Riff 1:
e|---------------------|
B|---------------------|
G|---------------------|
D|---------------------|
A|--0-------0-0--------|
E|----3-0-3-----3-0-3--|

Riff 2 (it's performed by the bass, but is important to the 
song and can be done on guitar if you're playing acoustic, 
like for a bunch of friends or something...it's also used 
exclusively when walking to a "D" chord):
            D
e|----------2----------|
B|----------3----------|
G|----------2----------|
D|----------0----------|
A|--0-0-2-2------------|
E|---------------------|

Note: My soundbyte is not very high quality at all, and not 
for lack of effort, lol, it's hard to make it sound right 
without a band...but it SHOULD give an idea of KINDA how 
this awesome song is supposed to sound...also, you can 
barely hear the CD in the background, lol, so it's a little 
extra help...one more time, if you have any questions, 
please email me (Smoothie7745 at hotmail.com).  Enjoy!

Intro: A (listen to song for rhythm), then Riff 2
       D    E    Riff 1 (into Verse 1)

Verse 1:
          A                      D                    A
It didn't take too long before I ran out of things to say
            D                                          A
You know my baby and me we were going out on our first date
      E                                                Riff 1
And I hope she's not the kind that likes to make a man wait.

Verse 2:
It didn't take too long before I ran out of whiskey and gin
We're getting closer to her house and its right around the very next bend
I gotta loosen her up or she ain't never gonna let me in.

Chorus:
          A
It didn't take too long
          A
It didn't take too long
          D                      E                      Riff 1
It didn't take too long before I knew how long it would take.

Bridge:
              A(stop)
Because she's panting and she's screaming
        A(stop)
And the windows they are steaming
        A(stop)
And the things I hear her saying man,
        (NC, drums going to town here...)
I think she's really meaning
          D                      E                      Riff 1
It didn't take too long before I knew how long it would take.

Repeat Intro

Verse 3:
It didn't take too long until I realized what I fell in
Before she threw me on the floor and she loved me like a champion
Hey that little girl won herself a golden band

          A
It didn't take too long
          A
It didn't take too long
          D
It didn't take too long
          A
It didn't take too long
          E                        	  	  	  Riff 1
It didn't take too long before I knew how long it would take

Outro: A (same pattern as intro with the A), but then:
Db-D...(hold out)...A



Just listen to the song to hear that slide from Db to D, 
it's not hard...enjoy!
