Verse 2
I was looking for trouble to

I was sinking (C major) too fast (D major) to run (G major) free
Verse 3
With her scheming, (C major) (A minor) (G major) idle (D major) ways

(G major)
Verse 4
I would not be asking,
I would not be seen
A-beggin' on on mountain or hill (C major)
But I'm ready (G major) and blind with
my hands tied behind
I've neither (C major) (D major) a mind nor a will
(G major)
Verse 5
With her scheming, (C major) (A minor) idle (G major) (D major) ways

(G major)
Verse 6
It's bitter the need of
the poor ditching boy
He'll always believe what they say (C major)
They tell (G major) him it's hard to
be honest and true
Does he mind (C major) if (D major) he doesn't
get (G major) paid?
Verse 7
With her scheming, (C major) (A minor) (G major) idle (D major) ways
She left (C major) me poor (A minor) enough (G major)

But she (C major) cut through (D major) to my blood
