I've Got a Tiger by the Tail
by Buck Owens
 
C                            C7            F
I've got a tiger by the tail it's plain to see
  G7                                      C  G7
I won't be much when you get through with me
           C                     C7             F
Well I'm a losing weight and I'm turning mighty pale
G7                                 C
Looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
 
                                      F
Well I thought the day I met you were meek as a lamb
G7                                 C
Just the kind to fit my dreams and plans
                                    F
Now the pace we're living takes the wind from my sails
       G7                                 C
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
 
repeat #1
                                       F
Well every night you drag me where the bright lights are found
G7                             C
There ain't no way to slow you down
C                          F
I'm about as helpless as a leaf in a gale 
       G7                                 C
And it looks like I've got a tiger by the tail
 
repeat #1
