{Intro} Bm Bm/A Gmaj9 G Bm Bm/A Gmaj9 G {Verse 1} Bm D/A Gmaj9 G He was a good time, beer bar picker Bm D/A Gmaj9 G until the night she came along. Bm D/A Gmaj9 Em7 He gave up his women and his liquor D C(addD) Em7sus4 and she put the sad in all his songs. {Verse 2} Bm D/A Gmaj9 G Something about her made him sorry. Bm D/A Gmaj9 G She was holy in his eyes. Bm D/A Gmaj9 She had him bound and hypnotized. {Chorus - Variation 1} Em7 F#m7 Gmaj7 Dmaj9 F#m7 G She put the sad in all his songs. Em7 F#m7 Gmaj7 Dmaj9 F#m7 G She put the blues in his guitar. Em7 F#m7 Gmaj7 Dmaj9 F#m7 G She took what he had and she made it wrong. F#m G Em G D She put the sad in all his songs. {Verse 2} Bm D/A Gmaj9 G She was the rattlesnake that bit him. Bm D/A Gmaj9 G She was the blow from up behind. Bm D/A Cmaj9 Em7 She thought the tear in his eye just might fit him, D C(addD) Em7sus4 and he was the last thing on her mind. {Chorus - Variation 2} Dmaj9 F#m7 G She put the sad in all his songs. Em7 F#m7 Gmaj7 Dmaj9 F#m7 G She put the blues in his guitar. Em7 F#m7 Gmaj7 Dmaj9 F#m7 G She took what he had and she made it wrong. F#m G Em G D She put the sad in all his songs. {Repeat Chorus - Variation 2 and fade}
