SHE WANTED TO LEAVE - words and music by Ween
**from the album "The Mollusk"
Beanween offered this to the newsgroup: After playing it I realized that
this version sounds way more correct than the one I had up. So kudos to him
for sharing it with us. Bart Hutchinson and Jon Bernstein also had some
input. Rev. J. Thaddius Toad sent in version 2 at the bottom.

Intro - (A, G, D, D) X 2
A G D
Three men's all there were

Three men came aboard my ship

And took my true love from me

I couldn't believe

She wanted to leave
E A
She wanted to leave
A G D
I've loved you so long
A G D
Since you were a child
A G D
I've cared for your every need
D G
I've tried to make you smile
D G
When all the while
D G
You wanted to leave
E A
You wanted to leave
A G D
Go gather the guns
A G D
We'll blast them at sea
A G D
She begged for me not to shoot
D G
For "my true love is here with me,
D G
And I've never loved thee,
D G
And now I must leave,
E A
And now I must leave."
G A Bm A G
So go fetch a bottle of rum dear friends
G A Bm
And fill up my glass to the rim
G A Bm A G
For I'm not the man, I used to be
G A D
Now I'm one of them
***Version 2***
The main difference is how a few chords get played and I added a tiny
fill as well that I feel makes it flow a bit better.
