(D) (A) (Bm) (D7) (G) (A) (D) (A)
(D)Mother Out(A)law´s been (Bm)giving me (D7)jaw,

(D)I know (A)you´ve been (Bm)living in (D7)sin,
Got your (G)backside (A)out to the (D)world."(D7)
But an (G)all-(A)time (D)woman,(Bm)
Ah, you (G)don´t need a (F#m)preacher to (E)know(A)
That an (G)all-(A)time (D)woman(Bm)
Keeps you (E)ready for the (G)rock´n (D)roll,(D/C#)(Bm)(hold)
Oh, (G)ready for the (A)rock´n (G)roll.
Now a (D)one-night (A)stand for a (Bm)guitar (D7)man
Is (G)easy when the (A)road gets (D)boring,(A)
But (D)Holiday (A)Inns and the (Bm)two-dollar (D7)gin
Can (G)sure look (A)bad in the (D)morning.(D7)
Oh, an (G)all-(A)time (D)woman(Bm)
Is the (G)best damn (F#m)friend I (E)know,(A)
Oh, an (G)all-(A)time (D)woman(Bm)
Keeps you (E) ready for the (G)rock´n (D)roll,(D/C#)(Bm)(hold)

(D)Feeding their (A)eyes on your (Bm)sweet young (D7)thighs
Pre(G)tending, yeah, that (A)you don´t (D)know.(D7)
But an (G)all-(A)time (D)woman,(Bm)

More than background music.

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year......more
