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@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.
[Refrão] 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!
