Two Shots

John Denver (klr)

I took [[C]] two [[D]] shots, got [[C]] no [[G]] ducks and [[D7]] cold, cold

[[G]] hands

[[G]] Last night while [[D7]] Mike and I were out [[C]] drinking

[[Am]] Trying to [[D7]] have a good [[G]] time [[G7]]

The [[C]] lady with whom I was [[G]] speaking [[Em]]

[[A7]] Thought I was feeding her some old [[D7]] line

When I [[G]] spoke of a [[D7]] cold winter^?s [[C]] morning

The [[C]] sound of the [[Am]] snow softly [[G]] falling [[Em]]

When I [[A7]] thought I heard somebody [[D7]] say

I took [[C]] two [[D]] shots, got [[C]] no [[G]] ducks

And [[D7]] cold, cold [[G]] hands

I could [[G]] tell by the [[D7]] gaze of my [[C]] comrades

That [[Am]] I was the [[D7]] one who had [[G]] spoke [[G7]]

Their [[C]] eyes held a message of [[G]] patience [[Em]]

The [[A7]] thrill of the hunt and of [[D7]] hope

But when [[G]] I spoke [[D7]] again how they [[C]] listened

For the [[Am]] wisdom of [[D7]] what I might [[G]] say [[G7]]

If the [[C]] good Lord had [[Am]] meant us to [[G]] shoot one [[Em]]

He^?d [[A7]] surely send more ducks our [[D7]] way

I took [[C]] two [[D]] shots, got [[C]] no [[G]] ducks

And [[D7]] cold, cold [[G]] hands

(spoken)

Well the [[G]] lady with [[D7]] whom I was [[C]] speaking

She laughed [[Am]] lightly and she [[D7]] wandered [[G]] away [[G7]]

My [[C]] heart like the snow in my [[G]] story [[Em]]

Fell [[A7]] silent I^?d hoped she would [[D7]] stay

(sing)

It^?s so [[G]] nice to [[D7]] talk to some [[C]] body

To find [[Am]] someone who^?s [[D7]] willing to [[G]] share [[G7]]

I [[C]] know that this [[Am]] life is worth [[G]] living [[Em]]

But [[A7]] sometimes it just isn^?t [[D7]] fair

I took [[C]] two [[D]] shots, got [[C]] no [[G]] ducks

And [[D7]] cold, cold [[G]] hands

I took [[C]] two [[D]] shots, got [[C]] no [[G]] ducks

And [[D7]] cold, cold [[C]] hands

[[G]] - [[Am7]] - [[G]]

I hope you all enjoyed that goody, I know I do.
