Capo on 1st fret

I've Got A Tiger By The Tail


(Chorus)

A
I've got a tiger by the tail
	      D
It's plain to see
E					  A
I won't be much when you get through with me
					      D
Well, I'm loosing weight and a turnin' mighty pale
E				A
Looks like I got a tiger by the tail


Well, I thought the day I met you
	 D
You were meek as a lamb
E				   A
Just the kind to fit my dreams and plans
But now the place we're livin'
	  D
Takes the wind from my sail
E				   A
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail


(Repeat chorus)

A
Every night you drag me where
    D
The bright lights are found
E			       A
There ain't no way to slow you down
			   D
I'm about as helpless as a leaf in a gale
    E				       A
And looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
