Intro

| Dm | A7 | F | G7 | Bb7 | A7 | Dm | A7 |

Verse 1

I wonder where you are tonight
You're probably on the rampage somewhere
You have been known to take delight in
Gettin' in somebody's hair
And you always had the knack
Fade to black  

Verse 2

I bet you already made a pass
I see a darkened room somewhere
You run your finger round the rim of his glass
Run your fingers through his hair, they
Scratch across his back
Fade to black  

Solo

| Dm | A7 | F | G7 | Bb7 | A7 | Dm | A7 |

Verse 3

Well maybe it's all for the best, but I
Wish I'd never been lassoed
Maybe it's some kind of test
I wish I'd never been tattooed, or
Been to hell and back
Fade to black 

Solo

| Dm | A7 | F | G7 | Bb7 | A7 | Dm | A7 | x2
| Dm |
