Dance Me To Death

(A)  (A)  (A)  (A)  (E)

             A
She tried to dance me to death
D               A
I'm slap out of breath
Lord, that woman's killin' me
    B7                    E
I'm looking for Donna and Seth
               A
I said, "Ya'll got to get me away from this girl
       D               D7
If you don't I'm gonna die"
           A
They said, "why"
                                     E           A
And I said, "That dagum Beth's gonna dance me to death"

A
Donna and Seth's some ex-friends of mine
            D                 A
That talked me out on a blind date
She worked with a girl named Beth Darnell
           B7                  E
That had a body that could not wait
   A
We picked up Beth at her mama's house
        D                   B7
Met her mama, her daddy was dead
A
Beth had a face like a Wanted poster
      E
And a gallon of moose on her head
   A
We wound up at the Cowboy Heaven
       D                 A
And we hadn't got in the door
She grabbed me by the forearm
    B7                    E
And drug me out on the fl oor
   A
We danced to thirty-seven songs in a row
      D               B7
Never done that in my life
A
We cut the rug like a carpet installer
       E            A
With a dull utility knife
             A
She tried to dance me to death
D               A
I'm slap out of breath
Lord, that woman's killin' me
    B7                    E
I'm looking for Donna and Seth
               A
I said, "Ya'll got to get me away from this girl
       D               D7
If you don't I'm gonna die"
           A
They said, "why"
                                     E           A
And I said, "That dagum Beth's gonna dance me to death"
**key change**
B
I got honky-tonk twisted
           E                         B
Till I was sweatin' right through my clothes
I need a towel, a beer, and bathroom rug
       C#            F#
And my feet need Dr. Schoal's
   B
We danced to everything the band could play
         E            C#
And some stuff off TN N
  B
I swore if this 2-step ever stopped
    F#             B
I'd never 2-step a gain
**key change**
             A
She tried to dance me to death
D               A
I'm slap out of breath
Lord, that woman's killin' me
    B7                    E
I'm looking for Donna and Seth
               A
I said, "Ya'll got to get me away from this girl
       D               D7
If you don't I'm gonna die"
           A
They said, "why"
                                     E           A
And I said, "That dagum Beth's gonna dance me to death"
**key change**
B
I woke up in the parking lot
        E             B
And the ambulance was there
Staring at me was an EMT
      C#                F#
And a cowboy in a wheel chair
  B
I asked what happened
                  E                B
And the EMT, said "I'll give you a hint
Son, you have just been the victim
     F#               B
Of a freak dance acci dent"
          B
Well, the cowboy looks at me
                    E                          B
And said, "Beth Dar nell" - I said, "how'd you know"
Me and Beth was married a year
I quit walkin' six months ago
**key change**
             A
She tried to dance me to death
D               A
I'm slap out of breath
Lord, that woman's killin' me
    B7                    E
I'm looking for Donna and Seth
               A
I said, "Ya'll got to get me away from this girl
       D               D7
If you don't I'm gonna die"
           A
They said, "why"
                                     E
And I said, "That dagum Beth's gonna dance me...
                       A
Dance me...dance me to death"
