G
When I met you
C G
You were working in a downtown five and dime
D
Spending all your paychecks cause you knew there'd come a time
C
When a man would come and take you
G
>From this work day drudgery
D G
I'm sad to say that foolish man was me
G
Well you said that we'd be happy
C G
If we moved into the city
D
And the way you later played me for a fool
Was sure a pity
C
Because a woman should treat her husband
G
With some tender loving care
D G
I'd come home and find you weren't there
G D
Kiss of the hops stole your love from me
C G
And that's just not the way it's suppose to be
G
You've been hanging round
C G
An all night honkey tonk till way past three
D G
Kiss of the hops stole your lips from me
G
I'll never know what happened
C G
To that sweet young thing I married
I do know that with your drinking
D
All my love for you was buried
C
So I guess I'll take my troubles
G
And drive far away from here
D G
I'll leave you to your night clubs and your beer
G D
Kiss of the hops stole your love from me
C G
And that's just not the way it's suppose to be
G
You've been hanging round
C G
An all night honkey tonk till way past three
D G
Kiss of the hops stole your lips from me
