[Verse]
A#7 F# A#7 A#6
Oh,my mother was frightened by a shotgun,
F
they say
C7 A#7 D#m7
That's why I'm such a won-der -ful shot_
F# Cm7 A#m A#6
I'd be out in the cactus and I'd practice
all day
A#7 D#m F# A#m A#7 A#m F#
And now tell me what have I got?
C7 F7
I'm quick on the trigger with targets
not much bigger
C7 D#m
Than a pin point. I'm num ber one
C7 G# F7
But my score with a feller is lower than a cellar
G# A#m A#6
Oh you can't get a man with a gun___
C7 F7
When I'm with a pistol, I sparkle like a crystal
C7 A#7 A#6
Yes, I shine like the morn ing sun___
C7 F7
But I lose all my luster, when with a
D#m
bronco buster
[Chorus]
Cm7 C7 A#m A#6
Oh you can't get a man with a gun_____
D A#m A#7 A#6
With a gu-un, with a gu-un, No, you can't get a man with a gun___
A#m F7
If I went to battle with someones herd of cattle
C7 D D#m A#6 C7
You'd have steak when the job was done___
C# C F7 A#6
But, if I shot the herder, they'd holler bloody murder
A#m A#6
Oh you can't get a man with a gun___
[Interlude]
It is the verse, most versions have another verse here she has an orchestra
[Verse]
C7 D#m A#m A#7 A#m
The gals with umbrellers are always out with fellers
C7
In the rain or the blazin' sun___
C7 F7 C# F# A#7
But a man never trifles with gals who carry rifles
[Chorus]
C# A#6
Oh you can't get a man with a gun
F7 A#7 G# A#6
With a gun, with a gun, No you can't get a
A#6 C7
man with a gun___
[Verse]
A#7 D F7 A#7
A man's love is mighty, he'll even buy a
C7 A#6 C7
nightie For a gal who he thinks is fun__
D#m Cm7 D#m A#7 A#6
But they don't buy pajamas for pistol packin' mamas
G F#m
And you can't shoot a male in the tail like
A#7
a quail
D#m A#7 F
Oh you can't get a man with a gun___
