Intro: G F G 

  G 
I thought myself a happy woman 'til I fell in love with you 
                        C              D                          G 
My heart just bears the wear and tear, beats until it's black and blue 

And when I went down to old Leeroy Town and wore a hole in the cowboy boot 
                 C                   D           G       F   G 
Now your gone, I weep and moan those happy woman blues 

  G 
I take my pleasure in whisky, be as bad as I wanna be 
                    C                    D                         G 
I'm looking over my shoulder hoping that you'll be coming back for me 

Cause when you're going round just to lay me down, you better give me everything I need 
                                 C                D                   G      F   G 
As soon as you're gone I'm gonna cry alone, daddy why you gotta be so mean 

G 
Thought myself a happy woman 'til I fell in love with you 
                        C              D                          G 
My heart just bears the wear and tear, beats until it's black and blue 

And when I went down to old Leeroy Town, you wore a hole in the cowgirl boot 
                 C                   D           G       F   G 
Now your gone, I weep and moan those happy woman blues
