**Capo 3** (how Joe played it on the Opry) 
 
 
Intro: G  B7  Em  C  G  D  D (one strum ) 
 
G                   D                   Em 
He wore that cowboy hat to cover up his horns 
G                    D                       Em 
Sweet talking forked tongue, had a tempting charm 
C                 D                   Em 
Before I turned around that girl was gone 
C                    D                        G 
All I can say is bartender pour me something strong 


D                            Em 
Here's to the past, they can kiss my glass 
   C                    G 
I hope she's happy with him 
D                       Em 
Here's to the girl who wrecked my world 
     C                 D 
That angel that did me in 
G                           B7 
I think the devil drives a Coup de Ville 
Em                       C 
I watched him drive away over the hill 
       G                           D 
Not against her will and I've got time to kill 
C        D      G 
Down in Brokenheartsville  
 
 
G  B7  Em  C  G  D  D (one strum ) 
 
G                D                    Em 
It was long and chrome sittin' in the lot 
G            D                  Em 
Fire engine red, that thing was hot 
C           D                 Em 
He reved it up, she waved goodbye 
C               D               G             
Love's gone to hell and so have I 
 
CHORUS (twice)
