            Am                Am                Am              Am
There was a thickset man with frog eyes who was standing at the door
      G                    G                 G              G
And a little bald man with wing nut ears was waiting in the car
      F                       G                   D               G
Well, Robert Moore passed the frog-eyed man as he walked into the bar
             Am         Am               Am    Am
And Betty Coltrane, she jumped under her table

             Am                    Am               Am               Am
"What's your pleasure?", asked the barman, he had a face like boiled meat
           G                 G             G              G
"There's a girl called Betty Coltrane that I have come to see"
       F               G                    D           G
"But I ain't seen that girl 'round here for more than a week"
             Am             Am              Am    Am
And Betty Coltrane, she had hid beneath the table

           Am        Am                   Am              Am
Well, then in came a sailor with mermaids tattooed on his arms
         G                   G                     G              G
Followed by the man with the wing nut ears who was waitin' in the car
      F                   G                     D            G
Well, Robert Moore sensed trouble, he'd seen it comin' from afar
             Am         Am                 Am    Am
And Betty Coltrane, she gasped beneath the table

             Am                Am                        Am
Ah well, the sailor said, "I'm looking for my wife, they call her Betty
   Am
Coltrane"
        G                    G                     G                G
And the frog-eyed man said, "That can't be, that's my wife's maiden name"
        F                     G                  D                   G
And the man with the wing nut ears said, "Hey, I married her back in Spain"
             Am               Am               Am    Am
And Betty Coltrane crossed herself beneath the table

      Am                   Am                 Am          Am
Well, Robert Moore stepped up and said, "That woman is my wife"
       G             G            G            G
And he drew a silver pistol and a wicked bowie knife
       F                     G             D                    G
And he shot the man with the wing nut ears straight between the eyes
             Am         Am               Am    Am
And Betty Coltrane, she moaned under the table

             Am                      Am               Am
Ah well, the frog-eyed man jumped at Robert Moore who stabbed him in the
Am
chest
       G             G                                G                 G
And as Mr. Frog-Eyes died he said, "Betty, you're the girl that I loved best"
         F               G             D             G
Then the sailor pulled a razor, Robert blasted it to bits
         Am                 Am        Am     Am
"And Bettyyy, I know you're under the table"

       Am                  Am               Am           Am
"Well, have no fear," said Robert Moore, "I do not wanna hurt you"
 G             G             G               G
"Never a woman did I love me half as much as you"
            F                G                  D              G
"You're the blessed sun, the meek girl, and you are the sacred moon"
          Am               Am                 Am    Am
And Betty    shot his legs out from under the table

      Am                Am                Am             Am
Well, Robert Moore went down heavy with a crash upon the floor
    G                     G           G                 G
And over to his thrashin' body, Betty Coltrane, she did crawl
    F                  G                    D                       G
She put the gun to the back of his head and pulled the trigger once more
             Am             Am       Am    Am
And blew his brains out all over the table

      Am                 Am                 Am               Am
Well, Betty stood up and shook her head and waved the smoke away
           G          G          G                     G
Said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Barman, to leave your place this way"
       F                 G                          D                 G
As she emptied out their wallets she said, "I'll collect my severance pay"
         Am                 Am            Am    Am
Then she winked and threw a dollar on the table
