                          A7A7
I'm a pistol packin' papa and when I walk down the street

Verse 2:
D MajorD                            A7A7
Like a hobo when he's hungry, like a drunk man when he's full
                        D MajorD
I'm a pistol packin' papa, I know how to shoot the bull
                          A7A7
The hold-up men all know me and they sure leave me be
                        D MajorD
I'm a pistol packin' papa and I ramble where I please

Verse 3:
                      A augmentedA    A7A7
When I have that funny feeling, that luring ramblers call
                            D MajorD
I swing aboard some freight train and I shoot my pistol off
                        A augmentedA
Sometimes one shot will do me, sometimes takes four 'o five
A7A7                      D MajorD
Sometimes I shoot all around, before I'm satisfied

Bridge:
                                A7A7
When you hear my pistol poppin', you better hide yourself some place
             A augmentedA                  D MajorD
Cause I ain't made it for stoppin' and I come from a shootin' race

Break:
| D MajorD | A7A7 | D MajorD | A7A7 |

D MajorD                          A7A7
My sweetheart understands me, she says I am her big shot
                           D MajorD
I'm her pistol packin' daddy and I know I've got the drop
                               A augmentedA
You can give new sport roadster, you can take my hard boiled hat
A7A7                A augmentedA         D MajorD
But you can't never take from me, my silver-mounted gad

Outro:
                       A7A7
I'm a pistol packin' papa, I'm goin' to have my fun
                   A augmentedA       D MajorD
Just follow me and you will hear, the barkin' of my gun
