The Taker Tabs

(ver. 1)
Kristofferson Kris
Some time ago a fellow somewhere in eastern Europe (I think) asked
for the lyrics to 'The Taker' by Kris Kristofferson, and in my online
written reply to him there were two or three minor faults. It didn't
occur to me at that time that he would copy it onto Nevada...:-)
Here is the corrected version... I guess you can delete these words
and repace the former version of the taker with this one. Thanks...!

THE TAKER.
----------
 
He's a giver, he'll give her
the kind of attention that she's never known
He's a helper, he'll help her
to open the doors that she can't on her own
He's a lover, he'll love her
in ways that she never has been loved before
And he's a getter, he'll get her
 
And he's a taker, he'll take her
to places and make her fly higher than she's ever dared to
He'll take his time before takin' advantage
takin' her easy and slow
And after he's taken her body and soul
that she gives him, he'll take her for granted
Then he'll take off and leave her
takin' all of her pride as he goes
 
He's a charmer, and he'll charm her
with money and manners that I never learned
He's a leader, and he'll lead her
across pretty bridges he's planning to burn
He's a talker, he'll talk her
right of of her feet, but he won't talk for long
Cause he's a doer, and he'll do her
the way that I never
And damned if he won't do her wrong
