I've Got A Tiger By The Tail 
 
 
(Chorus) 
 
A 
I've got a tiger by the tail 
	      D 
It's plain to see 
E					  A 
I won't be much when you get through with me 
					      D 
Well, I'm loosing weight and a turnin' mighty pale 
E				A 
Looks like I got a tiger by the tail 
 
 
Well, I thought the day I met you 
	 D 
You were meek as a lamb 
E				   A 
Just the kind to fit my dreams and plans 
But now the place we're livin' 
	  D 
Takes the wind from my sail 
E				   A 
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail 
 
 
(Repeat chorus) 
 
A 
Every night you drag me where 
    D 
The bright lights are found 
E			       A 
There ain't no way to slow you down 
			   D 
I'm about as helpless as a leaf in a gale 
    E				       A 
And looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
