AmAmAmAm
There was a thickset man with frog eyes who was standing at the door
GGGG
And a little bald man with wing nut ears was waiting in the car
FGDG
Well, Robert Moore passed the frog-eyed man as he walked into the bar
AmAmAmAm
And Betty Coltrane, she jumped under her table
[Verse 2]
AmAmAmAm
"What's your pleasure?", asked the barman, he had a face like boiled meat
GGGG
"There's a girl called Betty Coltrane that I have come to see"
FGDG
"But I ain't seen that girl 'round here for more than a week"
AmAmAmAm
And Betty Coltrane, she had hid beneath the table
[Verse 3]
AmAmAmAm
Well, then in came a sailor with mermaids tattooed on his arms
GGGG
Followed by the man with the wing nut ears who was waitin' in the car
FGDG
Well, Robert Moore sensed trouble, he'd seen it comin' from afar
AmAmAmAm
And Betty Coltrane, she gasped beneath the table
[Verse 4]
AmAmAmAm
Ah well, the sailor said, "I'm looking for my wife, they call her Betty Coltrane"
GGGG
And the frog-eyed man said, "That can't be, that's my wife's maiden name"
FGDG
And the man with the wing nut ears said, "Hey, I married her back in Spain"
AmAmAmAm
And Betty Coltrane crossed herself beneath the table
[Verse 5]
AmAmAmAm
Well, Robert Moore stepped up and said, "That woman is my wife"
GGGG
And he drew a silver pistol and a wicked bowie knife
FGDG
And he shot the man with the wing nut ears straight between the eyes
AmAmAmAm
And Betty Coltrane, she moaned under the table
[Verse 6]
AmAmAmAm
Ah well, the frog-eyed man jumped at Robert Moore who stabbed him in the chest
GGGG
And as Mr. Frog-Eyes died he said, "Betty, you're the girl that I loved best"
FGDG
Then the sailor pulled a razor, Robert blasted it to bits
AmAmAmAm
"And Bettyyy, I know you're under the table"
[Verse 7]
AmAmAmAm
"Well, have no fear," said Robert Moore, "I do not wanna hurt you"
GGGG
"Never a woman did I love me half as much as you"
FGDG
"You're the blessed sun, the meek girl, and you are the sacred moon"
AmAmAmAm
And Betty shot his legs out from under the table
[Verse 8]
AmAmAmAm
Well, Robert Moore went down heavy with a crash upon the floor
GGGG
And over to his thrashin' body, Betty Coltrane, she did crawl
FGDG
She put the gun to the back of his head and pulled the trigger once more
AmAmAmAm
And blew his brains out all over the table
[Verse 9]
AmAmAmAm
Well, Betty stood up and shook her head and waved the smoke away
GGGG
Said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Barman, to leave your place this way"
FGDG
As she emptied out their wallets she said, "I'll collect my severance pay"
AmAmAmAm
Then she winked and threw a dollar on the table
