D G D I was sittin' in this five star place going nowhere fast D A When she caught my attention through the bottom of my glass D G D She was a waitress in the hotel above this smoky bar D A D She got up at dawn for breakfast and worked on 'til it got dark G D G And at six o'clock when her shift was up she'd drink the night away D A G D Well wouldn't you if you served gentlemen all dayVerso 2:
D G D Well she told me where she came from was a petty kind of town D A How her parents became born-agains after her brother got knocked down D G D And how she found the magazines in the boot of daddy's car D A D And he told her he was weak sometimes, just like how all gentlemen are G D G And in summer she'd work in his shop and then cry the night away D A G D Well wouldn't you if you served gentlemen all dayVerso 3:
D G D So she left her home and family one cloudy afternoon D A And she came here with her girlfriend who had found them both a room D G D And everyday they'd wake up early and go looking for a wage D A D In high-heels and makeup they would lie about their age G D G With her first job as a barmaid she's just dream her shift away D A G D Well wouldn't you if you served gentlemen all dayVerso 4:
D G D And one day by the dole office a car window rolled down D A And a gentleman asked for directions to her old home town D G D And it transpired he knew her family and he owned a string of bars D A D So he offered her a job if she would kiss him in his car G D G So it was that she accepted his advance of one week's pay D A G D Well wouldn't you if you served gentlemen all dayBreak: G D G DVerso 5:
D G D And as she told me all these tales she picked a scab around her wrist D A That she confessed it was self-inflicted with a whisky glass like this D G D Then she game her name and number to me -- I did not give mine D A A D She said maybe I should call her for some fun some timeVerso 6:
D G D And the funniest thing was that that name stuck in my head D A And eight months later it was in a headline that I read D G D They had pulled her out the river in that same black dress D A D And she lay there quite the lady for the gentlemen of the press G D G And her picture in the paper looked so small and far away D A G D Well wouldn't you if you served gentlemen all day
