Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Oh, [B]my mother was [Ddim]frightened
by [C#]a shotgun, th[F#sus4]ey say.[B]
That's why I'm such a
[C#]wonderful [C#dim]shot.
[F#]I'll be ou[B]t in the cactu[Ddim]s,
and I'll [C#]practice [F#sus4]all day.[B]
And [F#]I'll [C#dim]tell me what
have [C#]I got[F#].[Em]
[E]I'm [A]qui[D]ck on the trigger,
with [G]targets not much [A]bigger
than a [D]pinpoint [Bm]of n[E]umber on[A]e
[Edim]But my s[A]core w[D]ith a feller
is [G]lower than a [Gm]seller,
oh you [D]can't get a [C#]man with a [G]gun
[A]Put [D]on with a pistol,
I [G]sparkle like a [A]crystal
Yes, I [D]shine like the [Bm]morning [E]sun[Em]
[A]But I [D]lose all my luster
when [G]with a bronco [Gm]buster
Oh, you [D]can't get a [A]man with a [D]gun[G]
[D]With a [G]gun, with a [D]gun
No, you [Bm]can't get a [E]man with a [A]gun
If [D]I went to battle
with [G]someone's herd of [A]cattle,
you'd upstake [D]when the [Bm]job w[E]as d[A]one
But if [D]I shot the herder,
they'd [G]have a bloody murder
[Em]An d you c[D]an't g[A]et a hug
from a [D]mother with a [G]slug
[Edim]Oh, you can'[D]t get a man [A]with
a [D]gun[G][D][G][A][D][G]
[A]I'm coo[D]l, brave and darin'
To [G]see a [E]lion [A]glarin'
When I'm out [D]with my [Bm]ram
[E]blin' [Eaug]top[Bbdim]
[A]But I [D]look from a mister
[G]Who'll raise a fever [Gm]bluster
[Edim]Oh, you [Gm]can'[D]t get a man [A]with[C#] a gun[Em]
[A]To [D]gals with umbrellas
Who are [G]always helpin' fel[A]las
In the [D]rain or the [Bm]blazin' [A]sun[Em]
[A]But a [D]man never trifles
With [G]girls who carry [Gm]rifles
No, you [D]can't get a [A]man with a [D]gun[A]
[D]With a [G]gun, with a [D]gun
No, you [Bm]can't get a [E]man with a [Em]gun[A]
A [D]torn dick or hairy
Will [G]build a house for [A]Carrie
When the [D]preacher has
[Bm]made [E]them [A]one
But he [D]can't build your houses
with [G]buckshot and his [Gm]roses
[Edim]And you can't [A]shoo[D]t a male[A]
in the [D]tail like a [G]quail[Em]
[Edim]Oh, you can't [D]get a male[Em]
[A]with a [G]gun[D][A]
A [D]man's [A]love is [D]mighty,
[G]hell even by [A]a nightie,
for a [D]gal that he [Bm]thinks [E]is [A]fine,
but they [D]don't buy pyjamas
for [G]pistol -pack[Ebdim]in' mothe[Em]rs.
[Edim]For a man may [A]be h[D]ot,[A]
but he's [D]not when he's shot
[Edim]Oh, you can [Edim]'t get a[Bm]
man [A]with a [G]gun
[A][D]
