Dm I wonder where you are tonight A7 You're probably on the rampage somewhere F You have been known to take delight in G7 Gettin' in somebody's hair A#7 And you always had the knack A7 Dm A7 Fade to black Bet you already made a pass I see a darkened room somewhere You run your finger round the rim of his glass Run your fingers through his hair They scratch across his back Fade to black Well maybe it's all for the best But I wish I'd never been lassooed And maybe it's some kind of test But I wish I'd never been tattooed Or been to hell and back Fade to black You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA7  A#7  Dm  F  G7  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
