Roving Woman Tabulatur von Connie Converse

Schlagmuster: du-du-du-du

F      Dm    Gm     C
People say a roving woman
F         Dm        A#               C
is likely not to be better than she ought to be;
Am          Dm     G
so, when I stray away from where I’ve got to be,
Gm             C        F
someone always takes me home.
 
C            G        C         G
A lady never should habituate saloons,
C                   Dm              Em        Dm
and that is where I find myself on many afternoons.
C               Dm           C       F
But just as I begin to blow away the foam,
Em               Eb7            G        C
someone tips his hat to me and takes me home.
 
F      Dm    Gm     C
People say a roving woman
F         Dm        A#              C
is likely not to be better than she ought to be;
Am          Dm     G
so, when I stray away from where I’ve got to be,
Gm             C        F
someone always takes me home.
 
C               G      C              G
Now, poker is a game a lady shouldn’t play,
C                  Dm               Em                Dm
and every floatin’ poker game just seems to float my way.
C                    Dm             C        F
But long before I’ve lost a thing besides my comb,
Em               Eb7             G        C
someone tips his hand to me and takes me home.
 
F         Dm       Gm     C
Don’t see why they always do it
F        Dm      A#               C
can’t be vanity; must be sheer humanity
Am              Dm     G
when some kind soul remarks with great urbanity:
Gm            C        F
'Lady, let me take you home.'
 
C                           G       C           G
Of course, there’s bound to be some little aftermath
C                     Dm              Em                  Dm
that makes a pleasant ending for the straight and narrow path.
C              Dm               C       F
And as I go to sleep, I cannot help but think
Em                 Eb7               G         C
how glad I am that I was saved from cards and drink.
 
F      Dm    Gm     C
People say a roving woman
F         Dm        A#               C
is likely not to be better than she ought to be;
Am          Dm             G
so, when I stray, there’s positively got to be
Gm               C       F
someone there to take me home.
