[Intro]
C7                     F7             F#dim7              C
You made a fool of me, but them broken dreams have got to end.
 
Am  G  F  G  (x2)
Am  G  F  G  (x2)
 
[Verse 1]
Am  G      F           G
Hey woman, you got the blues,
Am         G         F      G
'Cause you ain't got no one else to use.
Am         G    F         G
There's an open road that leads nowhere,
Am      G         F             G
So just make some miles between here and there.
Am        G          F              G
There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in,
Am       G           F         G
You took my body and played to win,
Am    G            F            G
Ha Ha woman it's a crying shame,
Am      G          F             G
But you ain't got no one else to blame.
 
[Chorus]
Am G   F    G Am G   F    G Am G   F   G  Am G F   G
E-evil Woman, E-evil Woman, E-evil Woman, Evil Woman
 
[Verse 2] (Same as verse 1)
Rolled in from another town,
Hit some gold too hot to settle down,
But a fool and his money soon go separate ways,
And you found a fool lyin' in a daze,
Ha Ha woman what you gonna do,
You destroyed all the virtues that the Lord gave you,
It's so good that you're feeling pain,
But you better get yourself on board the very next train.
 
[Chorus]
Am G   F    G Am G   F    G Am G   F   G  Am G F   G
E-evil Woman, E-evil Woman, E-evil Woman, Evil Woman
 
[Bridge]
Am G   F    G  (x6)
 
F Em9
 
[Chorus]
Am G   F    G Am G   F    G Am G   F   G  Am G F   G
E-evil Woman, E-evil Woman, E-evil Woman, Evil Woman
 
[Verse 3] (Same as verse 1)
Evil woman how you done me wrong,
But now you're tryin' to wail a different song,
Ha Ha funny how you broke me up, you made the wine now you
drink the cup,
I came runnin' every time you cried,
Thought I saw love smilin' in your eyes,
Ha Ha very nice to know, that you ain't got no place left to go.
 
[Chorus]
Am G   F    G Am G   F    G Am G   F   G  Am G F   G
E-evil Woman, E-evil Woman, E-evil Woman, Evil Woman

Lack of accuracy. Clearly wrong. There is no way anyone with a musical ear could play along and not hear that several of these are incorrect chords.

I think instead of a G you play an Em7 and instead of an F its a Dm7. At least it sounds better to me that way on a piano. The intro also isn't sevenths but C9 and F9 and I'm pretty sure the other chord between the F9 and C is an F#dim.

OldMateJacko is right on the Am-Em7-Dm7, as well as on the intro, and he's just being too nice about it. Also, the last lines of the verses are F-G-C, as MilesTeg mentioned. FFS, people. How does this get 5 stars?
