Long Tall Shorty 
Written by: Covey/Abramson 

Capo the third fret and play a blues shuffle in A.


                 A                    
They call me the Long Tall Shorty 
D                               A      
'Cause I know what love is all about 
             D                        
They call me Long Tall Shorty 
                                A     
'Cause I know what love is all about 
           E                          
Well I can tell you where the lights go 
D                A                     
Oh, when they go out 


A
  Girls, if you get lonely 
D                A                      
  Dial 4-2-4-6-8-9 
      D                               
Well, girls, if you get lonely 
               A                      
Dial 4-2-4-6-8-9 
         E                            
And your troubles will be over 
D                             A        
  I'll even give you back you dime 

Oh yeah 


           A7                   D7  A7       
I like 'em long, I like 'em tall 
                                    D7  A7
I like 'em short, and that ain't all 
                                    D7  A7
Now when I die, don't bury me deep 
                                          D7  A7
Just put some women to my head, to my feet 
                                        D7  A7  (Hold)
Tell all the world now, to come and peep 
                                 A7
Long Tall Shorty now has gone to sleep 
D           (Shuffle!)
Whoa now 

                            A
I like 'em long, I like 'em tall 
     E      D     A
Oh yeah 


                 A                    
They call me the Long Tall Shorty 
D                               A      
'Cause I know what love is all about 
             D                        
They call me Long Tall Shorty 
                                A     
'Cause I know what love is all about 
           E                          
Well I can tell you where the lights go 
D                A     Bb7  A7                
Oh, when they go out
