Capo 1st Fret (to match original recording)

Intro: (D) (D6) (D7) (D6) (D) (D6) (D7) (D6) (D) (D) (D) (D)

We were (D) playin' out in Vegas when this lady pressed her way up to the stage 
I forgot what I was singin' when she met me with her meet-me-later gaze 
When she (G) threw it on my (G7) mic stand I (G) figured they were (G7) probably double-(D)D's 
That might make for a good (C) story man
But that (G/B) don't make it easy lovin' (D) me 

One time I met one of my heroes and he made me feel real good that I was there
'Cause whatever he was smokin' man it had me spinnin' circles in my chair
I fell asleep on his bus in Texas but I woke up in Memphis, Tennessee
That might make for a good story man
But that don't make it easy lovin' me

  But I got a (D) woman (C) (G/B)
  Let me tell you that she's (D) somethin' (C) (G/B)
  You won't catch me doin' (D) nothin' (C) (G/B)
  To ever make her wanna (A7) leave
  She (C) knows how much I love her man
  But that (G7) don't make it easy lovin' (D) me

(SOLO)

When you're livin' on a bus and you fill it up with a bunch of real good timin' boys
Mix in applause and alcohol and honky tonks you know we're bound to make some noise
But this rake-and-ramblin' life helps me write the kind of songs I wanna sing
'Cause it makes for real good stories man
But that don't make it easy lovin' me

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Yeah she (C) knows how much I love her man
But that (G7) don't make it easy lovin' (D) me

(FADE OUT)
