Capo 1 (Key of Ab)

Cadd9     G      Cadd9     G       Cadd9     G     D     G

              Cadd9                 G
I was at this no-name bar playin’ a round of pool,
        Em                    D
Cuttin’ up with the guys, and actin’ a fool.
           Cadd9                  G          
You hadn’t once crossed my mind
                           Em         D
Hell I should of kn…….o…..wn.
     Cadd9                      G
Sure enough you walked in this smirk on your face,
      Em                          G
Bein’ watched by every clown here in this place.
              Cadd9              G
My fun night out on the town
                       D
Was up and gone


(Chorus)

              Cadd9                       G
‘Cause every cowboy and bum was tryin’ to buy you shots, 
         Em                             D
You were groovin’ to the music lookin’ so dang 
       Cadd9                            G
I was rememberin’ things about you that I had forgot,
    Em             D
And trying not to stare.
        Cadd9                G
Girl I wouldn’t be in such a mess,
              Cadd9             G
If you hadn’t worn my favorite dress


Cadd9     G     D     G


There was one thing that was sure plain to see,

You knew dern good and well what you were doin’ to me,

‘Cause you kept lookin’ my way

With this devilish grin.

If it weren’t for that dress Hell, I’d have been alright,

But you made a doozy of a wardrobe choice tonight,

And I was doin’ my best 

Not to give in

              Cadd9                       G
‘Cause every cowboy and bum was tryin’ to buy you shots, 
          Em                           D
You were groovin’ to the music lookin’ so dang hot.
       Cadd9                            G
I was rememberin’ things about you that I had forgot,
     Em            D
And trying not to stare.
        Cadd9                G
Girl I wouldn’t be in such a mess,
              Cadd9             G
If you hadn’t worn my favorite dress



Cadd9     G       D        G




The guys told me not to do it, said don’t cross that line,

But it was too late, I’d already made up my mind

So I picked up my telephone, 

And made that call.

And in 15 minutes, opened that baroom door,

And a gorgeous Texas blonde walked onto the floor

She cuddled up next to me,

I glanced the drop of your jaw


(Chorus)
(Same progression as 1st)


‘Cause every song the jukebox played we were singin’ along,

Scootin’ and a twirlin’ to a Steve Earle song,

Lookin’ like we’d be there all night long

Just lovin’ and livin’ it up.

Aw I can tell you’re in a mess,

Watchin’ me smootchin’ with Ms. Texas.
