(note: I prefer to play this song in a half step down tuned guitar. I think the songs sounds closer to the
original that way; Kimberly Perry plays it live like this; You can play Em instead of E5 and A instead of A7
but I think it sounds better with E5 and A7)
E5
He was sweet as cotton candy at a county fair
A7 B7 E5
Well he's a cold drink of water with butterscotch hair
E5
He swore that he loved me well I guess he probably did
A7 B7 E5
'Cause when he rolled up his sleeve one day, I saw my name next to his
C G
A new tattoo stinging like a hornet, two little hearts like a big red warning
C B7
I wasn't looking for a permanent thing, first comes the ink, then comes the ring
E5 A7 E5 A7
Bye, bye baby, I bet we could've made a bunch of sweet memories
E D
You should have slowed down mister
C B7
Moving like a twister's just a little fast for me
A7 E A7 E A7 E
So now it's 0 to 60, and if you ever miss me I'm right there on your arm
D C B7 E5 A7
Don't you cry, I'll leave you something behind, skid marks and a double heart
E5
Well he's a tough bronc buster, I bet he sleeps in his boots
A7 B7 E5
Well he tried to throw a rope around me right out of the shoots
E5
He swore that he loved me, well I reckon he probably did
A7 B7 E5
'cause when he rolled up his sleeve one day I thought here we go again
C G
A new tattoo burning like a brand, two little hearts on my rodeo man
C B7
I wasn't looking for a permanent thing first comes the ink, then comes the ring
E5 A7 E5 A7
Bye, bye baby, I bet we could've made a bunch of sweet memories
E D
You should have slowed down mister
C B7
Moving like a twister's just a little fast for me
A7 E A7 E A7 E
But now I?m 0 to 60, and if you ever miss me I'm right there on your arm
D C B7 E5
Don't you cry, I'll leave you something behind skid marks and a double heart
A7 E5 A7
I?m a free bird
C G
A new tattoo whistling Dixie, two little hearts ain't gonna get me
C B7
I'm not looking for a permanent thing so don't shoot the ink 'til I take the ring
E5 A7 E5 A7
Bye, bye baby, I bet we could've made a bunch of sweet memories
E D
You should have slowed down mister
C B7
Moving like a twister's just a little fast for me
A7 E A7 E A7 E
Well now it's 0 to 60, and if you ever miss me I'm right there on your arm
D C B7
Don't you cry, I'll leave you something behind, skid marks and marks and a...
E5 A7
Skid marks and a... skid marks and a double heart
E5 A7 B7 E5
Well, I?m a free bird
