Capo on the 1st fret. Verse 1: A He's a giver,he'll give her E7 The kind of attention that she's never known He's a helper,he'll help her A To open the doors that she can't on her own He's a lover,he'll love her D In ways that she never has been loved before E7 And he's a getter,he'll get her A By gettin' her into the world she's been hungerin' for Verse 2: A He's a charmer,and he'll charm her E7 With money and manners that i never learned He's a leader,and he'll lead her A Across pretty bridges he's planning to burn He's a talker,he'll talk her D Right of her feet,but he won't talk for long E7 Cause he's a doer,and he'll do her The way that i never A And damned if he won't do her wrong Chorus: D And he's s taker,he'll take her E7 To places and make her fly higher than she's ever dared to He'll take this time before takin' advantage A Takin' her easy and slow D And after he's taken her body and soul E7 That she gives him,he'll take her for granted Then he'll take off and leave her A Takin' all of her pride as he goes Chorus. Thanks to Jan Ekeland for the lyrics. Perret Charles-Amir. From: Jan Ekeland Some time ago a fellow somewhere in eastern Europe (I think) asked for the lyrics to 'The Taker' by Kris Kristofferson, and in my online written reply to him there were two or three minor faults. It didn't occur to me at that time that he would copy it onto Nevada...:-) Here is the corrected version... I guess you can delete these words and repace the former version of the taker with this one. Thanks...!
