Verse 2
B
B
And the rose was exalted
F#
F#
C#
C#
in the palm of her hand
F#
F#
B
B
Along with her fist
F#
F#
C#
C#
F#
F#
and the beer in her can
B
B
As she barnstormed outside
F#
F#
C#
C#
like a witch on a broom
B
B
F#
F#
And shot a polished middle finger
C#
C#
F#
F#
to that man in the moon
B
B
F#
F#
Singin' hi's to the angel
C#
C#
and lo's to the hawk
F#
F#
B
B
F#
F#
I'm a woman in need of
C#
C#
a twenty -minute talk
F#
F#
B
B
F#
F#
With a pine -paneled wall
C#
C#
or a sug ar cane stalk
F#
F#
B
B
Got a man out there somewhere
F#
F#
C#
C#
F#
F#
and he's fixin' to walk
B
B
You see I loved him for centuries
C#
C#
it seems to me now
F#
F#
B
B
She told the bartender
F#
F#
C#
C#
as he was wiping his brow
F#
F#
B
B
He was honest and simple
F#
F#
C#
C#
at least that's how he appeared
F#
F#
B
B
And he was pretty good
F#
F#
C#
C#
F#
F#
looking for a guy around here
B
B
But God, did he scare me
F#
F#
C#
C#
when he closed up inside
F#
F#
B
B
And would sit there for hours
F#
F#
C#
C#
F#
F#
like his whole world had died
B
B
A#m
A#m
Silent and breathless
C#
C#
F#
F#
like he'd punctured his lungs
B
B
F#
F#
Till his mouth became his quiver
C#
C#
and his sword became his tongue
F#
F#
B
B
And then I became his target
F#
F#
B
B
F#
F#
Cause his anger wouldn't melt,
no poem ever written
C#
C#
F#
F#
can describe how that felt
B
B
F#
F#
Singing highs to the angels
C#
C#
and lows to the hawk

I'm a woman in need of

B
B
That bartender slammed
A#m
A#m
C#
C#
down his fist with a shout
F#
F#
B
B
And said, I'll have one with you,
F#
F#
C#
C#
F#
F#
you're wearin' me out
B
B
As a smile leaked out
F#
F#
C#
C#
of one silver -capped tooth
F#
F#
B
B
He said, I'm not too busy,
F#
F#
C#
C#
F#
F#
let's sit down in this booth
B
B
As a warm wind blew in
F#
F#
C#
C#
like a sweet baby's breath
F#
F#
B
B
Then an angel appeared
F#
F#
C#
C#
F#
F#
and took one look and left.
B
B
She said, God, I'm so selfish,
F#
F#
G#m
G#m
C#
C#
F#
F#
I could not let it pass.
B
B
I swarmed his convictions
F#
F#
C#
C#
F#
F#
and I badgered his ass.
B
B
F#
F#
It's like he poured some concrete
A#m
A#m
C#
C#
and left it in the yard.
F#
F#
B
B
And I despise what he's doing,
F#
F#
C#
C#
F#
F#
so I just let it get hard.
B
B
F#
F#
Singin' highs to the angels
C#
C#
and lows to the hawk
F#
F#
B
B
F#
F#
I'm a woman in need of
C#
C#
a twenty minute talk

A#m

When the regulars came in,
C#

well everybody got loud
F#
F#
B
B
She was sobering up,
A#m
A#m
C#
C#
without one trace of sorrow
F#
F#
B
B
When the bartender called out,
F#
F#
C#
C#
F#
F#
Will I see you tomorrow?
B
B
She said, probably not,
F#
F#
C#
C#
if I can find my old man
F#
F#
B
B
He said, leave him alone
F#
F#
C#
C#
She said, you don't understand
F#
F#
B
B
That's what I've been doing
F#
F#
C#
C#
That's the horse I've been riding
F#
F#
B
B
You see the fear I've
been showing
F#
F#
C#
C#
That's the fear he's been hiding
F#
F#
B
B
F#
F#
So I've been no better,
C#
C#
but he's no less a fool
F#
F#
B
B
I'm gonna bust him for that,
F#
F#
C#
C#
but he can bust me too
F#
F#
B
B
And then he'll take his choice
F#
F#
A#m
A#m
C#
C#
F#
F#
if he wants to slam the door
B
B
At least he'll slam the door
F#
F#
C#
C#
F#
F#
he was worth fighting for
B

Singin' hi's to the angels
