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
