Key: D
Introduction:
D G C7M
Just about sundown on the levee road near the old fishin' hole
D G C7M
Teaching me to shoot straight and true was your only goal
C D G
You threw a can up in the air and smiled
C D D/F#
I pulled the trigger, missed by a mile, you said
G D/F# Em
Aim a little higher and you can't miss
Am7 C D
Bless that can with a shotgun kiss
G D/F# Em
Aim a little higher, try it again
Am7 C D G
Aim a little, aim a little, aim a little higher
In later years on a river of tears I drifted home for a while
C/E G D/F# G
In those deceptive moments, in those deceptive days
C/E G D/F# Em
When the dung and the mire look like the high wire
C G Bm C2
Will there be anyone who loves me enough to say?
G G/B C
"You gotta aim a little higher, aim a little, aim a little higher"
G G/B C
"You gotta aim a little higher, aim a little, aim a little higher"
