[G] Well, in the early autumn when the lonely dove is [F] flying,
[G] Mourning for his one true love, he can't [F] be blamed [G] for crying,
[C] He can't be blamed [G] for crying.
Well, the rooster, he got twenty gals, well, he's happy [F] as a lark,
[G] But he wake up in the morning time, [F] put them [G] all to bed at dark,
Put them [F] all to [Gm] bed at dark.
Well, if you've been through, well, if you've been through,
You better look me in the [F] eye,
For all [G] I smell is cheap perfume, and gin, [F] and smoke, [A] and [G] lies.

Well, where were you last Saturday, all dressed [F] up so pretty,
[G] With your blue-eyed ballroom boy, in [F] Oklahoma [G] City, in [G] Oklahoma City?
Well, a [Gm] spade is made for digging dirt, and an axe is [F] made for chopping,
And [G] darlin', my heart's hardened as a [Dm] hammer [F] in a [G] hardwood coffin,
In [Am] a [G] hardwood coffin.
[Gm] Well, if you've been through, well, if you've been through,
[G] You better look [Gm] me [F] in the eye,
[G] For all I smell [Gm] [G] is cheap perfume, [Gm]
[G] and gin, [F] and [Gm] smoke, and lies.

Well, we're way down in the bottom land, a big [F] black crow is [C] laughing,
[G] No one ever goes down there, [F] wonder what [G] has happened, [Am] wonder [G] what has happened.
And in the early autumn, when the lonely dove [F] is [G] flying,
Morning fog's worn through, love, it [F] can't be blamed [G] for crime,
It can't be blamed for crime.
Well, if you've been [Gm] through, well, if you've been through,
You better look me in [F] the eye,
[Gb] For all [G] I smell is cheap perfume, [Gm]
and [G] gin, [F] and smoke, [Gm] and lies.
Well, if you've been through, well, if you've been through,
You better look me [G] in the eye,
[Am] For [Gm] all I smell [G] is cheap perfume, and [Dm] gin, and smoke, [Gm] and lies.
[G] And gin, [F] and [Gm] smoke, and lies.
