Intro
(spoken)
G Em Am
Oh, my mother was frightened by a shotgun, they say
G C D
That's why I'm such a wonderful shot.
G Em Am
I'd be out in the cactus and I'd practice all day,
C Am D
And now tell me what have I got?
Verse 1
G
I'm quick on the trigger
C D
With targets not much bigger
G C D
Than a pinpoint, I'm number one.
G Em
But my score with a feller
Am C
Is lower than a celler,
G D G
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun.
Verse 2
G
When I'm with a pistol,
C D
I sparkle like a crystal
G C D
Yes, I shine like the morning sun.
G Em
But I lose all my luster,
Am C
When with a bronco buster
G D G
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
Chorus
C G
With a gu-un, with a gu-un,
D
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
Verse 3
G
If I went to battle
C D
with someone's herd of cattle
G C D
You'd have steak when the job was done
G Em
But, if I shot the herder,
Am C
They'd holler bloody murder
Bridge
G D7
And you can't shoot a male
G C
In the tail like a quail
G D G
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
Verse 4
G
I'm cool, brave, and daring
C D
To see a lion glaring
G C D
When I'm out with my Remington
G Em
But a look from a mister
Am C
Will raise a fever blister
G D G
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun
Verse 5
G
The gals with umbrellas
C D
Are always out with fellers
G C D
In the rain or the blazin sun.
G Em
But a man never trifles
Am C
With gals who carry rifles.
G D G
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun.
Chorus
C G
With a gu-un, with a gu-un,
G C D
Oh you can't get a man with a gun
Verse 6
G
A man's love is mighty,
C D
He'll even buy a nightie
G C D
For a gal who he thinks is fun.
G Em
But they don't buy pajamas
Am C Am
For pistol packin' mamas!
Outro
G D7
And you can't get a hug
G C
From a mug, with a slug!
G D G
Oh, you can't get a man with a gun!
