F                                               Bb
She had a rag-top Eldorado, "tuck-in-roll" pleat
              F                                                     Bb  F
She picked me up in Colorado...and put me right in the drivers seat
F                                               Bb
I said "I got no money...you know I got no job"
            F                                                Bb  F 
She said "I tell you what honey...let's find a place to rob"
        Bb                                                                             
Now the man at the station's name was Jim, I saw it sewed on his shirt
            Bb                                                          B  C
I told him "do what I say...you'll live another day, nobody's gotta get hurt"
 

Chorus:
         F
It was a crime of passion
    F                                            Bb
She took me by the heart when she took me by the hand
F
Crime of passion
  F                     Bb    C   F 
A beautiful woman and a desperate man
   
 
Well I thought the thing was over, she was countin' the cash
When an unmarked Chevy Nova, made the blue lights flash
She said "officer?  Would you help me please?"
I looked at her and she was pointin' at me
You see Jim at the station played his part, he talked a little perjury
He went to great pains to leave out a name, he was a future ex-husband, can't you see?
   
Chorus
 
 
Now the cop at the station's name was Joe, saw it on his badge on his shirt
He said "you'll never get away, just do what we say, nobody's gotta get hurt."
