my mother was frightened by a shotgun, they say.
G

wonderful shot.

I'd practice all day.

D
G
But now tell me, what have I got?

I'm quick on the trigger,
F
G
C
Am
G
with targets not much bigger than the pinpoint of number one.

man with a gun.

C

oh, you can't get a man with a gun.

With a gun!

C
If I went to battle with
F
G
someone's herd of cattle,
C
Am
you'd have steak when
G
the job was done.
Em
C
But if I shot the herder,
F
they'd lock me up for murder
C
G
cause you can't shoot a male
C

in the tail like a quail.

Oh, can't get a man with a
C
Am
F
G

gun.

G
Carrie
C
Am
G
when the preacher has made them one.
Em
C
But he can't build you houses with
F
buckshot in his trousers
C

cause a man may be hot,
C
F
but he's not when he's shot.
C
