[G]       [Em]      [Am]      [D]       x 2

To [G]break your heart into pieces
is [Em]what I’m here to do
[Am]I’ve got nothing but trouble, babe
[D]in store for you
I’ve got [G]one eye on the main chance
[Em]one hand behind your back
and [Am]you just stumbled blind babe
[D]right into my track

Chores:
And that’s when you [G]fell so [Em]low
[Am]Everybody takes a tumble, don’t you [D]know
That’s when you [G]fell so [Em]low
[Am]Pick yourself off the floor, before you [D]go

There’s [G]vengeance in my belly
[Em]slime on both my shoes
and [Am]everything bad that you ever heard
about [D]little old me is true
My [G]trigger finger is itchy
my [Em]humour is black
and [Am]you just stumbled blind babe
[D]right into my track

Chores:
And that’s when you [G]fell so [Em]low
[Am]Everybody takes a tumble, don’t you [D]know
That’s when you [G]fell so [Em]low
[Am]Pick yourself off the floor, before you [D]go

Now the [G]devil drives a hard bargain
[Em]Preacher burns his hands
[Am]Fireman makes gives a sermon
[D]Lord surveys his lands
[G]Huck Finn just went out for sticks
[Em]He ain’t coming back
and [Am]you just stumbled blind babe
[D]right into my track

Chores:
And that’s when you [G]fell so [Em]low
[Am]Everybody takes a tumble, don’t you [D]know
That’s when you [G]fell so [Em]low
[Am]Pick yourself off the floor, before you [D]go

[G]       [Em]      [Am]      [D]       x 2

[G]brushes is back in the ballrooms
[Em]fellows in my aim
[Am]Sinéad O'Connor is the guest of honor
[D]And the blades are little played
Oh [G]Van Morrison is maoning
[Em]Something about a copy cat
And [Am]you just stumbled blind babe
[D]right into my track

Chores:

[G]And that’s when you fell so low
[Am]Everybody takes a tumble, don’t you [D]know
That’s when you [G]fell so [Em]low
[Am]Pick yourself off the floor, before you [D]go

[G]       [Em]      [Am]      [D]       x 2

[G]Faces start a-shining
[Em]flags begin to sway
Would [Am]you believe I came a long distance
Just to [D]be with you today
Your [G]crooked partner
[Em]he just got the sack
and [Am]you just stumbled blind babe
[D]right into my track

Chores:

[G]And that’s when you fell so low
[Am]Everybody takes a tumble, don’t you [D]know
That’s when you [G]fell so [Em]low
[Am]Pick yourself off the floor, before you [D]go

[G]       [Em]      [Am]      [D]       x 4
