G+G G5/F D MajorD
[Verse]
D MajorD A augmentedA
Had a girl and I swore to be true
D MajorD A augmentedA
Long red curls and eyes of blue
G+G D MajorD
But she had a little temper so what did I do
G+G G5/F D MajorD
Had to let her down slow
[Chorus]
D MajorD A augmentedA
Got to let her down slow, my friend
D MajorD A augmentedA
Because she's the kind of woman who'll shoot you dead
D MajorD D/F#D/F# G+G
Her heart ain't never gonna listen to her head
G+G G5/F D MajorD
You gotta let down slow
[Interlude]
[Verse]
D MajorD A augmentedA
Met a girl, the small town type
D MajorD A augmentedA
And she made me feel wrong, and she made me feel right
G+G D MajorD
And I tried to disappear before the morning light
G+G G5/F D MajorD
She just wouldn't let me go
D MajorD A augmentedA
She told me she liked the way that I sang
D MajorD A augmentedA
And wanted something more than a one night fling
G+G D MajorD
And I tried like hell to make the church bells ring
G+G G5/F D MajorD
It's time to let her down slow
[Chorus]
[Interlude - Verse chords]
[Verse]
D MajorD A augmentedA
So I tried to tell her that I had someone
D MajorD A augmentedA
As I laced my boots and prepared to run
G+G D MajorD
When from under her vest she pulled a loaded shotgun
G+G G5/F D MajorD
{And she} was aiming down low
[Chorus]
[Verse]
D MajorD A augmentedA
You gotta let her down soft and slow
D MajorD A augmentedA
Cause she's a redneck hair-trigger, this I know
G+G D MajorD
Her daddy and her brothers are the local po-po
G+G G5/F D MajorD
You gotta let her down slow
G+G G5/F D MajorD
You gotta let her down slow

You gotta let her down slow (Gotta tell her no means no)

You gotta let her down slow (Naw, don't treat her bad)
G+G G5/F D MajorD
You gotta let her down slow (Might be the best time she's ever had)

You gotta let her down slow (No, don't treat her wrong)
