[Eb] This song is [D] by special request.
[N] I hear a symphony leader get married to this song.

don't like her legs all running.
She thinks the positive age is funny.
She looks down and don't look at the money.
She gets it all like an Easter Bunny.
[A] She's my baby, I'm her honey.
Never gonna [D] let her go.
He ain't getting laid in my Sunday's.
I walk up to you sniffing [G] my raisins.
He's so big, he's [D] so dumb.
He's a little extra, that's a gem.
[A] He's my baby, I'm his mom.
[D] I'm with my baby girl.
[G]
[D] Bubba, [A] I guess it's alright.
How you really [D] gonna get your way?
[G] I work all night.
I know it's right [D] off of my face.
There won't be nothing but [A] people who hurt [D] you.
You know that.

[D] [G]
[D] [G]
[D] [A]
[D] She thinks all my jokes are corny.
Comes to make movies and make her [G] horny.
She likes ketchup on the scrambled [D] eggs.
Swings like a sailor when she shaves her [A] legs.
She takes a ticket, and keeps on ticking.
Never gonna [D] let her go.
Where'd I spend four miles to put a glass of whiskey?
She went down to the river, my puppy.
[G] Tried the pots, froze [D] it up a little.
Maybe it's time she'd be some kind [A] of a mother.
He's my baby, I don't need money.
Never gonna [D] let her go.
[G] Don't ever [D] step down the railroad.
Against all [A] odds, I'm your favorite to [D] pick your tracks.
When [G] we're going to splat, I know it's right [D] off of our faces.
There won't be nothing but [A] people who hurt you.
You [D] know that.
There won't be nothing but [A] people who hurt you.
You [D] know that.
In spite of ourselves. Yeah!
