(Em) It's 2-(G)pm on Monday, (D) and here you come
(A)Pullin' (Em)in the neighbor-(G)hood but you ain't (D)out the woods (A)yet
Smilin' (Em)like you had some (G)luck but that's an (D)empty truck (A)bed

(Chorus)
You (Em)went out (G)hunting, but for-(D)got your (A)gun
Oh, (Em)DEER tell me (G)something, do you (D)think I'm (A)dumb?
Camo (Em)can't cover (G)up the smell of (D)her sweet (A)Dior
