[Verse]

     D5                                        C
Well in the early autumn wind a lonely dove is flyin'
D5                                          C          D5
Mournin' for his one true love, he can't be blamed for cryin'
            C          D5
He can't be blamed for cryin'

         D5                                              C
Well the rooster he got twenty gals, bet he's happy as a lark
        D5                                           C      D5
Well he wake 'em in the mornin' time, put 'em all to bed at dark
               C      D5
Put 'em all to bed at dark


[Chorus]

                   D5
Well if you've been true
                   D5
Well if you've been true
                          C
You better look me in the eye
           D5             
Well all I smell is cheap perfume
    D5       C          D5
And gin, and smoke, and lies

[Verse]

     D5                                             C
Well where were you last Saturday all dressed up so pretty?
D5                                     C     D5
With your blue-eyed ballroom boy in Oklahoma City
      C     D5
In Oklahoma City

       D5                                                    C
Well a spade is made for diggin' dirt and an axe is made for choppin'
            D5                                        C        D5
And darlin' my heart's hard as nails they hammer in a hardwood coffin
     C        D5
In a hardwood coffin


[Chorus]

                    D5
Well if you've been true
                    D5
Well if you've been true
                          C
You better look me in the eye
           D5             
Well all I smell is cheap perfume
    D5       C          D5
And gin, and smoke, and lies

[Verse]

     D5                                              C
Well way down in the bottom land a big black crow is laughin'
D5                                  C        D5
No one never goes down there wonder what has happened
       C        D5
Wonder what has happened

    D5                                        C
And in the early Autumn wind a lonely dove is flyin'
D5                                          C          D5
Mournin' for his one true love, he can't be blamed for cryin'
            C          D5
He can't be blamed for cryin'


[Chorus]

                    D5
Well if you've been true
                    D5
Well if you've been true
                          C
You better look me in the eye
           D5             
Well all I smell is cheap perfume
    D5       C          D5
And gin, and smoke, and lies

                    D5
Well if you've been true
                    D5
Well if you've been true
                          C
You better look me in the eye
           D5             
Well all I smell is cheap perfume
    D5       C          D5
And gin, and smoke, and lies
    D5       C          D5
And gin, and smoke, and lies
