(Capo +4)
Intro: 2x C G Dm F C G6 C G6 C
1.
C G Dm F C G6 C G6 C
oh lady fair your stranglin’ hair ribbons round my tongue
C G Dm F C G6 C C7
I try to speak but my thoughts grow weak for all the yarns you’ve spun
G Dm F C G6 C G6
I heard them say that evil may walk in beauty’s shoes
C G Dm F C G6 C G6 C
well if ever I could love myself then I’ll stop loving you
2.
C G Dm F C G6 C G6 C
were you out the other night flirting with all my friends
C G Dm F C G C C7
I heard you told a joke or two with my name at the end
G Dm F C G6 C
hurry home I sit in stone tell me it just ain’t true
C G Dm F C G C G6 C
well if ever I could love myself then I’ll stop loving you

3.
C G Dm F C G6 C G6 C
when you’re gone I’ll carry on it was never meant to last
C G Dm F C G C C7
and I’d much prefer to sit alone and drink about the past
G Dm F C G C
or so I say some how some way till I believe its true
C G Dm F C G6 C G6 C
well if ever I could love myself then I’ll stop loving you
