G

I got a woman, Odessa is her name

        G         Em        F     C         G

She got big brown eyes, big head on a solid frame

        G

Yes and she got a mouth put a junkyard dog to shame





G

If the river flood, woman say I brung the rain

        G    Em         F           C        G

If the quake shake, now who's gonna take the blame?

    G

The way Odessa do me, I got to move and change my name





   G

   Ease up Odessa, ease up and take it slow 

   G

   Ease up Odessa, woman turn your lamp down low 

           G      Em     F              C      G

   Ease up off me woman, lighten up and let it go





     G

Been firing off her mouth since way before she learned to crawl

      G           Em           F       C        G

Can't tell Odessa nothing, she already knows it all

      G

Don't venture no opinions, sure don't wanna start no brawl









Yeah, Odessa know it all, she knows it all better than me 

        G             Em      F           C   G

Don't need to make no baby, already got a family 

        G

Talkin' me and Odessa and her big old mouth make three





   G

   Ease up Odessa, ease up and take it slow 

   G

   Ease up Odessa, woman turn your lamp down low 

           G      Em     F              C      G

   Ease up off me woman, lighten up and let it go





     G*                        G*                    *-single strum

So I bring home the bacon, she says she want steak

G*                          G*

Give her cherry pie and she says she want cake

G*                           G*

Give her a diamond ring, she say it's a fake

G*             G*           G*    G*        G*         G*

Give her all I got, but she won't give me a break      C'mon



   G

   Ease up Odessa, ease up and draw a breath

   G

   Ease up Odessa, woman just give it a rest

           G      Em     F              C      G

   Ease up off me woman, gonna yell us both to death



Jam

     G

So I give her the world, she wouldn't take it on a bet

        G            Em       F           C            G

Been yelling since I met her, woman ain't done yelling yet

G
