Criticism is encouraged.
This is my first Lofgren tab that I’ve done. The Cadd9 chord and C chord
at the end of
first 2 verses I’m not sure about, but it sounds good. The second half
after the first
verses I obtained a part or two I couldn’t pick out from shinesilently.com.

[G][E]Then[D] [G]comes[G] [E]in [D][G]the [E]rest[D] [Bm]of [E]song [G][E][D]after [G]that[E] [D]for[E] [G]the [G][E][D][G][Cmaj7]intro.[Cadd9][C]

You used to leave your scent (G E D G)
On his whiskey soaked collar (G E D G)
You both would paint the town (E D Bm E)
Drink up his very last dollar (G E D G)
Then you loved him for fun (E D E G)
And rode away when it was done (G E D G)
Now he's confused and I know why (Cmaj7 C Cadd9 D)
Man, wipe that mud from your eye (G E D G)
Oh, it ain't like rain (G E D G)
Remember lively little Richard (G E D G)
When his band was playing in town (G E D G)
You were in need of attention (E D Bm E)
So he thought he'd take you on down (G E D G)
And there you first saw me (E D E G)
And realized you were no longer free (G E D G)
'Cause true love good girls can't deny (Cmaj7 C Cadd9 D)
It comes and goes like mud in your eye (G E D G)
[F]Sometimes a victim can run
[Am]But not when both have been won
[D][C]And [D]I ain't no stranger
[C]Once you could thrill me
[Am]Now I'm the jury
[D]And you'll be a cinch to convict
[Em][F#m]Your [E][A]boy's gonna make the great escape
[A][F#m]While [E][A]you're laid bare on the ground
[A][F#m]This [E][C#m][F#m]vengeance had to end in crime
[F#m]I [A][F#m]built [E]you [A]up to shoot you down
[A][F#m]You [E]know[F#m] I'm[E] usually not that kind
[E][A]But [F#m]you [E][A]didn't know he was a brother of mine
[A][Dmaj7]I'll just laugh if you cry
[E]Now ain't that mud in your eye
[A] [F#m] [E] [A]
