Candy Apple Red chords by Bill Anderson

Chords with lyrics

C majorC              G7G7        C majorC
He came speeding through the town each day at sundown

            FF      C majorC
And his car was painted candy apple red

    FF                 C majorC
He was coming there to see the sheriff's daughter

                    G7G7
And the sheriff didn't know it so they said


     C majorC       G7G7           C majorC
Time and time again the sheriff tried to catch him

           FF     C majorC
But he always speeded up and got away

     FF               C majorC
That old county jail stood patiently a waiting

              G7G7         C majorC
And the sheriff vowed he'd put him there some day

        FF           C majorC
Well there goes candy apple red that's what the people said

   G7G7               FF      C majorC
If he doesn't slow it down a bit he's gonna end up dead

    FF               C majorC
And the sheriff's daughter said she'd rather end up dead

    G7G7              C majorC
Than to live without her candy apple red


            G7G7         C majorC
So the sheriff built a barricade to catch him

            FF       C majorC
And he sat there at the limits of the town

    FF               C majorC
But the sheriff's daughter had already met him

                    G7G7
And had married him before the sun went down

     C majorC        G7G7       C majorC
When the sheriff saw him coming down the highway

               FF         C majorC
He saw they couldn't stop and quickly caught his breath

    FF               C majorC
As they crashed the barricade the car exploded

           G7G7        C majorC
And the boy and girl went to a flaming death


        FF           C majorC
Well there goes candy apple red that's what the people said

   G7G7               FF      C majorC
If he doesn't slow it down a bit he's gonna end up dead

    FF               C majorC
And the sheriff's daughter said she'd rather end up dead

    G7G7              C majorC
Than to live without her candy apple red
