KRIS KRISTOFFERSON - The Taker guitar chord

#

************* THE TAKER *************

written by Kris Kristofferson & Shel Shilverstein

performed by Kris Kristofferson.

Capo on the 1st fret.

Verse 1:

A

He's a giver,he'll give her

E7

The kind of attention that she's never known

He's a helper,he'll help her

A

To open the doors that she can't on her own

He's a lover,he'll love her

D

In ways that she never has been loved before

E7

And he's a getter,he'll get her

A

By gettin' her into the world she's been hungerin' for

Verse 2:

A

He's a charmer,and he'll charm her

E7

With money and manners that i never learned

He's a leader,and he'll lead her

A

Across pretty bridges he's planning to burn

He's a talker,he'll talk her

D

Right of her feet,but he won't talk for long

E7

Cause he's a doer,and he'll do her

The way that i never

A

And damned if he won't do her wrong

Chorus:

D

And he's s taker,he'll take her

E7

To places and make her fly higher than she's ever dared to

He'll take this time before takin' advantage

A

Takin' her easy and slow

D

And after he's taken her body and soul

E7

That she gives him,he'll take her for granted

Then he'll take off and leave her

A

Takin' all of her pride as he goes

Chorus.
