Off of Gangstabilly

Tuned down a whole step

G
You met him at the dance hall
    D  
You only saw his charms
    C                                 G
You said he really swept you off your feet

Then one night he?s drinking
    D
and jealousy enraged
   C                             G
He knocked out two of your front teeth


G                   D
so you came over to hide out at my place
C                                          G
I guess I should have killed him there and then
G
but you begged me not to
D
now you say he?s changed
    C                       G
and you?re gonna go back to him


G                             D
Don?t give me that bull about how it?s for the children
C                                G
A man like that could never be a dad
G
What happens when he kills you?
D
What will they do then?
C                                   G
Sometimes you ought to ask yourself that


C                           G
Don?t go back to him he?s a wife beater
     D                        G
You?d be better off with this potato eater
C                           G    Em
You say he?s changed, don?t be a fool
G                    D        G 
A man like that?s no good for you
G                    D        G
A man like that?s no good for you
