Great song by Corb, gotta be one of my favourites off of Losin' Lately Gambler!
Watching videos on Youtube to get me started, there are covers off the song where the
people covering it play with the Capo on the 2nd fret, but Corb definitely plays with the
Capo on the 6th fret. Please Rate, Comment, and Enjoy!

There is a woman, she lives in the west
She's not the devil, but she wears his best dress
She's quicker than lightning with the iron on her hips
She's quicker than lightning and they say she don't miss
I can't say I love you, I don't hardly know you
They warned me about you from the start
They said "Don't you cross her, if you don't want a hole in your heart"
The dress hides a pistol, a top-break Schofield I think
Not that it matters when you're outdrawn in a blink
She builds her own cartridge, it's a wildcatted load
With a wadcutting bullet for a blood letting wound
I can't say I love you, I don't hardly know you
They warned me about you from the start
They said "Don't you cross her, if you don't want a hole in your heart"

I can't say I love you, I don't hardly know you

They said "Don't you cross her, if you don't want a hole in your heart"
There is a woman, she lives in the west
She's not the devil, but she wears his best dress
And there you have it!! I didn't tab out the little licks in the verses in choruses from
Grant Siemens,
but it shouldn't be too hard to figure them out, with a little bit of fooling around
you'll probably find it,
plus there's six less frets to fool around with.
