy's restarting
          G                    C
And it's you or the cash in a bag.
                     G                      C           D     Em    A7
She'll be rolling in millions and you'll be singing the exile rag.
                     C          D
She'll be rolling in new love.
 
[Outro]
