F                 C             F 
When I got home I found my baby away 
A7                                                Bb 
Yeah a lil' piece of paper said she'd gone out to play 
Bb 
I know the river's done gone dry 
F                     Dm 
She's trapped another fly 
Bb                         C                 F 
I got nuthin' to do, but a few more words to say 



C                    Bb 
I got the mean woman blues 
F 
Lord knows i'd lose 
G                                   C 
I just can't seem to get her off my mind 
Bb 
She's an all night rockin' mother 
F            Dm 
Lord knows I love her 
Bb                  C                F 
She's leavin' me to ramble on up the line 


When she moved in I kissed the blues goodbye 
She lit my torch and left the furnace on high 
Lord the money that I paid 
For that livin', lovin', maid 
Now she left me here 
to grieve on and cry 

Chorus x1 

If you hear my song, you know just what I mean 
Lord I think it's all just apart of the woman scheme 
If you're buyin what she sells 
She'll run you straight to hell 
Captivate your mind and pick your truths so clean
