[Intro 1]
[G][D][C][D][C][G]
[C][D]
If [G]you've ever

[Verse 1]
been to New York [D]City,[Dm][F]
[C]You know what I'm[G] talking abo[C]ut,[G]

[Verse 2]
Yes you do.
[D]Well, if you've eve[G]r bee[C]n
to New York City,
You know what I'm talking about,
[G][D][G][D]
They got such [C]pretty [D]little
girls in that big town,
[C]Make a man want to jump around
[G]and shout.[C][C#][D][G]
I met a little girl [D]there,[G]
She was about five foot [D]eight.[G]

[Verse 3]
[G]I said "I w[D]ant you to love m[G]e."
She said "Why man, that'd be great."

[Verse 4]
[C]So,
I got long hair [Bb]but,[C]
She took me back,
Back [Bb]to see her pa[D]d,[C][G][D][G][F][G]
But [D]the first thing I saw when I arrived [C]there,
[D]
Was a big [C]black shiny shotgun,
In the [D]hands [G]of her dad.

[Verse 5]
[C]Al [G]right [D]now, [G]this is how it was,
Oh no!
[C]Well [D]alr[G]ight!
[Gm][G][C]

[C][G][F][G][D][G][C][G][C]
[D][C][Bb][G]
[F][G][D][C][Em][G]
[C][D][C][D][G]
I finally learned my lesson,
Such a [C]long time ago,
[G]Next little woman that I date,
I've got to know,
I've [C]got to know her family too.
[G]

[Verse 6]
[C]
Yes indeed, I gotta know her
[G]family [F]too.[Em][D][G]
[F]But if you don't [D]want to be filled
full of shotgun holes,
[C]Mister, this song is just

[Outro 1]
for you.
[G][Bm][C][D][G]
