[INTRO]
[C] [F] [C] [G] [C]
[C]She was a waitress in a [F]west Texas dance hall.
[C]I was a cowboy with a [G]throat full of [C]sand.
[C]I called her, "Honey," when[F] she brought my whiskey,
And [C]later I left there [G]holding her [C]hand.
[C]Then we walked down the street to [F]a tumble-down hotel,
[C]Where she had a room on a [G]cold second [C]floor.
[C]And that room looked like hell just a [F]bed and a table,
[C]A shade on the window and a [G]lock on the [C]door.
[G]I said to myself, "She's [F]cheap and she's easy,
But she [C]don't look half bad, I'll stay for the [G]night.
[C]But I'll leave when it's early [F]cause I've got this feeling,
[C]She won't look so good in the [G]bright morning [C]light."
( Instrumental break featuring harmonica. )
[C] [F] [C] [G] [C]
[C]Yeah, I've known some devils and [F]I've known some angels,
[C]I once had a woman on the [G]Mexico [C]line.
[C]But I've never been touched like [F]that woman touched me,
[C]She lay there beside me and [G]crawled in my [C]mind. [A]
[D]And we talked and we smoked and [G]made love till mornin',
[D]The sun came a streamin' through a [A]hole in the [D]shade.
[D]And it fell like a spotlight on her [G]face and her body,
[D]And it hung like a halo 'round the [A]bed where we [D]lay.
[A]I said to myself, "She's [G]cheap and she's easy,
But she [D]don't look half bad, I guess I'll stay for the [A]night.
[D]But I'll tell you boys that was five years ago, an[G]', Lord, God, what a woman!
[D]She still looks as good in the [A]bright morning [D]light
