D D6 D D6
In old Savannah, I said Savannah,
G Gdim D B7
The weather there is nice and warm!
G Gdim D B7
The climate's of a Southern brand,
D B7 E7 A7
But here's what I don't understand:
D D6 D D6
They got a gal there, a pretty gal there,
G Gdim D B7
Who's colder than an Arctic storm,
G Gdim D B7
She's got a heart just like a stone,
E7 A7
Even the ice men leave her alone!
D D6 D Cdim
They call her Hard Hearted Hannah, the vamp of Savannah,
A7 Em7 A7
The meanest gal in town;
A7 Em7 A7 A7/5+ Gdim
Leather is tough, but Hannah's heart is tougher,
D Gdim Em7 A7/5+
She's a gal who loves to see men suffer!
D F#m Bm7 Cdim
To tease 'em, and thrill 'em, to torture and kill 'em,
G G/B Em7 F#7
Is her delight, they say,
G Gdim D B7
I saw her at the seashore with a great big can,
G F#7 B7
There was Hannah pouring water on a drowning man!
G Em7 A7 Em7 A7 D Cdim G/B A7
She's Hard Hearted Hannah, the vamp of Savannah, G - A!
D D6 D Cdim
They call her Hard Hearted Hannah, the vamp of Savannah,
A7 Em7 A7
The meanest gal in town;
A7 Em7 A7 A7/5+ Gdim
Talk about your cold, refrigeratin' mama,
D Gdim Em7 A7/5+
Brother, she's a polar bear's pajama!
D F#m Bm7 Cdim
To tease 'em, and thrill 'em, to torture and kill 'em,
G G/B Em7 F#7
Is her delight, they say,
G Gdim D B7
An evening spent with Hannah sittin' on your knees,
G F#7 B7
Is like drivin' through Alaska in your B - V - Ds.
G Em7 A7 Em7 A7 D Gdim D
She's just Hard Hearted Hannah, the vamp of Savannah,
