[C]
Well the times are getting hard for you little fella
[G] I'm a humming and a strumming [D] all over God's world
[C] You can't remember when you got your left meal
[G] And you don't know [E] just [D] how a woman feels
[Bb] You didn't know what rock and roll was
[Eb] Until you met my drummer on Great Soul Bus
[Bb] I got there in the nick of time
[Eb] Before he got his hands across the street
And [E] I [C] said I've once been [F] twice shy of you
Once [C]
been [F] twice shy of you
[C]
I've once been [F] twice shy of you
[G]
[C] It's the middle of the night on the old road
[G] The heat of the world, [D] it's so so cold
[C] You're looking tired, you're looking kinda beat
[G] The rhythm of the street [D] shall not see you off your feet
[Bb] You didn't know how rock and roll looked
[Eb] Until you caught your sister with a gun in the groove
[Bb] Halfway home in the parking lot
[Eb] Mother's word she was giving while she got [C] her set
I've once been [F] twice shy of you
[C]
I've once been [F] twice shy of you
[C]
I've once been [F] twice shy of you
You're [G]
[C]
[F]
[C]
[F]
[C] a woman, you're a man, it's gonna die in your sleep
[G] There's blood on my hands [D] and my fanged up feet
[C] Can't keep you home, you're gonna mess it around
My [G] best friend told [D] me you're the best pick in [Bb] town
You didn't know that rock and roll was [Eb] better
So you bought a candle and you lived and you died
[Bb] You got the rhythm, you got the speed
[Eb] Mama's little baby left his shoulder, scream your [C] ass head
I've once been [F] twice shy of you
I've [C]
once been [F] twice shy of you
I've [C] [F] [C]
once been [F] twice shy of you
[G]
[C]
I've once been [F] twice shy of you
I've [C] [F] [C]
once been [F] twice shy of you
[C]
I've once [F] been twice shy of you
[C] I've once [F] been twice shy
