What A Way To Go
By Ray Kennedy

D
I met him in Seattle, belly’d up to a bottle
G                             D
Tellin’ lies in the Blue Moon Bar
    D                                                        
His face was hard and traveled, and as the lines unraveled
G                     A               D 
I saw a man who could laugh about his scars

Chorus:
              D
He said I got shanghaied in Vegas by a painted woman
                                A
I got hogtied by a hooker in Ohio
      D                            G
I got derailed by a dancer down in Dallas
         D                              A                 D 
He said “Women gonna be the death of me but what a way to go”

He said a girl named Nancy once tickled his fancy
And backed it up with a hundred dollar smile
He laughed about that Madam Rouex, she was into voodoo
A little weird but she always drove him wild

Chorus 2:
He said I got tongue tied by a teacher in Tallahassee
I got French fried by a waitress in Idaho
I got waylayed by a widow in Wyoming
He said “Women gonna be the death of me but what a way to go”

Repeat Chorus 1
