Capo 1st Fret (to match original recording)

(A) (A) (A) (A)

The (A) first thing she done when they set her free
From the (E) women's correctional fa(A)cility
(D) Was to come here (A) askin' me for a (E) reconcili(Esus4)ation (E) 
She (A) said she'd changed her ways for good
And (E) all she was, was mis(A)understood
(D) So I did every(A)thing I could for her (E) rehabilit(Esus4)ation (E)

  (A) Hook, line and sinker, (D) I swallowed all of her (E) lies
  (A) Hook, line and sinker, (D) she took me for a (E) ride
  (F#m) Just one look at that (D) innocent face
  I (F#m) didn't think twice, I just (D) snapped up the bait
  (A) Hook, (F#m) line and (A) sinker

I helped her get on her feet again
I got her a job out at the Dixie Inn
I had to swear up and down to them that the girl could be trusted
Two nights later she cleaned them out
She took my old Firebird and headed South
And when the cops came to my house, buddy
Guess who go busted?

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(E) When she told me how (D) lonely she had (A) been
(E) I should have seen she was (D) only reelin' me (E) in
(A) Hook, line and sinker

(SOLO)

  (F#m) Just one look at that (D) innocent face
  I (F#m) didn't think twice, I just (D) snapped up the bait
  (A) Hook, (F#m) line and (A) sinker
  (D) I swallowed all of her (E) lies
  (A) Hook, (F#m) line and (A) sinker
  (D) She took me for a (E) ride
  (A) Hook, (F#m) line and (A) sinker (D) (E) 
  (NC) Hook, line and sinker (E) (A)
