Verse 1
C 
F 
C 
G 
C 
She was a waitress in a
F 
West
Texas dance hall
C 
G 
C 
I was a cowboy with a throat full of sand
F 
I called her honey when she
brought my whiskey
C 
G 
C 
And later I left there holding her hand
Then we walked down the street
F 
to a tumbledown hotel
C 
Well, she had a room on
G 
C 
a cold second floor
And that room looked like hell
F 
Just a bed and a table
C 
A shade on the window
G 
C 
And a lock on the door
G 
F 
I said to myself, she's cheap
And she's easy,
C 
Dm 
C 
but she don't look half bad.
G 
I'll stay for the night,
C 
but I'll leave when it's early.
F 
Because I've got this feeling she
C 
G 
won't look so good in the bright
C 
F 
C 
G 
C 
morning light.
I've known some devils and
F 
I've known some angels
C 
I once had a woman on the
G 
C 
Mexico line
G 
C 
But I've never been touched
F 
C 
Like that woman touched me, she laid there beside me,
G 
C 
A 
and crawled in my mind.
D 
And  we talked, and we smoked,
G 
and made love till morning.
D 
The sun came a -screamin'
A 
D 
through a hole in the shade.
A 
D 
And  it felt like a spotlight on
G 
her face and her body
D 
And it hung like a halo round
A 
D 
the bed where we lay
A 
G 
I said to myself, she's cheap
And she's easy,
D 
A 
D 
but she don't look half bad
A 
I guess I'll stay here for the night
D 
But I tell you boys,
Dm 
D 
G 
that was five years ago
Lord
G 
God, what a wo man
D 
She still looks as good
A 
A 
In the bright morning light
