             C#m
If never I’d met you
                   B
I’d never have to see you cry
               C#m       D#m
If not for the first hello,
     E            F#       B
I’d never have to say goodbye
             C#m
If never I’d held you
                   B
My feelings would never show
                  C#m
It’s time I start walking,
D#m           E                   F#     B
Girl there’s so much that you’ll never know
I keep telling you

Hard luck woman

Rags, the sailor’s only daughter
                E
A child of the water
     F#             B
Too proud to be a Queen
B                         C#m
Rags, I really love you I can’t forget about you
             E    D#m   C#m
You’ll be a hard luck woman
 E             F#        B
Baby ‘til you find your man

Before I go, let me kiss you
And wipe the tears from your eyes
I don't wanna hurt you, girl
You know I could never lie

I keep telling you, hard luck woman
You ain't a hard luck woman
You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, 'til you find your man

Chorus:
Rags, a sailor's only daughter
A child of the water
Too proud to be a queen
Rags, I really love ya
I can't forget about ya
You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, 'til you find your man
You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, 'til you find your man

Oh yeah, bye-bye, so long, don't cry
I'm just packing my bags, whoa, leaving you
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, baby, don't cry
I gotta keep on movin', yeah, movin'
Bye-bye, my baby
Ooh, don't cry, lady, oh
