If Trouble Comes A Lookin Cifras

[Verse 1]
C
What is there in Little Rock at the Hilton Double Tree
       F                             F Am/E      Dm
Just a woman far from home a thousand miles out to sea
          C
She walks over to the window to pull the curtain shut
      F                             F Am/E         Dm
Pours three fingers of whiskey in a flimsy plastic cup
C
Sits down on the bedspread, takes off her wedding ring
   F                                 F Am/E             Dm
If she does something dark enough he might just set her free
         C
It’s her mother’s mother’s diamond in a shining golden band
        F                             F Am/E           Dm
Another woman who spent most her life loving the wrong man
 
[Chrous]
   F                C           Dm               C
If trouble comes a’ lookin’ she won’t be hard to find
      F              C                Dm              G
She’s sitting in the hotеl bar on her second glass of wine
    F            C                   Dm               C
Shе put a pretty dress on, wiped the tears out of her eyes
       F                C           Dm       G       C
And if trouble comes a’ lookin’ she won’t be hard to find
 
[Verse 2]
C
Just two floors down is Brother John from Our Lady of Grace
      F                                 F Am/E        Dm
He is older now but handsome still with such a lonely face
            C
He picked a hotel off the Interstate where even God won’t find him
         F                              F Am/E           Dm
Runs his fingers through the rosary and locks the door behind him
C
How was Christ so perfect, how on earth did he resist
    F                              F Am/E
The perfume on a woman’s neck, the softness of her lips
   C
He burned and burned for years with the fire of devotion
    F                             F Am/E               Dm       G
But some things are impossible to stop once they’re in motion
 
[Chorus]
   F                C          Dm               C
If trouble comes a’ lookin’ he won’t be hard to find
     F              C                Dm              G
He’s sitting in the hotel bar on his second glass of wine
 F               C               Dm             C
Across the empty room he glances up to meet her eyes
       F                C          Dm       G       C
And if trouble comes a’ lookin’ he won’t be hard to find
 
[Bridge]
   F               Am              C             Dm
At quarter til the bartender will make the final call
       F                 Am/E           Dm
She’ll slip down off her stool and sway slowly down the hall
          F                 Am             C                Dm
And he’ll kiss her like she always wanted, back against the wall
           F        C      Dm        C        F   C     G
And she’ll step out of her dress looking like Eve before the fall
 
[Chorus]
   F                C            Dm               C
If trouble comes a’ lookin’ they won’t be hard to find
        F               C                   Dm G
They’re tangled in each other’s arms in room 229
        F                  C            Dm             C
They’ve never strayed this far into the shadows of the night
       F                C            Dm       G       C
And if trouble comes a’ lookin’ they won’t be hard to find
       F                C            Dm       G       C
And if trouble comes a’ lookin’ they won’t be hard to find
 
[Outro]
C
Not every infidelity is bound to end in shame
       F                            F      Am/E      Dm
She’ll smile one month later when a letter bears his name
C
Brother John has gone to France and Italy to travel
       F                           F   Am/E  Dm
Where all of his ideas of God will happily unravel
