Introdução: G
G
I wrote you long love letters
C G
Mama, I sent 'em on day by day
D
I need you now even more than I did before
G
But as I'm lookin' here's your daddy
C G
Comin' with a big ol' shotgun too
D G C G
My lovin' situation lookin' mighty poor
G
So if you're really wonderin'
C G
What I'm doin' in your backyard
D
I told you baby, I'd beat it home so soon
G
But if you're really worried
C G
About what I'm doin' in your backyard
D G C G
Come out later, I'll show you by the light of the moon.
G
I had some dreams and fortunes ready
C G
Mama, I got carried away
D
And lookin' back even more than I did before
G
But as I'm keepin' creepin' hidin' and sleepin'
C G
There's your daddy with the shotgun too
D G C G
My lovin' situation ain't nothin' but poor
G
So if you're really worried
C G
'Bout what I'm doin' in your backyard
D
I told you baby, I was beatin' it home so soon
G
But if you're really worried
C G
About what I'm doin' in your backyard
D G C G
C'mon out later, I'll show you by the light of the moon
