They called him Great Scott because he was great
|G/D |Am |Am/E |Am
They called her Great Susan 'cause she was his date
|Am/E |G |G/D |D
She climbed in a box, he cut her in two
|D |C |Cm |G |
And when he was through she was just half a woman
| G | G (* off on 2)|
n/c |G |G/D |G
And he'd tie her up, set her on fire
|G/D |Am |Am/E |Am
He'd douse her with oil, the crowd would go wild
|Am/E |G |G/D |D
She was always alright at the end of the night
|D |C |Cm |G | G | G | G |
But somehow she felt like just half a woman
|Em |Em |G |G |
The show went the same way year after year
|Em |Em |G |G |
He'd wave his magic wand, and she'd disappear
|Em |Em |G |G |
One day she asked, "How did this come to be
|Am |Am |C | C |D | D | D | D (off on 2) |
. Somewhere there must be more ——— to me."
| G | G/D | G | G/D | Am | Am/E | Am | Am/E |
| G | G/D | D | D | C | Cm | G | G | G (off on 2) |
|n/c |G |G/D |G
And one day she left, she climbed through the stage
|G/D |Am |Am/E |Am (* drum roll)|
And into the trap door under the lion's cage
|n/c |G |G/D |D
And after a spell he said, "What the hell.
|D |C |Cm |G | G |
It was just as well. She was just half a woman."

My chord charts are intended to show how, as a rhythm guitarist,
I play songs. I don't claim they are the "right" way. They're not
intended to be tabs, which notate precisely how a song was played
on a recording.
