I’ve Got A Tiger By The Tail Tab par Buck Owens and His Buckaroos

CHORUS:
 
             E                              A
I've got a tiger by the tail it's plain to see
   B7                                     E    B7
I won't be much when you get through with me
             E                                   A
Well I'm a losing weight and I'm turning mighty pale
  B7                                E
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail.
 
 
VERSE 1:
 
          E                                A
Well I thought the day I met you, you were meek as a lamb
  B7                                E     B7
Just the kind to fit my dreams and plans
 E                                  A
Now the pace we're livin' takes the wind from my sails,
         B7                                 E
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
 
 
REPEAT CHORUS
 
 
GUITAR SOLO:

VERSE 2:
 
      E                                A
Well every night you drag me where the bright lights're found
 B7                              E   B7
There ain't no way to slow you down
 E                             A
I'm as 'bout as helpless as a leaf in a gale,
        B7                                  E
and it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
