John Hartford and Jamie Hartford (father and son), from their album Hartford and 
Hartford, a great sad old cowboy song.

Capo on 2nd fret

G                           D   
You've found what you want, now go and get her
G                           C
It's probably all right but maybe you'd better
G                     D
Play it real cool and don't take no chance
D                                     G-A-B-C  finger pick this to transition into the C chord
Or maybe you'd better just ask her to dance


C                           G   
It's a dangerous world we live in
C                            D  
So you'd better keep up your guard
C                                 G
You can have all the safe sex you want to
D                                G-A-B-C
But she's still gonna break your heart

Solo

G                         D
You've seen her around, you even know her brother
G                          C
What makes you think she'd be a good lover
G                            D
One that won't hurt you and leave you to die,
D                                      G-A-B-C
One that won't lay out with some other guy



C                           G   
It's a dangerous world we live in
C                            D  
So you'd better keep up your guard
C                                 G
You can have all the safe sex you want to
D                                G-A-B-C
But she's still gonna break your heart
C                                 G
You can have all the safe sex you want to
D                                G
But she's still gonna break your heart
