 Subject: CRD: Crime Of Passion by Ricky Van Shelton
                             "Crime Of Passion"
                             By Ricky Van Shelton
  [Riff]
  
  [F]                                              [F][A#]
  She had a rag-top Eldorado, "tuck-in-row pleat".
  [F]                                                                 [A#][F]
  She picked me up in Colorado...and put me right in the drivers seat.
  I said "I got no money...you know I got no job".
  She said "I tell you what honey...let's find a place to rob".

  [A#]                                                                  [A#][D#]
  Now the man at the station's name was Jim...I saw it sewed on his shirt.
  I told him "do what I say...you'll live another day...nobody's gotta get 
   [A#][B][C]
   hurt".
  
  [Chorus]
  [F]
  It was a crime of passion.                              [F][A#]
    She took me <him> by the heart when she took me <him> by the hand.
  [F]
  Crime of passion.               [A#][F]   
    A beautiful woman and a desperate man.
    
  [Riff (2nd half)]
  
  Well I thought the thing was over...she was countin' the cash.
  When an unmarked Chevy Nova, made the blue lights flash.
  She said "officer?  Would you help me please?"
  I looked at her...and she was pointin' at me.
  
  *
  You see Jim at the station played his part...he talked a little perjury.
  He went to great pains...to leave out a name...he was a future ex-husband
    ...can't you see?
    
  [Chorus]
  
  [Riff (whole)]
  
  *
  Now the cop at the station's name was Joe...saw it on his badge on his shirt.
  He said "you'll never get away...just do what we say...nobody's gotta get
    hurt."
  
  [Chorus]
   
  Crime of passion...
  
  [Riff (whole)]
  
  It was a crime of passion...(done over riff)
  
  [Riff ad nauseum]
