Along   came a bold deceiver,

He   sounded just like the real deal,
E      E          E          C#   A    F    F    E   D .G# .A   E
Now he's   whipped her and tore her until she is sore,

And   not even sure what she feels.

CHO   Life   just isn't   T — V,

            You'll recognize them near and far,
             E    D   .A   E      D   D    C       .G   E
            That Texas cad   by the name of Bush
             .G   .G         .A C .A .B    C    D   C
            And poor   innocent A - mer - i - ca.


Since he got her in his clutches,
She goes round unable to think,
Has dreadful nightmares and is losing her hair,
And turning to drugs, and drink,
The classic battered woman,
She's still defending the cur,
Now the cops are on to him, he'll go to his ruin,
But what will become of her?
