There were no chords for this so I put some together! No tabs or riffs, just a
little something to start with.

Oh she?d drag me out with spurs
C
Into the candlelight
G
She did.
C
And she rode me like the bull
C
In some honky-tonk
GD
She did, oh yes she did
Am
But she?d never had to worry
C
About the dwindling of dollars
G
Or how life could strike out iron spite
D
And crush you without warning
AmCD
But I did, Lo-Lord I surely did.
Am
And I was bold when I first met her
CG
Enamored with all the things that she did
Am
Oh but then something crept into me
CGD
It was a blackness I hated and I so deeply hid
Am
But I was jealous and concerned
C
Like some damn beast and she was beauty
G
Thought some dashing man would sweep her up
D
And bury me in torment
AmCD
Yes, I did, though I ain?t too proud of it
C
Oh was I speaking holy tongues?
D
Or withdrawing from you?
EmGD
Did a plague of sinking feelings leave me speaking in half-truths?
CG
Oh I do not have the stomach to repair these gaping wounds
AmCG
I?ll take my share of the blame for all the things I did.
GDACGDADAmC
So now our castle gates are broken
CG
The wreckage is the price for what we did
C
Oh yeah that girl she was my lover
CGD
Now she is a stranger in the land in which I live
AmC
Oh ain?t it funny how far we travel in the company of friends
GD
Yet somehow the times we share but fill our faces with regret?
AmCD
Oh, I hate it, though I feel it must be said.
C
Oh was I speaking holy tongues?
D
Or withdrawing from you?
EmGD
Did a plague of sinking feelings leave me speaking in half-truths?
CG
Oh I do not have the stomach to repair these gaping wounds
AmCG
I?ll take my share of the blame for all the things I did.
