Version 1 Version 2
CHORUS:
E A
I've got a tiger by the tail it's plain to see
B7 E B7
I won't be much when you get through with me
E A
Well I'm a losing weight and I'm turning mighty pale
B7 E
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail.
VERSE 1:
E A
Well I thought the day I met you, you were meek as a lamb
B7 E B7
Just the kind to fit my dreams and plans
E A
Now the pace we're livin' takes the wind from my sails,
B7 E
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
REPEAT CHORUS
GUITAR SOLO:
E A B7 E // E A B7 E B7 E
VERSE 2:
E A
Well every night you drag me where the bright lights're found
B7 E B7
There ain't no way to slow you down
E A
I'm as 'bout as helpless as a leaf in a gale,
B7 E
and it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
REPEAT CHORUS
