	  		Intro



Verse 1:
 
C                                                   F 
Livin’ and a-workin’ in the city, I thought I was a big girl 
      G                                        C 
Oh, I felt so smart, and my whole life I could choose 
                                                               F 
So, then smarty found herself a city-guy who one night said he loves her 
                      G                                         C 
And the next night he leaves her sittin’ with a bad case of the blues 



C                         F         Dm 
Yo-de-lay-dee-hee-hee-hee-hee, ha-a-ha 
     G                                         C     G 
If I really was a smart girl, I could turn him loose 
      C                   F         Dm 
Yo-de-lay-dee-hee-hee-hee-hoo, ha-a-ha 
           G                                           C 
Instead of sittin’ and a-cryin’ with a bad case of the blues

Verse 2:
 
C                                          F 
I took myself out to the country to see my mother 
                   G                                               C 
She said, “What no-good man has got my lovin’ little child’s heart sore” 
                                                                     F 
I said, “Momma, he tells me that he loves me and then he’s out with another 
                      G                                     C 
And he’s got me right down to the last square on the checkerboard.”

Little country girl’s done got hooked on a barbed wire love 
      C                   F         Dm 
Yo-de-lay-dee-hee-hoo-hoo-hoo, ha-a-ha 
        G                                         C 
And she can’t get loose from this bad case of the blues
