	  		Intro (A)  (A)  (A)  (A)  (E) 
 
She tried to (A) dance me to death 
(D) I'm slap out of (A) breath 
Lord, that woman's killin' me 
I'm (B7) looking for Donna and (E) Seth 
I said, "Ya'll (A) got to get me away from this girl 
If you (D) don't I'm gonna (D7) die" 
They said, (A) "why" 
And I said, "That dagum Beth's gonna (E) dance me to (A) death" 
 
(A) Donna and Seth's some ex-friends of mine 
That talked (D) me out on a blind (A) date 
She worked with a girl named Beth Darnell 
That had a (B7) body that could not (E) wait 
We (A) picked up Beth at her mama's house 
Met her (D) mama, her daddy was (B7) dead 
(A) Beth had a face like a Wanted poster 
And a (E) gallon of moose on her head 
We (A) wound up at the Cowboy Heaven 
And we (D) hadn't got in the (A) door 
She grabbed me by the forearm 
And (B7) drug me out on the fl(E)oor 
We (A) danced to thirty-seven songs in a row 
Never (D) done that in my (B7) life 
(A) We cut the rug like a carpet installer 
With a (E) dull utility (A) knife 
 
She tried to (A) dance me to death 
(D) I'm slap out of (A) breath 
Lord, that woman's killin' me 
I'm (B7) looking for Donna and (E) Seth 
I said, "Ya'll (A) got to get me away from this girl 
If you (D) don't I'm gonna (D7) die" 
They said, (A) "why" 
And I said, "That dagum Beth's gonna (E) dance me to (A) death" 
 
**key change** 
 
(B) I got honky-tonk twisted 
Till I was (E) sweatin' right through my (B) clothes 
I need a towel, a beer, and bathroom rug 
And my (C#) feet need Dr. (F#) Schoal's 
We (B) danced to everything the band could play 
And some (E) stuff off TN(C#)N 
I (B) swore if this 2-step ever stopped 
I'd (F#) never 2-step a(B)gain

(B) I woke up in the parking lot 
And the (E) ambulance was (B) there 
Staring at me was an EMT 
And a (C#) cowboy in a wheel(F#)chair 
I (B) asked what happened 
And the EMT, said (E) "I'll give you a (B) hint 
Son, you have just been the victim 
Of a (F#) freak dance acci(B)dent" 
Well, the (B) cowboy looks at me  
And said, "Beth Dar(E)nell" - I said, "how'd you (B) know" 
(No Chord) Me and Beth was married a year 
I quit walkin' six months ago
