Verse

Had a girl and I swore to be true

Long red curls and eyes of blue

Had to let her down slow

Interlude 

Verse 
D               A 
Met a girl, the small town type 
        D                           A 
And she made me feel wrong, and she made me feel right 
      G                             D 
And I tried to disappear before the morning light 
G        G5/F         D 
She just wouldn't let me go 

D                         A 
She told me she liked the way that I sang 
    D                            A 
And wanted something more than a one night fling 
      G                             D 
And I tried like hell to make the church bells ring 
G            G5/F         D 
It's time to let her down slow 

Chorus

So I tried to tell her that I had someone

As I laced my boots and prepared to run 
          G                           D  
When from under her vest she pulled a loaded shotgun

{And she} was aiming down low
