*This song, and the construction of it's tab, is dedicated to my "pistol" Michele*
Capo on 2nd fret.
Intro:
G, Emin., Cmaj (while harmonica is simutaneously played)
[Verse 1]:
Em9.
I love how you curse when I wake you up
Em9.
And sweetly demand that I fill your cup
Em9.
I follow your cool gunpowder glare
Em9.
Honey, you lay me there
[Chorus]:
Em9. (lift E note to open A)
You’re the girl of my dreams
And a pistol it seems
G Em9. (lift E note to open A)
But you shoot me straight and true
Time to lay down my bets
Cm9. G
Oh, I put all my money on you
Gmaj, Emin., Cmaj. (while harmonica is played)
[Verse 2]:
Em9.
When I’m in the dark girl you bring me [to] light
Em9.
I love how you’re almost always right
Em9.
So keep boxing my ears when I sew them shut
Em9. C
Baby, you sure are tough
[Chorus]:
Em9. (lift E note to open A)
You’re the girl of my dreams
And a pistol it seems
G Em9. (lift E note to open A)
But you shoot me straight and true
Time to lay down my fears
Cm9.
Honey, I feel so safe around you
Gmaj, Emin., Cmaj (while harmonica is played)
[Verse 3]:
Em9.
To the man who taught me anything
Em9.
He said “a hard-headed woman is what I need”
Em9.
To help me to always do my best
Em9.
Baby my life is blessed
[Chorus]:
Em9.
You’re the girl of my dreams
Darling, please wear this ring
G Em9. (lift E note to open A)
You’re an angel through and through
Time to lay down my life
Cm9. Em9 (strums into A7?)
Honey I’d do it gladly for you...
Time to lay down my life
Cm9. G
Honey I'd do it gladly for you
