A5 
I've got a tiger by the tail 
              D5 
It's plain to see 
E5                                          A5 
I won't be much when you get through with me 
                                              D5 
Well, I'm loosing weight and a turnin' mighty pale 
E5                                A5 
Looks like I got a tiger by the tail
--------------------
Well, I thought the day I met you 
         D5 
You were meek as a lamb 
E5                                   A5 
Just the kind to fit my dreams and plans 

But now the place we're livin' 
          D5 
Takes the wind from my sail 
E5                                   A5 
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail 
 
(Repeat chorus) 
 

A5 
Every night you drag me where 
    D5 
The bright lights are found 
E5                               A5 
There ain't no way to slow you down 
                           D5 
I'm about as helpless as a leaf in a gale 
    E5                                       A5 
And looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
