Willie Nelson - Tiger By The Tail Chords

[Intro]
C  F  G  C
 
 
[Chorus]
C                                           F
I've got a tiger by the tail, it's plain to see
  G7                                      C G
I won't be much when you get through with me
        C                                    F
And I'm losing weight and I'm turning mighty pale
       G7                                 C
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
 
 
[Verse 1]
C                                     F
I thought the day I met you, you were meek as a lamb
G                                  C     G
Just the kind to fit my dreams and plans
C                                   F
Now the pace we're living takes the wind from my sails
       G                                  C
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
 
 
[Chorus]
C                                           F
I've got a tiger by the tail, it's plain to see
  G7                                      C G
I won't be much when you get through with me
        C                                    F
And I'm losing weight and I'm turning mighty pale
        G7                                 C
God, it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail

[Verse 2]
C                                      F
Wеll every night you drag me whеre the bright lights are found
G7                             C    G
There ain't no way to slow you down
C                             F
I'm as 'bout as helpless as a leaf in a gale
       G7                                 C
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
 
 
[Out-Chorus]
C                                           F
I've got a tiger by the tail, it's plain to see
  G7                                      C G
I won't be much when you get through with me
        C                                    F
And I'm losing weight and I'm turning mighty pale
       G7                                 C
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
