Man you better let go

I caught you looking
     C majorC   G+G
With your roving eye

So Mister you don't have to act so surprised

I grew up lonesome
    C majorC  G+G
On the open range

And that cold North wind, can make a man feel strange

My John B. Stetson

      G+G
Son to be polite
      C majorC
Take your hat off

When you walk inside

But the winds of change
       G+G
They fill the air
       G+G N.C.         D MajorD  G+G
And you can't set your hat down just anywhere

So if you plead not guilty
   C majorC    G+G
I'll be the judge

We don't need no jury to decide because

  C majorC    G+G
I wear a seven
      C majorC    G+G

If it's her you want
          G+G
I don't care about that
         G+G N.C.     D MajorD     G+G
You can have my girl, but don't touch my hat

You can have my girl, but don't touch my hat
