Biography:
John Cowan Hartford (December 30, 1937– June 4, 2001) was an American country and bluegrass composer and musician known for his mastery of the fiddle and banjo, as well as for his witty lyrics, unique vocal style, and extensive knowledge of Mississippi River lore. Hartford performed with a variety of ensembles throughout his career, and is perhaps best known for his solo performances where he would interchange the guitar, banjo, and fiddle from song to song.

Capo on 2nd fret
G D
You've found what you want, now go and get her
G C
It's probably all right but maybe you'd better
G D
Play it real cool and don't take no chance
D G-A-B-C finger pick this to transition into the C chord
Or maybe you'd better just ask her to dance
C G
It's a dangerous world we live in
C D
So you'd better keep up your guard
C G
You can have all the safe sex you want to
D G-A-B-C
But she's still gonna break your heart
Solo
G D
You've seen her around, you even know her brother
G C
What makes you think she'd be a good lover
G D
One that won't hurt you and leave you to die,
D G-A-B-C
One that won't lay out with some other guy
C G
It's a dangerous world we live in
C D
So you'd better keep up your guard
C G
You can have all the safe sex you want to
D G-A-B-C
But she's still gonna break your heart
C G
You can have all the safe sex you want to
D G
But she's still gonna break your heart
