150 bpm
G / G7 / C / A7 / D / G
G
(1) She's got a golden tooth and a little foreign truck
and a smile that says it all.
C
She's been thinkin' 'bout things that she wouldn't dream of doing
G
and cruising for a big fall.
D
Oh it's been seven months since her old man left her
C
for a short skirt show-off blond.
G G7 C A7
If this ain't the night that she gets it all right
D G
then I guess I pegged her wrong.
G
(2) So she sewed up the hem on her pretty gingham gown,
G7
And she cut the front way down too.
C
She's been up-town to the beauty salon,
G
And she bought some new high-heeled shoes.
D
She's dressed fit to kill, and if she has her will,
C
Oh thats just what she'll do.
G G7 C A7
It's been a long time since she had herself a man,
D G
And she's got a lot of loving to do.

C
(3) Ah but that was last night, and this is today,
G
She danced all night till the sky turned grey.
A7
Held a lot of cowboys in her arms,
D
but she drove that little truck home alone.
G
(4) Now she put away the gown, and she's pulling on her jeans,
G7
And she's gettin' on her cowboy boots.
C
'Cause that sun is high in the southern sky,
G
An' she's got a lot of workin' to do.
D
You know she had a lot of fun for a girl on the run,
C
And she howled at the moon.
G G7 C A7
But if she gets a man he's gotta be a hand,
D G
'Cause a honky-tonk hero won't do.
C
(5) But when the moon is full and the stars are bright,
G
She'll run up town on a Saturday night.
A7
Be a girl gone wild with her golden smile.
D
And she'll hold that cowboys heart a while.
G
