[Verse]
D5 C
Well in the early autumn wind a lonely dove is flyin'
D5 C D5
Mournin' for his one true love, he can't be blamed for cryin'
C D5
He can't be blamed for cryin'
D5 C
Well the rooster he got twenty gals, bet he's happy as a lark
D5 C D5
Well he wake 'em in the mornin' time, put 'em all to bed at dark
C D5
Put 'em all to bed at dark
[Chorus]
D5
Well if you've been true
D5
Well if you've been true
C
You better look me in the eye
D5
Well all I smell is cheap perfume
D5 C D5
And gin, and smoke, and lies

[Verse]
D5 C
Well where were you last Saturday all dressed up so pretty?
D5 C D5
With your blue-eyed ballroom boy in Oklahoma City
C D5
In Oklahoma City
D5 C
Well a spade is made for diggin' dirt and an axe is made for choppin'
D5 C D5
And darlin' my heart's hard as nails they hammer in a hardwood coffin
C D5
In a hardwood coffin
[Chorus]
D5
Well if you've been true

Well if you've been true
C
You better look me in the eye

[Verse]
D5 C
Well way down in the bottom land a big black crow is laughin'
D5 C D5
No one never goes down there wonder what has happened
C D5
Wonder what has happened
D5 C
And in the early Autumn wind a lonely dove is flyin'
D5 C D5
Mournin' for his one true love, he can't be blamed for cryin'
C D5
He can't be blamed for cryin'
[Chorus]
D5
Well if you've been true
D5
Well if you've been true
C
You better look me in the eye
D5
Well all I smell is cheap perfume
D5 C D5
And gin, and smoke, and lies
D5
Well if you've been true
D5
Well if you've been true
C
You better look me in the eye
D5
Well all I smell is cheap perfume
D5 C D5
And gin, and smoke, and lies
D5 C D5
And gin, and smoke, and lies
