[Verse 1]

       G#                              Eb
You're struttin' into town like you're slingin' a gun

       Db                   Eb                G#
Just a small-town dude with big city attitude

              Eb                         Db             Eb
Honey are you lookin' for some trouble tonight - well alright

    G#                            Eb
You think you're so bad drive the women folk wild

Db                          Eb                         G#
shoot 'em all down with the flash of your pearly smile

              Eb                    Db           Eb
Honey but you met your match tonight - oh that's right

[Pre-Chorus 1]

                 Fm                            G#
You think you'll knock me off my feet 'til I'm flat on the floor

        Bbm                            Db
'Til my heart is cryin' Indian and I'm beggin' for more

   Eb
So come on baby, come on baby

Db                             Eb
Come on baby show me what that loaded gun is for

[Chorus]

           G#              Eb
If you can give it - I can take it

             Db                              Eb                     G#
'Cos if this heart is gonna break it's gonna take a lot to break it

           Eb        Db            Eb
'Cos I knowww tonight - somebody's gonna win the fight

             G#                   Eb
So if you're so tough - c'mon and prove it

              Fm(VIII)                   Db                        G#
Your heart is down for the count and you know you're gonna lose it

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

Well you had your way with love but it's the end of the day

      Bbm                          Db
Now a team of wild horses couldn't drag your heart away

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
