[Verse 1]

You're [Ab]struttin' into town like you're [Eb]slingin' a gun

Just a [C#]small-town dude with [Eb]big city attitude[Ab]

Honey are you [Eb]lookin' for some trouble to[C#]night - well al[Eb]right

You [Ab]think you're so bad drive the [Eb]women folk wild

[C#]shoot 'em all down with the [Eb]flash of your pearly smile[Ab]

Honey but you [Eb]met your match tonight[C#] - oh that's [Eb]right

[Pre-Chorus 1]

You think you'll [Fm]knock me off my feet 'til I'm [Ab]flat on the floor

'Til my [Bbm]heart is cryin' Indian and I'm [C#]beggin' for more

So [Eb]come on baby, come on baby

[C#]Come on baby show me what that [Eb]loaded gun is for

[Chorus]

If you can [Ab]give it - I can [Eb]take it

'Cos if this [C#]heart is gonna break it's gonna [Eb]take a lot to break it[Ab]

'Cos I know[Eb]ww tonight[C#] - somebody's [Eb]gonna win the fight

So if you're [Ab]so tough - c'mon and [Eb]prove it

Your heart is [Fm]down for the count an[C#]d you know you're gonna lo[Ab]se it

Eb Db (Hold Chord__________)
Tonight you're gonna go down in flames - just like Jesse James

My favourite way to play this song is with a clean, acoustic
sounding effect for the first two verses, then a heavy
distortion for the chorus, followed by a real smooth lead
sound for the solo, using the neck pickup. The actual record
is obviously played on a steel-stringed acoustic.

I play all of the chords using either the A or E shapes,
I find these sound closer to the record than if you use the D
shape for the Db and Eb.
