[Intro]
E A E A E

[Verse 1]
E
Well, I've listend tothe words you lovers speak,
A E
The sound of the lover's song,

And I've dreamed all the dreams that a wayward girl dreams,
A E
In a thousand places gone,
F#m
Dallas was my late night out,
A E
Radcliffe's served to roust me out,
A D E
And Houston lay like Cleavland with the color removed,
A E F#m
All I ever wanted,
A G#m B
Was to wander and be wooed,
A F#m
Like a Woman of the Phoenix.
B E A E
A welcomed Waterloo ooh, a ooh, ooh a ooh, ooh,
A E
ooh a ooh, ooh a ooh, ooh a ooh, ooh
A E A E A E
ooh a ooh, ooh a ooh, ooh a ooh, ooh

[Verse 2]
E
I've seen the sun blaze the breast of the countryside,
A E
I've seen her huddled in a winter freeze,

And I've run cross paths of a thousand lives,
A E
Among the cactus and the white birch trees,
F#m7
Avloc ran a waterfront bar,
A E
Vito, he was the king of theives,
D E
And Michael was a rock 'n roll hood from the Odessa plains,
F#m7
All of them were my kind,
A G#m B
Wild and damn near free,
A F#m B E A E
But, a Woman of the Phoenix is the medicine they ne--------ed.
A E
ooh a ooh, ooh a ooh, ooh a ooh, ooh
A E A E
ooh a ooh, ooh a ooh, ooh a ooh, ooh
