                            "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  by the heart when she took me  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]
