Temptress Of Washington

	  		Intro chords 
G  C  G  C G  C  G  C 
 
      G                             C 
She's looking out on Broadway after working over time 
      G                                   C 
She's all dressed up and pretty and she's looking serpentine 
    G                                        C 
She says she only really wants to dance, But we all know it's not the circumstance 
      G                                 C 
Cause dancing ain't got what she really needs 
    G                                    C  
She shows her stuff in nightclubs on the south side every week 
       G                          C 
And to her it?s a religion but to me it sounds like greek 
    G                                           C 
She likes ?em pretty and she likes ?em tall and it just takes a little alcohol 
         G                                        C 
Then she chews ?em up and spits ?em out a quarter way 
Am                        C  
She's just blowing in the wind 
Am             B/C                 C            D 
She's lighting up her life and not trying to pretend 
                 G                  D 
But she's living wild, she's living free 
          Em                 C 
She's too easy all the boys agree 
               G            D 
And there's no need to reconcile  
                    Em                   C   
It?s just some more wood to throw on the fire 
         G                 D 
She only cares if it feels right 
                      Em                 C 
Now she's going down again on a Saturday night 
           G                              D 
Take my advice, watch where you're going, son 
                Em                  G    C   G 
Cause she's the temptress of Washington 

She wakes all hungover then tries to call her friends 
She asks what was I doin?, darling, where the hell I been 
But it?s all over, what?s done is done, and I really thought I could-a been the one 
Now try again about a man that tried to leave 
Yeah guys just look her over, they?re makin? jokes about her style 
She wants to fall in love even if just only for a little while 
But cheap drinks and charm seem to win her mind and John D's invitation to do the grind 
Oh baby, oh baby, your world's overflowing tonight  
But she's gotta be running along 
It seems a shame that right for her just seems so wrong 
 
Chorus 
 
 
Bridge: 
D        C                 G 
If we?re champions of this little universe 
D       C             G 
Son has sent me down, tell me just what?s worse 
      Em                                 C 
Wait around for things to change, buckle down and rearrange 
               Am                                      D 
It seems we?re pawns when we?re all kings in this here game 
 
 
Harmonica 
 
 
 
Her home life is just a nuisance and her nightlife is just a sin 
Maybe one day she'll walk the path of Mary Magdalene 
Oh, come on baby, there's still a chance, cause it ain't that bad to only dance 
Baby please stay uptown for just tonight 
She's just trying to stay cool 
I guess it feels good to be bad when you're breaking all the rules 
 
Chorus
