Tennessee Ernie Ford - Shotgun Boogie guitar chord

There it (C) stands in the corner with the barrel so straight

I looked out the window and over the gate

The (F) big, fat rabbits are a-jumpin' in the grass

(C) Wait'll they hear my old shotgun blast (*)

Shot-(F) gun Boogie (* * * *) I done saw your (C) tracks ...

Look (G) out Mr. Rabbit when I (G7) cock my hammer (C) back.

Well, over on the ridge is a (*scaley bark)

Hick'er nuts so big you can see 'em in the dark

The big fat Squirrels they scratch and they bite

I'll be on that ridge before daylight (*)

Shot-gun Boogie (* * * *) all I need is one shot ...

Look out bushy tail, tonight you'll be in the pot.

Well, I met pretty gal she was tall and thin

I asked her what she had, she said: "A FOX 410."

I looked her up and down and said: "Boy, this is love."

So we headed for the brush to shoot a big fat Dove (*)

Shot-gun Boogie (* * * *) boy the feathers flew ...

Look out Mr. Dove when she draws a bead on you.

I sat down on a log, took her on my lap

She said: "Wait a minute, bub, you got to see my pap,

He's got a 16-gauge choked down like a rifle

He don't like a man that's a-gonna trifle." (*)

Shot-gun Boogie (* * * *) draws a bead so fine ...

Look out big boy, he's loaded all the time.

Well, I called on her pap like a gentleman oughter

He said: "No brush hunter's gonna get my daughter."

He cocked back the hammer right on the spot

When the gun went off, I outran the shot (*)

Shot-gun Boogie (* * * *) I wanted wedding bells ...

I'll be back little gal, when your pappy runs out of shells.
