[A]Out from St.Louis I wasn't choosy

Lookin' for a place to [D]lay down my [C]load
[A]I met a lady..a Shady Lady and someone told her I was [D]all on my [C]own
[A]She poured a beer and said "When I'm finished here hang around
'Cause I'm [D]taking you [C]home
[G]Don't worry I'll [Bb]treat you all [F]right
[G]don't worry you can [Bb]stay all [F]night"
[G]I thought it was any [Bb]easy [F]ride but
[C]I didn't know where I [E]was till I got in[A]side
[A]She said OK sonny give me your money
And don't start any [D]foolin' a[C]round
[A]I said What?.. I said What don't you think
You're turning [D]me upside [C]down
[A]She I don't care I've been everywhere
And I've not been [D]looking for [C]you
[A]But I'll take you in and give you a spin
You'll know some tricks by the [D]time we get [C]through
