Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro: C

           C
 Well the times are getting hard for you, little girl
        G                           D
 I'm a humming and a strumming, all over God's world
C
 You can't remember when you got your last meal
G                         D
 And you don't know just how a woman feels

Bb                                          Eb
 You didn't know what rock and roll was, until you met my drummer on a grey tour bus
 Bb                                  Eb                                             C
 I got there in the nick of time, before he got his hands across your state line, yeah

Interlude: C

               C
 Now it's the middle of the night on the open road
          G                         D
 And the heater don't work and it's oh so cold
C
 You're looking tired, you're looking kind of beat
       G                         D
 The rhythm of the street sure knocks you off your feet

Bb                                           Eb
 You didn't know how rock and roll looked, until you caught your sister with the guys from the group
 Bb                                       Eb
 Halfway home in the parking lot, by the look in her eye she was giving what she got

 C                                   F         C                                   F
 My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby, my, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby
 C                                   F         G
 My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby

  C
 Woman you're a mess going to die in your sleep
           G                     D
 There's blood on my amp and my Les Paul's beat
C
 Can't keep you home, you're messing around
     G                              D
 My best friend told me you're the best lick in town

Bb                                          Eb
 You didn't know that rock and roll burned, so you bought a candle and you lived and you learned
Bb                                      Eb
 You got the rhythm you got the speed, Mama's little baby likes it short and sweet

 C                                   F         C                                   F
 My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby, my, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby
 C                                   F         G
 My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby

Solo: C G D   C G D

Bb                                               Eb
 I didn't know you had a rock and roll record, until I saw your picture on another guy's jacket
 Bb                                   Eb
 You told me I was the only one, but look at you now, it's dark and you're gone

 C                                   F         C                                   F
 My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby, my, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby
 C                                   F         C                                   F
 My, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy, Baby, my, my, my, I'm once bitten, twice shy
