Big Harlan Taylor

D


[Verse 1]

D                        G                    D
I once had a sweetheart the fairest of maidens
D                         E7                A7
She outshined all others that I'd known by far
D                          G                    D
I had me a friend big fella Named Big Harlan Taylor
D                         A7         D
Harlan had a rubber tired new shiny car


[Chorus]

G                    D              A          D
All the ways of the world and the wants of a woman
G                    D             A7          D
If I figured them all up it could take many years
D A D


[Verse 2]

D                        G                    D
By the wants of a woman she fell for Big Harlan
D                         E7                A7
I tried but in vain for to take my own life
D                          G                    D
Suddenly I had lost all my will to keep living
D                         A7         D
She'd lost her desire to become my young wife


[Chorus]

G                    D              A          D
All the ways of the world and the wants of a woman
G                    D             A7          D
If I figured them all up it could take many years
D A D


[Verse 3]

D                        G                    D
Well I wanted revenge and way laid for Big Harlan
D                         E7                A7
Then I started wondering what good would it do
D                       G                    D
If a rubber tired new shiny car's her ambition
D                         A7         D
And I just let her have it and Big Harlan too


[Chorus]

G                    D              A          D
All the ways of the world and the wants of a woman
G                    D             A7          D
If I figured them all up it could take many years
G                    D             A7          D
If I figured them all up ’twould take many years
