      Bm
There once was a woman, a strange kind of woman
     A               E7             Bm
The kind that gets written down in history
    Bm
Her name was Nancy, her face was nothing fancy
     A               E7            Bm
She left a trail of happiness and misery

I loved her, everybody loved her
She loved everyone and gave them good return
I tried to take her, I even tried to break her
She said I ain't for takin' won't you ever learn

Chorus:
  Bm
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
    A       E7         Bm
I spent my money as I took my turn
  Bm
I want you, I need you, I gotta be near you
 A             E7            Bm
Ooh I got a strange kind of woman

She looked like a raver but I could never please her
On Wednesday mornings boy you can't go far
I couldn't get her but things got better, she said
Saturday nights from now on baby you're my star

Chorus

G      D       A      Bm
Oooh... Oooh... Oooh... Oooh...
G      D       A      B
Oooh... Oooh... Oooh... Oooh...
  A              E7
Oooh my soul, I love you

Chorus

She finally said she loved me, I wed her in a hurry
No more callers and I glowed with pride
I'm dreaming, I feel like screaming
I won my woman just before she died

Chorus
