Five Short Minutes

A
Well she was standing by my dressing
 room
After the show asking for my 
autograph and
A7                               
asked if she could go back to my 
D7
motel room
                              A
But the rest is just a tragic tale
        E
Because five short minutes of love
             D7                   
Will cost me twenty long years in 
A
jail
Verse 2
            A
Well like a fool in a hurry I took 
her to my room
She casted me in plaster while I 
A7
sang her a tune
            D7                 
Then I said ooh ooee sure was a 
        A
tragic tale
