on the run And eloquent profanity, it rolls right off my tongue. And I have dined in palaces, drunk wine with kings and queens But Darlin', oh Darlin', you're the best thing I ever seen. Won't you roll ma easy, oh slow and easy. Take ma independence, with no apprehension, no tension. You're walking, talking ha-um paradise sweet paradise. I've been across this country from Denver to the ocean, and I never met girls that could sing so sweet like the angels that live in Houston. Singing roll ma easy, so slow and easy Play the concertina be a temptress and Baby I'm defenseless. Singin' harmony in unison sweet harmony gotta hoist the flag and I'll beat your drum. | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note ===============================================================================
