The Taker
Recorded by Waylon Jennings
Written by Kris Kristofferson and Shel Silverstein

D7     G
He's a giver he'll give her
                           D7          Am
The kind of attention that she's never known
       D7
He's a helper he'll help her
                           G
To open the doors that she can't on her own


He's a lover and he'll love her
                         F            C
In ways that she's never been loved before
       D7           Am
He's a getter he'll get her
   D7          Am       D7                         G
By getting her into the world she's been hungering for

D7     G
He's a charmer he'll charm her
                            D7      Am
With money and manners that I never learned
       D7
He's a leader he'll lead her
                           G
Across pretty bridges he's planning to burn


He's a talker he'll talk her
                             F              C
Right off of her feet but he won't talk for long
             D7             Am
Cause he's a doer and he'll do her
    D7           Am    D7                        G
The way that I'd never damned if he won't do her wrong

       C
He's a taker he'll take her to places
                                        D7
And make her fly higher than she's ever dared to

He'll take his time before taking advantage
                    G
Taking her easy and slow

    C
And after he's taken the body and soul
                                 D7
She gives him he'll take her for granted
          C            D7
But he’ll take off and leave her
C                D7            G
Taken all of her pride when he goes
