Refrão -------------
A
I've got a tiger by the tail
D
It's plain to see
E A
I won't be much when you get through with me
D
Well, I'm loosing weight and a turnin' mighty pale
E A
Looks like I got a tiger by the tail
--------------------
Well, I thought the day I met you
D
You were meek as a lamb
E A
Just the kind to fit my dreams and plans
But now the place we're livin'
D
Takes the wind from my sail
E A
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
(Repeat chorus)
A
Every night you drag me where
D
The bright lights are found
E A
There ain't no way to slow you down
D
I'm about as helpless as a leaf in a gale
E A
And looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
